SparkLab

Be a scientist

Ignite your imagination in SparkLab, an interactive science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) space, ideal for 6- to 13-year-olds!

Explore 40 interactive exhibits across three zones and discover the wonder of STEM in your everyday world! See live experiments at the Science Bar and get hands-on to create and solve challenges at the Maker Space.

Follow your curiosity and bring out your inner scientist as you question, investigate and wonder about the world around you.

Play and investigate your way through SparkLab, using many of the same skills that scientists, engineers and mathematicians use every day.

  • Explore your curiosity as you play with the exhibits.
  • Ask questions, test out your ideas and make observations of what is happening.
  • Design, build and make using your imagination.
  • Share your thinking with others and build on new ideas and questions.

Visitor numbers to SparkLab are strictly limited to ensure a safe space and to increase access, so you can get the most out of your visit. We highly recommend you purchase tickets online in advance, particularly during the school holiday peak period, to avoid disappointment.

Little Sparks – Under 5s
