family fun with hands-on science
We have scanned the universe for exhibits that would ignite you and your familiy's curiosity, creativity and stimulate learning through STEM powered fun!
Unlock your creative spirit and let your curiosity wander through scores of hands-on interactive exhibits. Watch simple science concepts come to life.
Our exhibits are deliberately designed not to intimidate or confuse, everything is up for touching and exploring to create your own unique TwistED Science experience.
Use augmented reality to discover how water flows, beat your friends in a reaction speed test, race balls in and around tracks and tubes, design and test your own paper flying machines, and get lost in the brand new dedicated bubble-making room.
no instructions policy
We are a little bit different to most science centres:
- all exhibits invite interaction and can be enjoyed without the barrier of age, ability or culture.
- instructions are only included as a last resort and all exhibits are about doing and having fun!
- we encourage you to touch, explore, get hands-on and have a go at everything
- this is a place where both kids and adults can play, learn and make memories together
Our mission is to create a fun learning environments where children and families can be curious, create and connect with the world around them.
Keeping You Safe
Your safety is our first priority.
We are extremely conscious of keeping everyone safe at TwistED Science during your visit. We have 2 full-size roller doors opening to outdoors, fully fenced for child security but allowing a flow of fresh air into our Playzone areas.
Air purifiers are on site in smaller rooms and child friendly sanitiser stations can be found throughout the centre.
We deep clean and sanitise twice daily, after each session.
All staff are fully vaccinated and wear masks.
All visitors 18 years old and over must be fully vaccinated to enter.
Gift Shop and Snack Lab Cafe
Our gift shop is full of science toys, puzzles and everything in between. Perfect for birthday presents and school holiday activities, we have something for all young budding scientists - the not so young ones too. You might even find some edible bugs to take home!
After (or during) your science adventure, take some time out and relax in our Snack Lab Cafe. Our coffee is responsibly sourced, roasted locally from 100% Arabica beans, and tastes amazing! We also have fun snacks to help re-energise you so you can get back to the rest of your day.
We even have special science drinks with beakers and conical flasks that look like real chemistry experiments. Try one out - if you dare!
blue, green and tangerine
The TwistED Science playzone is split in to three main areas: blue, green and tangerine. blue and green are part of the general admissions ticket and can be accesed by all ages. tangerine is a private area designed especially for pre-school children - no big kids allowed!
Cocooned within tangerine is a cosy space especially for tots (under 2s). A well equipped parents room and dedicated pram parking completes the experience.
Take some time out on the platform and enjoy a takeaway coffee from the snack lab cafe. You’ll be close by and have a birds eye view of your little ones as they explore. You are of course welcome to join your children in tangerine and create happy memories of playing together. Play is important for everyone, no matter the age.
Easy Parking and transport
A short drive from South road, down Rowan’s road, you’ll spot the green and black of TwistED Science proudly crowning it’s new home.
We have over one hundred car parks and 4 bus parks on site to make it as easy for you as possible. Once you're parked, it’s time to start your science adventure.
Bus stop 822 (Isabella St/Rowan St) is a 4 minute walk or jump on your bike and travel by clean, green pedal power.
