Going Places: The Technology of Transport

Ready to take the controls? Going Places: The Technology of Transport is an exciting interactive exhibition where visitors can climb aboard, take the wheel, and experience the science behind the many ways we travel. Created by Scitech in Perth, Australia, and produced by Imagine, this family-friendly exhibition encourages visitors to learn by doing.

Designed for visitors of all ages, Going Places explores the fascinating technology humans have developed to overcome obstacles such as gravity, distance, wind, water, and changing landscapes. Through hands-on activities and engaging challenges, you’ll discover how transportation has shaped our world—and where it may take us in the future.

Become the driver, pilot, or captain as you experience transportation in exciting new ways. Fly an airplane using a flight simulator, ride a hovercraft, race a recumbent bicycle, and explore many other interactive exhibits that bring science and engineering to life.

Featuring 16 hands-on exhibits and six educational information kiosks, Going Places demonstrates the ingenuity, creativity, and innovation behind the transportation systems we rely on every day. Along the way, visitors will gain a greater understanding of the forces of nature—including gravity, friction, wind, waves, and currents—and the remarkable technologies developed to overcome them.  Whether you’re a budding engineer, a curious student, or simply looking for a fun family outing, Going Places offers an exciting experience that combines science, technology, problem-solving, and play.

Come explore, experiment, and discover where Going Places will take you!
