Bendigo Discovery Centre

Discovery Science & Technology Centre, Bendigo

Give your kids a whole new perspective this winter.

With over 100 interactive exhibits to explore, you won't know what to try first at Discovery:

· plummet down the southern hemisphere’s tallest vertical slide

· be guided through the cosmos in the Bendigo Planetarium

· see the world from a new perspective in the Coliban Water Ames Room

For the young scientist under eight, check out Kaleidoscope. Special science and planetarium shows are available during school holidays.

Special V/Line Offers

With a V/Line ticket you’ll receive one free child entry for every full paying adult.

Why not make a day of it in Bendigo this winter? Your V/Line ticket also gives you discounts on the ‘Talking’ tram tour and at the Central Deborah Goldmine.

We recommend travelling during off-peak times – there will be more seats and it’s cheaper than travelling at peak times.

Getting there

Bendigo is approximately 2 hours by train from Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station.

Along the way, you can take in the scenery of Melbourne’s outskirts, Victorian towns and great country vistas.

Conveniently, Discovery is located right next door to the Bendigo Railway Station at 7 Railway Place.

Remember, your V/Line ticket also includes free travel on the Bendigo Transit Service, if you decide to explore Bendigo while you’re there. If you’re travelling from a metropolitan station, you’ll also get included travel on trams, trains and buses. See V/Line ticket is also a Metcard for more details.
