25.01.2022 Look it's a whole bunch of excited families coming our way! Yes, we're opening again! We can't wait to welcome you for that awesome family fun that we all need right now. We're beavering away behind the scenes to get everything running smoothly, and to that end our online bookings will be back up soon. Our capacity is still limited to 20 people, so maybe think about booking ahead for the busy Christmas period. ... Watch this space and we'll let you know all the details tomorrow.

24.01.2022 What's your solution for Saturday?

24.01.2022 Lots of fun today with Guthrie St Primary. Crazy numbers of flying contraptions being tested on our wind table. Thanks for visiting team!

23.01.2022 Our lizards have happily adjusted to their new home here at TwistED! We cant wait to introduce you to them when we re-open. What kind of pets do you have in your home? Or wildlife around your area? ... #twistedscience #science #play #familyfun #scienceforkids #stem #sciencefun #instascience #reptile #lizardsofinstagram #experienceechucamoama

22.01.2022 Our booking system is currently down. If you would like to book please phone us on 1300 984 823 - sorry for any inconvenience :)

20.01.2022 We made a song by editing science exhibits together. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch

20.01.2022 POW! We get to use our science superpowers again!! That's right - from this Sunday the 15th of November we are open for you to come and have some awesome family fun - Thursdays to Sundays from 10am-4pm.. Our numbers are still very limited, so book online to make sure you have your spot (booking button on our FB Page).... We are working hard to give you peace of mind during your visit so we carry out a deep clean between every session. We also ask if you are going to take on our mighty AR climbing wall (pictured) bring your own close toed shoes and socks! We do ask that you help us by doing the following: - wear a mask (everyone 12 years and over) - sanitise prior to entry (we’ve got everything set up for you) - use our contactless sign in on arrival we’re sure everyone is used to using QR codes on their phones by now! - please don’t come if you have a fever, cough, runny nose, chills, sore throat, shortness of breath or loss of sense of smell. What exhibit are you looking forward to having a go at first? See more

20.01.2022 This handsome ‘Magnetic Metal Head’ has come to be Twisted Science Moorabbin. We can’t wait to have you making faces and playing frisbees with it! http://bit.ly/twistedmoorabbin

19.01.2022 Curious faces - wondering what’s going on in our minibeasts little homes and in our busy observation beehive; and then just wondering when all those balls are going to come raining down!

14.01.2022 How good are these sounds of delight? Thanks so much to all the schools that have returned to bring the fun these last two weeks.

12.01.2022 Bring your runners! Our visitors tell us that he Augmented reality climbing wall is one of the best things they did while they were here, so don't miss out! Due to COVID safe procedures, you'll need to bring your own closed toe shoes (makes climbing heaps more comfortable). It's easy to forget in our lovely warm summer temperatures.... But we promise you won't regret it!! Photo by Pat Kwon on Unsplash

12.01.2022 Have you ever walked past our building and been curious about what goes on inside? Sitting at my desk with a view of the front door, I see so many people squish their face up to the glass to try and figure out what's goes on in here. The trouble is, our gear isn't for looking at. It's for testing out, creating, sharing and designing. It's for playing with and playing on, and playing against.... Now's the time to delve into the cool stuff we have here at TwistED. Now is the time to support your local small businesses. And now is a great time to get back into the world and discover something new! Because you never know, you just might find your curiosity rewarded! (BTW, don't squish your face on the window - just knock and we'll show you the inside!)

11.01.2022 Who's that watching over you? Our tots space is cool and inviting for little ones and their parents or carers. bring in your favourite cool drink and relax in airconditioned comfort or join in the play. If you're planning to get out of the crazy heat coming up, we recommend booking in advance - booking link on our page

10.01.2022 Thumbs up for the weekend! Saturday is going to be super hot - so get in now and book your spot for some airconditioned fun!

08.01.2022 Say what? It's Australian Pollinator Week people! Get excited! Bees are the obvious pollinator of choice for so many of our food crops. If you've visited us here at TwistED Science, you'll know we love our observation beehive filled with very busy honey bees - but commercial honey bees like ours are not locals. They are European honeybees.... About 1500 species of bee are native to Australia and come in many colours and shapes. Many are stingless, but many also live on their own and don’t make large quantities of honey. Our native bees are great pollinators - just like the introduced species - but they are particularly important for Australia’s unique wildflowers and bushland. I'd highly recommend finding a YouTube video on how to build a native bee hotel and giving it a crack this weekend to say thankyou to these little dynamos. Comment below if you find a good one...

07.01.2022 Feedback like this just makes our hearts glow Thanks Isabel - and to answer your question, yes we like bubbles very much! Even more, we like sharing our bubble science with keen beans like you. We hope you had fun making more bubbles at home.

06.01.2022 Christmas is coming! If you want to give something that creates a year round family experience (and that doesn't involve packaging!) then consider a Family Membership to TwistED Science. It's amazing value at only $99 for a years unlimited entry to our hands on science centre, for up to 2 adults and 4 children.... You can upgrade your membership and add climbing wall sessions for everyone for $129. (That's a climb every time you visit and no, that's not a typo!). To purchase just pop in during open hours or give us a call on 1300 98 48 23 and we'll get you sorted! Svetlana Sidorenko on Unsplash

06.01.2022 We all know lightning strikes can be destructive, but did you know they can also make new things? Fulgurite is the product of electricity (such as a lightning bolt) hitting sand or soil. When mixed with extreme heat, the two melt together and create a tree-like hollow tube of glass. You may see these at a beach if you dig into the sand. Also referred to as 'fossil lightning', scientists say these can be found all over the world and are a beautiful feature to spot on your b...each holiday. Have you ever seen fulgurite before? #storm #twistedscience #didyouknow #sciencefact #interesting #amazing #fact #nature #awesome

05.01.2022 Ooh the suspense... Echuca Primary students showed off some clever programming skills today in our Robotics workshop - and as you can see, the results were super satisfying... Our kids are growing up with these skills - which are the future of work. Anyone else feeling like they might need to learn a programming language?

02.01.2022 A massive thank you for choosing Twisted Science to be a part of Luke’s Birthday. Our parties are a real blast where the birthday child gets to launch a water rocket in to the beyond! Twisted Science parties tick all the boxes and come with presenters trained to provide the maximum amount of fun while still keeping everything under control. Fun and science all in one party! The kids may even learn a thing or two.... Get in touch with us if you see a birthday party theme or experiment you like and would like it to be tailored to suit an event you had in mind. https://bit.ly/travellingparties

02.01.2022 Not really - we're open for fun! It's such a relief to be able to open and to be able to start to rebuild our business. Now that we are allowed to reopen, and we're one state again, we are looking forward to getting back to what we all do best. Here at TwistED Science, we are proud to provide a uniquely fun experience that families can enjoy together whatever their age.... What are you looking forward to rebuilding now we're "nearly" back to normal? Or are you starting something from scratch?

02.01.2022 Ha ha you think - she's actually lost it! But no! Researchers have recently discovered that when we see colour, our neurons fire in a specific pattern, depending on what colour we are looking at. They measured these patterns in our brain activity, using magnetoencephalography (MEG) which maps our brain activity with magnetic fields. ... (Interestingly, when we look at warm colours like red, brown and yellow there is a lot more brain activity than when we see cool colours - green and blue.) So researchers found that just by looking at these magnetic field shapes in our brain, they could predict what colour a person was looking at. Ultimately this research may help us to understand how we turn our sensory data - what we see, hear, smell etc - into perceptions and thoughts, and then actions. There's still so much to discover about why we do what we do! What would you try to figure out next?
