    I am sorry to say this place is a complete waste of time and money. I paid over $60 for my 81 year old mother and I to sit and watch my 10 year old basically play in a large play centre. And yes we did actively participate. However our interest disappeared after about 10 minutes due to boredom. There was limited/no written information or facts on the so-called "science" of any of the activities or areas. The advertised "eat a bug" experience was nowhere to be seen (which is frankly pretty appalling to think about from a humanitarium and environmental perspective-admire the bugs in the display then eat them!) After paying the exorbitant entrance fee we were stung with a further $10 for a 5 minute "climbing" experience. Outrageous. Some of the hand sanitizer was empty which was a side issue but added to the disappointment and dismay of the whole experience. This place was likened to Scienceworks which frankly is an insult to actual Science. I would recommend completely avoiding this place. I gave it one star as I was unable to rate it any lower.

    We brought our 3 year old here with his younger brother and they were both engaged with things to do. As parents, we also had a blast and loved the activities. The 0-4 space is great and a safe little environment. It great having a space like this, in the Area. High recommend!

    This was probably the best kids activity I have done in years. Good for all ages, I had an 18 month, 5 year old and 11 year old and all three were engaged and happy the entire time. Great price with a family ticket and I loved that we got to just explore for our whole session without any specific structure or order to the activities. We could go back to the things we loved and spread out so all kids could spend time on what they wanted. Even with a toddler the session was stress free, nothing dangerous, plenty of space to run around and bright and engaging activities. I wish we had one closer so I could go again! Honestly cannot fault this fun family activity. Thankyou.

    A fantastic experience! Our 7yo had an absolute ball, and enjoyed all the excellent stations set up. The staff were also especially lovely and helpful. Highly recommend - even if they do get your child to eat a bug!

    A great place for kids to enjoy. I only wish that the scientific concepts were explained a bit to help children understand the science behind the experiments. My absolute favourite was the colour changing sand landscape building exhibit. Edited to add - the owner has informed me that there are QR codes placed near the exhibits to explain the scientific concepts and it also includes challenges. I must have missed it. Updating my rating as well.

    Twisted is a fantastic attention to Echuca for families! And as a primary STEM teacher, I highly recommend it for school excursions! If only my school was closer! So many hands on opportunities for kids and adults to learn about many areas of science. It's set up so children can explore and learn for themselves without the science being explained to them first. Then make sure you scan the QR codes for more information about the science behind the tasks, and instructions for the challenges. There is a fun, interactive climbing wall, opportunities to hold a stick insect or lizard, a cafe, workshops (at certain times) and friendly staff. I highly recommend TwistED as a place for your next trip to Echuca!

    Issac from Twisted Science went above and beyond to provide entertainment for 15 x 2-5yrs olds. Not only were they willing to travel to Bunnaloo (30kms north of Moama), they did it for free due to a very special cause to celebrate the return of a dear 4yr old friend who’s been battling a brain tumour. Can’t thank twisted science enough for their generosity and kindness to put a smile on a special person’s face. It was truely special, thank you.

    The kids had a fantastic time experiencing all the wacky and wonderful science experiences. Will definitely be returning

    Fun place to spend a few hours. I would say best for 6-10 year olds, but my 11 and 12 year old enjoyed it also.

    Took our 2 girls to Twisted Science Echuca. Extremely disappointed. Over priced for what it is. The place was messy, paper and balls all over the floor. No staff to guide you through the place, it was basically just work it out for yourself. After 30 mins we were ready to leave. The kids got bored very quickly, the only things of interest was the magnetic wall and the pipes where you pit the balls in. We will not be returning anytime soon.

    Moorabbin center looks much better than the Echuca one. Echuca was very disappointing, we got bored & left. No staff interacting with kids for any activities like what you see in the Moorabbin fb posts, other than the eat a bug try. We got bored & left. Our kids ranged from 6-9yo. Expensive for adults to enter, with very little to do. Even the free photo booth didn't send thru our photos. We used 2 different email addresses & neither of us got photos. Another disappointment. Extra $10 for 5mins for kids to use the climbing wall - are you serious after what you charge for entry. We went on a weekday but in school holidays - so you would expect staff to have some activities & interactions - but nothing. Won't be going back to Echuca Twisted.

    We had the best time. Emma was incredible. So engaging, funny and educational. Will be recommending to everyone as long as she works there.

    My son had an absolute blast here. He was running between exhibits with his mouth open in wonder. So many educational activities to help him understand basic physics and engineering.

    The 1.5 hour session absolutely flew by, our boys were entertained from the minute they arrived- they absolutely loved it!!! We have been to Echuca many times and never been- cant wait to go again! Great value for money!!

    We went with our daughter and grandsons and we all had a great time. Highly recommend this place to visit. We even ate some bugs... and got a sticker for it. An awesome morning and the next day our grandsons wanted to go back.

    Very good place for kids to hang out. The activities were fun to do, even adults enjoyed it thoroughly. Kids had a good time playing and learning while exploring the things around.

  • 5/5 Crystal B. 1 year ago on Google
    Last minute activity as it was pouring with rain. Took my three year old and she absolutely loved it! Even though it’s a small space, there is more than enough activities to occupy all ages and it is highly interactive. The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. Next time we’re in town we’ll definitely be back!
