Homeschool Days at Science Space

Wednesdays starting mid 2022
Science Space is excited to launch dedicated STEM enrichment days for the Illawarra homeschool community and beyond in 2022!  We are pleased to announce we will now be holding special, exclusive Homeschool Days once a term on a Wednesday morning when we are closed to the general public. Families will have the opportunity to enjoy interactive shows, take part in an educator-led STEM experience and have free time to explore the exhibitions.

Who we are

Science Space first opened in 1989 as the 'Science Centre and Planetarium.' Located in the old migrant building just north of the current location, Science Space has grown to become the #1 indoor attraction in the Illawarra. Science Space is founded upon the principles of education, hands-on learning and accessibility. Existing to advocate the value of science and technology and increase general science literacy, we house over 90 interactive exhibits, Science Shows, Workshops and NSW's most digitially advanced Planetarium.
