Step into outer space as Scitech begin a month-long program of space-themed events and activities for Space Academy and feature exhibition 'Planet Pioneers'.
You will get to experience driving the Surface Exploration Vehicle, flying a virtual drone, virtual reality headsets and experiencing G-Force in the spinning capsule.
Over in the Scitech Planetarium, you can explore our potential to develop the next level of spacecraft in 'Faster Than Light: The Dream of Interstellar Flight'. And in the Puppet Theatre, Quizzy the Emu needs your help to blast off to explore outer space.
There is a Space Station designed especially for young astronauts, over in Discoverland and even more hands-on activities in The Tinkering Space.
You can even do some stargazing to really round out your visit as well as chat to the scientists as they deliver presentations, answer all your queries and lead engaging-hands on activities.
The popular CSIRO Lab Workshops have also returned for students aged 4-16, providing hands-on experiences with a space twist. Complete a Mars Rover robotic challenge, create your own Sci-Fi track or make a centre of gravity spacecraft toy, and much more.
The feature exhibition 'Planet Pioneers' provides visitors with 17 hands-on exhibits that will put budding astronauts and space explorers to the test when they attempt to source their own food, shelter and solve problems in the unknown land.
Keep the kids entertained and blast off with Scitech these school holidays.
