If you’re taking the kids out to play, consider a visit to the Australian National Science and Technology Center. Honestly, it’s eye-opening! We can attest that it’s an amazing technology museum!
The entire museum has 3-4 floors, it’s spacious inside, divided into eight areas, and offers various free shows, including a glimpse of a gigantic moon. Babies who love nature and science can easily spend a whole day there.
