BEST PLACE EVER!!
LOVED THIS PLACE!!! So interactive, and the shows were extremely entertaining. My 4 year old actually asked to go back a second time during our 2 week stay in Perth because she just loved it all. Parents can also be involved in the activities or there is a section at the front of SciTech just for the little ones to have fun. Highly recommend going to see the puppet show and the SoCool shows that they have on, the scientists are extremely passionate about their subject and encourage questions.

Cool but needs robot material and suits for children to wear during experiments
Scitech is a really cool place. I have to say, I really like almost everything about this place. I likes the playgrounds, experiments, safety measures and the planet trophy looking thing (Planetarium). When I went here I had lots of fun and satisfaction for the things I learnt at this place. I went here not once but twice, but both experiences are nearly the same. It is not without flaws though. The experiments could be quite scary and harmful to little kids but it was good education. For some reason, when I was here for both the occasions, the place felt robot looking and was quite dark. A few things could be added to Scitech to make it better. You could create a huge map of the whole building, add some extra and better games, make the experiments less scary, lower the time spent in the Planetarium and make the Scitech excursions slightly longer in terms of time. Along with those normal changes mentioned just above, I also think that Scitech should include a robot related place in the building with robot like games and even wearable robot suit costumes for extra experiments and fun which are optional for adults but mandatory for children who visit Scitech as an excursion. I recommend robot suits for children to wear during a robot section so that the kids who wear them could have more interest with learning about robotic technology. The robot suits would be worn for 30 minutes and are then taken off when the experiments and games are done. Cool place overall. I recommend to anyone who want to learn space like things.
