ELS Universal English CollegeAugust 18, 2011This is the coolest museum ever! There are so many different sections to explore and much of the museum is interactive so you have a great time here. Admission is only $10. Happy times ahead :)- Sarah AdhamDecember 9, 2013You have to buy the tickets online as they do not have the ticket counters in the museum. Nevertheless, the tour was awesome
Jen StarJune 15, 2019They've really done a great job revamping and living up to its new title of Applies Sciences. Part Questacon, part science museum, part art and history museum.
Arkady BApril 22, 2018Aussie tech museum build by techs brought by Britain, US, Japan and USSR. Does not worth to visit if u are 15 years old and older. Most of things have nothing about technology at all.
James FergusonJune 21, 2021Fairly large museum with changing exhibitions located in the old Powerhouse. Worth checking what’s on ahead of time.
Yat Fai OoiApril 2, 2014Easily spend 3-4 hours at the museum. Plenty of cool exhibits that even adults would find interesting

Paola NuaroJune 6, 2015Interesting exhibition of underwear. And permanent exhibition really cool for kids :)
Alex TorranceFebruary 13, 2014Fantastic museum of science and design. Needs a bit of brushing up (will tell you about that) but some great stuff here.
Bronwyn OrsattiNovember 9, 2011Really disappointed with my visit today. I was saddened to find Zoe's House gone & 'replaced' with the Wiggles. Instead of a fun inclusive play my son with autism was overwhelmed & scared. #epicfail
Bradley HarrisonMay 5, 2011Check to see what exhibits are on and when. Sometimes there is a crossover and quite a bit can be closed. It can leave a bad taste in your wallet!
Take a tour if the museum's size is intimidating. You'll get shown the best bits and so you can double-back to check them out.
Mohamed GaafarJuly 28, 2012it was really a nice experience .. you should visit it if you are going to Sydney :)
Katanya ShanzyMarch 29, 2010take at least half a day here, my only regret was only spending a few hours with the kids, so much to see and explorer- Zoe's play area is a must with young kids Read more

Mitch MitchellFebruary 11, 2013If you're a tourist visiting Sydney for a few days, you can skip it unless it's raining and you can't find anything else to keep your kids busy.
Hendra WongMarch 13, 2010Go to Powerhouse Museum. Enjoy all the exhibits from Victorian era until the 80's. Do not miss the giant steam locomotive train near the entrance. Instant journey to the past.
Paul HaytonFebruary 21, 2012Check out the Strasburg Clock at the rear of the building as you enter the building.
The popular Zoe's House has now closed. Keep an eye out for new activities for young children.

Check out the simulated Mars landscape where they test the next generation of rovers.
Susan EnnersMarch 25, 2012New Wiggles exhibit now open but not same location as Zoe's Place. No prams in wiggles exhibit, even if you have a sleeping baby.- Dave HolmesJanuary 8, 2012Coffee ? - Don't get it here, it's crap. Grab one from one of the many quality cafés nearby
