Phenomena Factory is Australia’s newest and most exciting interactive science centre, located at Launceston’s Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, the largest regional museum and art gallery in the country.

Phenomena Factory is the result of a successful partnership between Rio Tinto Alcan and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, with generous support from the Tasmanian State Government and Launceston City Council. The objective of the partnership is to encourage the community to explore and engage with science and technology.

Entry to Phenomena Factory is free, providing free hands-on, minds-on, curiosity-on science education for kids of all ages. The centre includes over 30 permanent exhibits with regularly changing programs and displays.
Fire your own EX-1 Rocket, challenge yourself in the Perception Tunnel, or test your reactions while you touch, switch, pull and crank your way around the Factory, actively learning about science along the way.
 

Phenomena Factory offers a range of exciting experiences for students and teachers, including exclusive educational and school holiday programs, in a flexible and fun learning environment.
