"A fantastic kids’ museum with activities for children of all ages! There are plenty of hands-on exhibits that keep kids engaged and entertained for hours. The science section, in particular, is fascinating—educational and fun, even for the grown-ups! However, it can get very busy during public holidays, so plan your visit accordingly to avoid crowds. Overall, it’s a great place for a family day out, and the kids love it. Highly recommend!"

"Visited during a weekday. There were many school groups but it wasn't over crowded. Our one and a half year old had an amazing time! We played until she was too tired and we had to go home. We stayed for almost 3 hours and hadn't done everything. Some areas were a little busy at times but we found a quieter area and then came back when there weren't as many bigger kids."
