Welcome to Measure Island, a fictional land filled with monuments and statues built by a long-lost civilisation. This is not your usual island: on Measure Island every step takes you to a new puzzle or exhibit waiting to be explored.

Test the speed and accuracy of your throw, get your heart racing and measure your heart beat while viewing something scary, and watch a ‘diamond’ disappear before your eyes.

Join our characters Archy and his dog Cubit, as you discover how you use measurements in your world. Each exhibit explores topics related to measurement, such as time, length, volume, density, buoyancy, temperature, speed and more.

This exhibition celebrates the often hidden world of measurement and will make you think about measurement in a new and fun way. What makes a good measurement, why do our measurement systems exist and what are some of the usual and unusual measurement techniques in our world? There is a lot more to measurement than you might have previously thought.

With exciting hands-on exhibits, this is one island you won’t want to miss visiting.

Entry to Measure Island is free, with Sciencentre Admission.

*Closed Good Friday, Christmas Day & Boxing Day. Open from 1:30 pm on ANZAC Day.
