We saw a massive sign saying "2 hours free parking" yet when we returned to our car they had put a fine on our dash with the time only being 15 minutes after we arrived.

Scitech is simply superb for kids of all ages! My children had a great time exploring, and even toddlers would find plenty to enjoy. The interactive activities are both fun and educational. We especially loved the chemistry experiment – the way it was presented and explained was excellent. The planets show was also fascinating and very informative. Highly recommend for a family day out!

Science Discovery Center - great place for the kids to hang out and learn about science. Staff are friendly and welcoming. They have pop up science shows every half hour or so, where the staff perform experiments to illustrate science concepts. They make it fun for the kids. Worth a visit!
