Explore the science behind the carnival.

Ever wondered what the trick is to winning the giant teddy at your favourite sideshow alley game? It might surprise you, but the answer lies in science.

Carnival of Science goes behind the scenes to explore the physics, biology and psychology of the sideshow – without losing the magic of the carnival!

Try your luck navigating the maze of mirrors or try the strength tester. Like a human cannonball, launch yourself head first into the weird and often wacky world of the carnival!

We love receiving comments, but can’t always respond.

Is here any family pass/ticket for the show? just to plan the time for the rest of the day, in how many hrs approximately we can finish watching the carnival?

Hi Solomon,

You should allow an hour to view Carnival of Science, and we don’t offer a family ticket as it’s cheaper to buy them individually. Adults are $16 each including the general museum, kids are $4.50, and concession card holders are $5.

We hope you enjoy the exhibition.

I am wondering about the age level that the Science Carnival targets?

Hi Pamela,

The Carnival of Science is aimed towards children from the ages of 6 to 12.
