Have Fun Learning at the Powerhouse
The Powerhouse Museum is Australia’s largest museum, so it’s well worth checking out these school holidays.
It’s often described as a science museum, but once you step inside you’ll realise it’s much more than that. The collection is diverse, with everything from space technology to steam engines, the latest innovations in design and technology, and studies in Australia’s indigenous and European history.
Exciting travelling exhibitions complement the exhaustive permanent displays. More than 250 of them are interactive, which will engage young minds and adults. See holographic images, play with touch screen computers, conduct science experiments, and experience the wonders of virtual reality.
Explore the museums at your own pace or take a highlights tour to learn more. There’s plenty to see, but don’t worry. There’s a courtyard café for when you get peckish, and a state-of-the-art playground to amuse the kids while you relax.
