CSIRO Discovery Centre
The CSIRO Discovery Centre offers an interactive journey through CSIRO and Australian science history. It is one of Canberra’s major attractions and is definitely worth adding to your list of things to do when you visit the city. The attraction presents science in an entertaining way to demystify it, and educate kids and adults of all ages about the fascinating world of research and innovation.
The exhibition is self-guided and allows visitors to immerse themselves in stories of Australian research and its value to society. A highlight of visiting Discovery is viewing the 3D movie exploring the latest in CSIRO and Australian science and research. The centre opened in May 2000.
An onsite cafe is situated adjacent to the Discovery Centre.
