discovery, science and technology centre
The Discovery Science and Technology Centre in Bendigo is an action-packed, hands-on playground for curious minds, featuring everything from a planetarium and giant marble run to a mega slide and a larger-than-life piano. Kids (and adults!) can explore quirky exhibits like whacky mirrors, the Thong-A-Phone, air-powered ping pong launchers, and the Southern Hemisphere’s tallest vertical slide—a seven-metre drop reaching 30–40 km/h! Little scientists aged 6 and under can enjoy Kaleidoscope, a vibrant, interactive playspace under a giant rainbow. Mamma’s special mentions: don’t miss the Eaglehawk Play Space nearby, and for some summer splash fun, check out Long Gully Splash Park.
