National Science Week
This August, Canberra Centre is bringing science to life with a series of interactive and inspiring experiences for all ages. Across two weekends, Science in the Centres will transform Centre Court into a hub of discovery, curiosity and hands-on learning.
Whether you're a budding scientist, curious mind or simply looking for a fun and educational outing for the family, join us and explore everything from deep space to robotics, reptiles and more.
