NEW Year’s Eve at Bendigo’s very own science and technology centre is guaranteed to be a day and evening of fun for the whole family with STEM shows full of explosions and surprises, captivating planetarium sessions, and a treasure hunt sure to keep the little tackers engaged.<\/p>\n

The Bendigo Discovery Centre at 7 Railway Place (adjacent to the train station car park) will be open from 10am with the usual school holiday activities, then from 5pm things will go up a notch with a bubble science show, dance party and face painting.<\/p>\n

The festivities will conclude in time to head towards town for the New Year’s Eve early fireworks display at 9pm.<\/p>\n

Discovery’s general manager Alissa Van Soest said the idea of the event is to give families with primary-aged kids something fun to do on what has traditionally been a somewhat idle evening for the young ones.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes it’s tricky to know what to do to keep kids busy all the way through to the fireworks,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Since we’re right in town, people can park up here and wander down to the fireworks. It’s a lovely little walk from Discovery, and parking is a lot easier than around the (CBD).”<\/p>\n

Stem & Sparkles \u2013 NYE at Bendigo Discovery Centre takes place on Tuesday 31 December from 10am to 8.30pm.<\/p>\n

Further information is available on the centre’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
