Finding Scitech

Scitech is in the City West Centre in West Perth, on the corner of Railway Street and Sutherland Street at the western edge of the city centre.

• By train: City West station is the nearest; plan your journey with Transperth.
• By car: paid parking at City West is limited; buy a five-hour ticket from the machines inside the City West Centre and note your number plate.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• An accessible toilet on the first floor.
• Pram parking near Discoverland.
• The City Views eating area, with tables and a water fountain.
• Two cafés in the City West Centre; Scitech itself has no café.

Allow two to three hours, and bring a packed lunch. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

Scitech’s galleries and shows are wheelchair accessible, with a lift from the car park to the first-floor Admissions desk and an accessible toilet on the first floor. Prams are welcome everywhere except the theatres, service animals are welcome, and live captioning can be requested in the Science Theatre and the planetarium.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask Scitech staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Explore Scitech thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Give everyone a turn at the exhibits, follow staff guidance and keep food and drink to the City Views eating area.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care keeps the exhibits working and the galleries pleasant for everyone.

Make time for a pause

Scitech has no café, so bring a packed lunch to the City Views eating area, which has tables, a water fountain and vending machines. The City West Centre has two cafés.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Bring a reusable bottle: there is a water fountain in the City Views eating area.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: go to the Admissions desk on the first floor and show your ticket there.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow two to three hours, and check the planetarium and theatre show times when you arrive.
