Sciencentre - Queensland Museum South Bank
The Sciencentre at the Queensland Museum South Bank is always an educational and interesting way to spend a day. The 'Whodunit?' exhibition running until the 8th of July, 2012 is loads of fun for children aged 8 and up. A body, a break-in, mysterious fingerprints and a missing white rhino... . Can you solve the crime? The exhibition includes a simulated crime scene and autopsy and is interactive, with hands on activities including fingerprinting and DNA profiling. There are also regular exhibits such as Action Stations -where you can get hands on with everyday science, and Body Zone - where you get to see your body as you've never seen it before. The Sciencentre is a great family fun day, combine it with dinner out and a stay at one of the many luxury hotels in Brisbane and the kids will be in heaven.
