The latest attraction for kids from 18 months – 8 years is KidsStop at the Science Centre. They have an impressive gamut of activities which promotes experiential learning with a lot of fun!

I waited for the initial excitement to die down before taking the kids so that it wouldn’t be so packed. We went after school on a Friday and it was perfect as the place was not crowded at all. Kate and #5 had a whale of a time there as there is just so much to explore.

Uh-oh. The two pilots ran off, along with the outfits. Oh well, we can make-believe just as well without the uniforms.
 |
| “You are my co-pilot. Must listen to my instructions ok?” “OK, gor gor!” |
 |
| #5 finds our anatomy very amusing |
 |
| Blasting off into space together. So long! |
 |
| Everyone wants to touch the chick |
We learnt how to tell the gender of the chicks. The females have a brown marking while the males are yellowish white in colour.

| “Worm!” (She doesn’t know about millipedes yet) |
#5 gave me a run down on hermit crabs – on how they ‘borrow’ shells, and about mud skippers. I didn’t know he knew so much about science!

After more than 2 hours of playing, Kate was ready to call it a day.

| “Playing is such back-breaking work!” |
Sane tip: Don’t forget to bring socks as some of the areas require socks to enter. They do very thorough health checks on the kids at the entrance so getting in takes a little while. You can purchase tickets either from the main Science Centre entrance or at KidsSTOP itself.

It’s $30 for a year and you need to bring along a passport photo and a copy of the child’s birthcert. Benefits of membership: 1 free admission for the child and accompanying adult. Subsequently, 30% discount off entry fees. Full benefits here.
