🔎 Science Space is the only dedicated immersive science experience in NSW, and KidsWish are excited to partner with them to offer this fantastic opportunity to the children and families we support. Home to Australia’s most digitally advanced Planetarium, children will be treated to an intergalactic experience where they will journey through the universe visiting planets, galaxies and more 🪐 With over 90 interactive exhibits and a science theatre with live science shows, children will have fun exploring and learning all about science.
