Lonely Planet review for Scienceworks & Melbourne Planetarium

Scienceworks & Melbourne Planetarium incorporates three historic buildings and keeps inquisitive grey matter occupied with interactive displays. Figure out the mysteries of the universe (or your own anatomy) by poking buttons, pulling levers, lifting flaps and learning all sorts of weird facts. The planetarium splashes the universe onto a 16m-domed ceiling.

    Fun day out for the child within

    drifting_adam recommends this,

    I went here specifically for the Star Wars exhibition in 2009 and really enjoyed it. Lots of hands on experiments and interactive displays. The general museum is interesting too. Kids love it, and so do adults who are young (and curious) at heart.

    Can completely see why the previous post didn't enjoy it - if you can't read the displays at all it would be a confusing place.

    I wouldn't recommend it for children who don't speak English

    bec_100 does not recommend this,

    I took my non-english speaking nephew there and he did have fun, but it would have been a much better experience if he knew English. It ended up with him getting a bit bored by the end.
