| How To Get To Scienceworks Melbourne |
Public Transport: Your Eco-Friendly Escape Pod
The Trusty Train: Scienceworks beckons via the Werribee or Williamstown lines, alighting at the aptly named Spotswood station. It's a chill 10-minute walk from the station, so you can stretch those thinking muscles. Bonus points for pretending you're a paleontologist on an expedition!
The Speedy Bus: For a lightning-fast journey, hop on the 237 bus from Southern Cross Station/Collins St. This fiery chariot will whoosh you to Sardine St/Lorimer St in about 27 minutes, leaving you extra time to ponder the scientific marvel of traffic lights (or just marvel at the sardines, no judgement).
Car: Your Chariot of Convenience (But Parking Can Be a Beast)
- The Open Road: For those who prefer their own set of wheels, Scienceworks is easily accessible by car. Just be warned, parking can be a bit of a T-Rex trying to fit into a clown car on busy days. So, consider this option if patience is your superpower.
Pro Tip: Check the Scienceworks website for up-to-date info on parking and sneaky tricks to snag a spot (because who doesn't love a good scientific heist... of a parking space?).
Bicycle: For the Eco-Warriors and Lycra Lovers
- The Two-Wheeled Trek: For the fitness fanatics and lycra enthusiasts, Scienceworks is a great cycling destination. There are even designated bicycle parking spots, so you can lock up your trusty steed and avoid the parking drama altogether. Plus, arriving on a bike is a great way to justify that extra slice of cake at the Scienceworks cafe (because science!).
