The gravity discovery centre has something for everyone, from astronomy to Astrophysics and indigenous culture to biodiversity. There is always something new to learn at the GDC. Recreate a 300-year-old experiment from atop the leaning tower, explore the history of the universe in our cosmology gallery, take a walk through the wildflowers and discover the rich biodiversity of the region, or get hands on with some of the fundamental forces of in our discovery gallery. Spending a night under the stars with our astronomers at the GDC observatory is an experience you will never forget. Observe planets, clusters, galaxies and nebulae as our talented staff take you on a journey throughout the cosmos.

a month agoA really nice, interactive, medium size science centre. The staff are friendly and helpful. And eager to explain the stuff there. We enjoyed the leaning tower doing Galileo experiment with water balloons. Must visit if you are in the area.

a week agoThe team rectified my mistake of arriving at the wrong observatory and fit us in for the night tour. We had a really great time, very well educated and informative staff. Super passionate and knowledgeable, everyone could answer the many questions we had. Thanks so much! Ps. Hayden is hilarious, a great fit for the job

6 months agoA short drive from Perth the Gravity Centre is a great alternative to the SciTech experience. The interactive school holiday rocket making workshop was great. Kids loved it and the presenter was awesome. We ended up spending a few hours seeing and touching the different interactive science displays. Lots of great potential for little Einstein's to get lost in the many different displays.

a year agoGreat place to show kids some magics of science & a brief on the universe. $52 family 2 adult & 1 kid. Please check price details and allow yourself about 4 hours. Full day and group visit should be great. Please contact before group arrival, so that you will not miss anything. Try a good sunny day. We missed the tower view and experiment because of cloudy weather.

a year agoWe took our 2 young boys (3 and 6) and everyone had a brilliant day out. We honestly thought we'd be there for maybe an hour, ended up staying for about 3. There was a great half hour round trip walk to check out the miniature solar system (outdoor walk, ~1km each way), the climb up the gravity tower to drop the water balloons, lots of displays showing off space and our planet (a bit more interesting for the adults) and heap of interactive displays for the kids to play with. It's located close to Gingin and well worth a full day out.
