Discovery Science & Technology Centre
A family-friendly science center beside the railway station, with more than 100 hands-on exhibits, a planetarium and a nearly vertical four-storey slide.
Discovery Science and Technology Centre is housed in an old warehouse beside Bendigo railway station. It has more than 100 hands-on exhibits covering physics, the human body, space and other topics, along with a small planetarium. Kids love the high-speed slide, which is almost vertical. Admission is about 15–20 Australian dollars, and it gets crowded during school holidays. It suits families, and a visit takes about 2 hours.
