What's up for kids this month
WHAT’S NEW
Science Fun
There’s a lot going on at the Science Centre, with three new
exhibitions just opened.
Exploring Nature’s Design
runs until
24 August and includes a robot zoo of giant mechanical animals
and a make-your-own-creations tinkering space. The
Human
Body Experience
is a journey through the five main body
systems, complete with special effects, that starts with a climb
into the mouth of a six-metre-high face. And for littlies aged up to
eight years,
KidSTOP
opened last month with custom-designed
science perfect for enquiring minds. Over at
Snow City
, a new
290-square-metre wall known as The Cliff will challenge climbing
and abseiling enthusiasts.

PLAY
AT
ROCHESTER
Open again after a total makeover, the popular
Rochester Play Café
retains
its reputation as the go-to place for fun, games and learning experiences. At
weekly classes, mums can put their feet
up (or get hands-on) as kids get stuck into
puppet-making, yoga, balloon sculpting and
terrarium-making. There are five themed
indoor and outdoor play areas and a bistro
serving top food, coffee and weekend
brunch. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to
8pm.
7 Rochester Park. Call 6773 1312.

looking at schooling options in the UK. If
you don’t know where to start, check out

offer unbiased advice on UK education from
nursery to university, as well as a mentoring or
guardianship service for children once they reach the UK. Head to the
