Six themed zones - Construction, Emergency Services, Antarctic Research Vessel, CreARTivity, The Pod, and Discovery Garden - plus free lockers and an onsite cafe. Rated 4.8 from 843 reviews.
๐ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children from newborn to around age 8. Twins, mixed-age groups, and first visits all work - the zones are genuinely varied and staff explain everything on arrival. Local families report returning repeatedly, so a membership pays off fast if you live within driving range of Wollongong.

โWe love the Discovery Space! My son always has the best time and asks to go regularly. Each section has a different theme all with its own interactive experience which makes it fun and exciting for the kids, my son's favourites are the supermarket with the trolleys, the emergency vehicle and the ship! Everything is constantly kept clean by the staff who also engage with the kids and are always so friendly and welcoming. I like that you have the option of bringing in your own food that you can eat in one of their outdoor areas or you can get something to eat at the cafe located next door (their food and freshly squeezed juices are amazing). You can pay a one off entry fee or purchase a yearly membership, I am now going to buy a membership for my son and I as we go so often.โ

โWow! I can see what all the rave was about. We took our energiser bunny twins and they frothed over every part. From camping to sand pits to light shows and models trains to grocery shopping and more! And to top it off, the food was amazing for quality and quantity. Great selection for parents and kids. Freshly squeezed juices. Would recommend.โ

โBrilliant creative and fun place for children up to the age 8/9. All the activities are included in the entry tix and there are free lockers inside for your bags. Cafe onsite or bring your own lunch. Lots of art plus imaginative play. Gorgeous outside play area as well. Hours of enriching fun. Definitely recommend.โ
