Powerhouse Museum

posted by vkettlewell on 9 December 2010 at 10:15

Me, my husband and our kids had a total blast at this museum. More than a science museum, there's great transport stuff which pleased my son and the hands-on experiments were a hit with all of us! I loved the Strasburg Clock Model, I can't believe all the detail was done just from a pamphlet!

where, when, how, web
500 Harris Street, rail Exhibition or monorail Paddy's Market, or a reasonable walk past the exhibition centre from Darling Harbour

Bay Area Discovery Museum

My kids, 7 and 5 had such an awesome time here. Thre;s so much for them to do inside and out that they kept saying they wanted to come back! The wave workshop was the top hit and I'm glad because I love to see my kids learning and playing at the same time.

A family holiday to Vegas might not seem like a great way to spend the holidays but actually the kids respond so well to all the bright lights just seeing them is a treat! This science museum was right up their street, as they love anything they can get involved with.

Two Oceans Aquarium

Brass Rubbing Centre

posted by triplecrown on 25 August 2009 at 19:22

This is an unusual way to spend some time surrounded by ancient history. The building dates back to the 1400s and it is fun for all ages, although very young kids will not get as much history out of it.

Brass Rubbing Centre and Trinity Apse Address: Trinity Apse, Chalmers Close, Royal Mile, Edinburgh EH1 1SS
