Have an Unbe-leaf-able Autumn School Holiday At Scienceworks!

This year they’re exploring Earth’s most precious resource, water! And to celebrate this mysterious resource’s importance in our lives they’ve lined up live, interactive shows, a curious scavenger hunt and plenty of other fun-tastic activities!

Let’s get into it!

6. Pumping Station tours

This guided tour will take you through the old Pumping Station as you see the straining wells and listen to stories of old Melbourne, Victorian engineering feats and fascinating things about sewerage.

Pumping Station Tours are available every day and run for thirty minutes. However, do note that the tours are sometimes closed for private events so it would be best to check Scienework’s What’s On Page first to see if tours are running.
