But if you’re looking to escape the madness of the mall or for an excuse to get the kids out of the house, Museum of the Riverina has you covered.
Questacon’s Fascinating Science exhibition is on show at the museum’s Historic Council Chambers site, with an array of interactive puzzles and experiments that are challenging and fun for kids and grownups alike.
The exhibits deal with human perception, physiology and balance.
Expect spooky optical illusions and mind-bending puzzles that will challenge and entertain.
It’s a short walk from the art gallery and library, and it’s free!
So why not take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to give the family a fun, rewarding and educational experience during the summer break.
Questacon’s Fascinating Science is on exhibition until January 28 at Museum of the Riverina’s Historic Council Chambers site, corner Baylis and Morrow streets.
Nestled among the trees up Lord Baden Powell drive you’ll find Museum of the Riverina’s Botanic Gardens site.
There your kids can lose themselves in a world of dress-ups, puzzles, puppets, books, games and activities.
Kidzone is a dedicated discovery space for children aged 0-12.
There are activities to help children explore, inquire and have fun - all while learning about our wonderful region.
Baby change facilities are available on site, and there's plenty for adults to see and do while the kids explore Kidzone.
These include the Sporting Hall of Fame and exhibitions about Wagga's early days, soldier settlers and the region's agricultural and natural history.
Feel free to bring a picnic lunch and have it on the balcony or enjoy the short walk to Wagga's Botanic Gardens (five minutes) and zoo (ten minutes) to extend the adventure into the great outdoors!
Both sites of Museum of the Riverina are open every day except Christmas Day and Mondays.
Location and opening hours are at www.museumriverina.com.au.
