discovery day...


We headed over to the Uni at the weekend, to check out the new Early Start Discovery centre. Oh my goodness, so freaking excited this has been opened here, it was amaaaazing!


Finally got to push the shopping trolley - life's ambition ticked off hahahaha


Dress the kiddos in play clothes because there are awesome messy crafts to be had!

Some of the installations were clearly geared for older kids - my 3 year old niece adored the Cave (complete with torches and little animals) and the Shipyard.


Lovely outdoor area (totally fenced - winning!) with water play tables and pumps, even a sunscreen station!


Free fruit for the kiddos and half price coffee at the cafe for parents - two big thumbs up.

It's not cheap, at $15/person including children. We ended up buying an annual pass for $90 for E and I, and they deducted the cost of our tickets from the membership which we thought was fantastic.

We will absolutely head back again next weekend. Will be a real winner on a rainy winters day!
xoxo

  2. Thanks for the tip- off! We'll be taking the grandchildren there for sure, I hadn't known about this.
    They just love the science centre, so this will be perfect.
    ( You might remember, I met you in the pool at Beaton Park a few months ago!)

  4. That looks fantastic! Was there much for older children (e.g. 6)? It might be a good school holiday activity.

    1. Hi Sarah, there is definitely a lot there for older children as well, much of it is a bit too advanced for Evie and would be great for a preschool or school age child - there are always older kids there. Definitely check it out xx
