Hands-On Exhibits And Shows
Scitech is built around active participation, with more than 100 hands-on exhibits rather than a traditional look-only museum format.
A standard all-day ticket includes the planetarium, scheduled science and puppet theatre programs and the current feature exhibition. Check the session board when you arrive so timed programs do not clash.
Who It Suits And How Long To Allow
It works best for families and visitors who enjoy experimenting, building, testing and asking questions. Younger children can use the hands-on spaces with close supervision; interest matters more than a fixed age cut-off.
A half day is a practical starting point. Allow longer if the planetarium, theatre programs and feature exhibition are all part of your plan.
Food, Prams And Access
Scitech is wheelchair and pram accessible. Packed lunches are welcome, vending machines are available and nearby City West cafes provide alternatives; there is no permanent cafe inside.
School holidays can be busy. Online booking guarantees entry when a particular day matters.
Getting There
City West Station is directly across the road from Scitech, making the final walk short and straightforward.
Use the official visitor page for the current parking option if you are driving.
