Inspire Discovery Centre is billed as being for kids, but when you arrive you'll be encouraged to get hands on and enjoy yourself too. The centre aims to make simple scientific principles clear and fun for kids of all ages to understand, by letting you loose on a wide array of interactive exhibits that feel like toys even as they educate you. It's suitable for small kids (we took a 20 month toddler and he LOVED it - after 2 hours of getting stuck in to everything he was exhausted but still didn't want to leave) and bigger kids too - there's annotation for every exhibit that they can read to see the science behind the fun.
You can park your pram, let your kids guide themselves around, and keep an eye on them easily; the large open plan space makes it very child friendly.
This venue is apparently to close this year, but it's not for lack of quality. It's reasonably priced so go along and support a unique local attraction.
