About
The Sciencentre is an interactive science museum at 110 George Street in Brisbane, Queensland. It is also known as the Queensland Museum Sciencentre, and it sits in the city centre, which makes it easy to reach on foot or by public transport from elsewhere in Brisbane.
What you will find
The museum is built around hands-on exhibits rather than displays to look at from behind a rope. Visitors can explore four broad areas of science:
- Physics, with exhibits that let you test how forces, motion and energy behave
- Chemistry, showing how substances react and change
- Biology, introducing the living world and how it works
- Technology, looking at how science is applied in everyday tools and systems
Because so much of the experience depends on doing rather than reading, a visit suits people who learn by trying things out.
Who it suits
The Sciencentre is well matched to families with children, who can move from one exhibit to the next at their own pace. It is also designed for school groups, and teachers planning a science excursion will find it a practical option in the city. Adults with curiosity about how the world works will find plenty to engage with as well.
