Mr. Robbins added that the center has maintained a strong focus on practical learning for children, which is why their performances are always encouraged people to physically interact with them.
After experiencing the number of & # 39; displays seen on Saturday, which sprawled outside the building in bright sunshine, many visitors found their way towards the center of the path of large spiral & # 39; Questacon.
The new and captivating exhibition & # 39; Questacon is a replica shutdown of the moon, the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere. It measures seven & # 39; m in diameter and is suspended over a dark room where visitors share & # 39; down and take the wonder of the surface of the moon.

Mr Bucknell, from Los Angeles, was holidaying with his family in Australia and decided to check the holidays.
"The number of & # 39; & # 39 museums, really good quality worldwide is low", said Mr Bucknell.
"It was a really highly rated and we were not disappointed.
"All exhibits are really linked together and is great for adults and children. '
