Mt Gambier
Science Fair
The Mount Gambier Science Fair is designed especially for families with primary school aged children. It is hands-on, interactive and loads of fun.
Hold native animals, get up close and personal with invertebrates and learn from the best with Bugs n Slugs, explore the hands on engineering challenges and make some of your own, take part in a workshop or be entertained by one of our fabulous science shows. You'll see Marty McBubble's fantastic Bubble Show and Nitro Nat's Jaw Dropping Chemistry Show as well as shows from Animals Anonymous. Want more? Well you don't want to miss out on the Virtual Reality experiences from Ignite VR and you'll definitely want to keep the family inspired with Christmas gifts from Switched on Kids.
If you've got a child that loves all things science and technology, imagine the possibilities! It's bound to be their "best day ever"! And we've got you covered too, with coffee and catering available.
