Summer of Adventure at Scitech
Calling all adventurers, explorers and pirates! These School Holidays, get ready to embark on a Summer of Adventure at Scitech — where science, fun and discovery await around every corner.
Step into Here, There and Everywhere, our brand-new science gallery, and uncover hands-on exhibits that will spark your imagination and fuel your curiosity. Test your clue solving skills in the Scavenger Hunt, with daily prizes up for grabs every day of the school holidays! Blast off to the outer edges of the Solar System in the Planetarium and journey to Pluto with The Great Schiaparelli. Then, gather around the fire in the Science Theatre as we turn up the heat with Perfect Firestorm, a live show guaranteed to ignite your inner scientist.
If you’re feeling a little more nautical, join the crew in the RTIC space for Pirate Science and dive into a world of seafaring experiments and shenanigans. And for those who love to take their learning further, our Scitech Lab workshops are back with bookable sessions designed to inspire curious minds of all ages.
There’s adventure waiting at every turn these School Holidays at Scitech — with doors open from 9am daily (usually 9.30am)
