Reviews
"At the base of this building is a Science discovery centre, which is fun to look through. However, it would be good if exhibits changed from time to time."
"Sorry CSIRO, we tried to visit the Discovery Centre but couldn't find a parking spot. Despite arriving 15 minutes before the opening time, there wasn't a spot to be found. Drove around the site for a while looking without success. Could you suggest a public transport method if we want to try again?"
"Only open for 2hrs/day, and be aware there is an admission fee applied for entry, $10/adult, $6/kid or $30/family, outside sign is misleading about their opening and close time, limit parking spots, unexpected small space, limited activities inside, both "press button and see" are not working at all??? Not really worth it. Very disappointed!!"
"We bring our science students here to subject specific workshops. CSIRO will map outcomes to the curriculum. Staff are helpful & know their stuff. Students have all been engaged in learning experiences. Recommend the robotics & DNA workshops. Different workshops targeted to different age groups"
"A modern hands on discovery centre with Lots of great STEM activities to explore, themed around CSIRO projects. A small gift shop. Nice coffee shop on the first floor. There is an elevator to go down to the discovery centre if you can't use the stairs."
