Discovery is a science centre dedicated to making STEM fun, inclusive, and accessible for everyone. Established in 1995 as Australia’s first regional science centre, we’re a not-for-profit, registered charity, and social enterprise housed in a historic Railway Goods Shed in the heart of Bendigo. Today, Discovery is home to hands-on exhibits, daily science experiences, school programs, events, and a growing outreach program that reaches regional and rural communities. We are a community hub, an education partner, and a place where curiosity, play, and lifelong learning come to life for visitors of all ages.
