Due to popular demand, Scienceworks has announced the extension of the family-favourite exhibition, Air Playground, until January 27, 2025.
Since launching in December 2023, Air Playground has proved to be one of Scienceworks most popular attractions, captivating visitors with 12 interactive and engaging experiences that transform complex scientific concepts into fun, hands-on learning opportunities.
These include: squish – a full-body experience grappling with a colossal, tentacled inflatable sculpture; flow – a dreamy breeze-filled wonderland where soft fabric tubes and floating balls demonstrate the magic of airflow redirection, and fly – an aerodynamic extravaganza where participants can craft and launch their own paper planes.
Among new features added to Air Playground’s 600 square-metre space is an improved squish bouncy castle and an interactive wind exhibit that allows visitors to explore the science of air by throwing scarves through a tangle of air tubes, then try and catch them as they float to the ground.
Museums Victoria director and chief executive Lynley Crosswell said she was thrilled to give visitors more time to experience the exhibition.
“Air Playground continues to thrive because of our in-house expertise in creating hands-on interactive experiences, immersive spaces and sensory learning opportunities,” Ms Crosswell said.
“Air Playground inspires young minds and provides families with STEM-filled adventures that spark interest in the STEM learning pathways of the future.”
