Opening early November 2025, this immersive experience brings together science, industry, and community to explore the technologies shaping our sustainable energy future. From hydrogen and wind to solar, wave, and gravity power, the Energy Futures Zone showcases the breakthroughs, ideas, and people driving the global energy transition - and how we can all play a part.
Designed for all ages, this interactive science exhibition will inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators while spotlighting Australian achievements in clean and renewable energy. It’s where research meets real-world impact, celebrating local innovation and supporting the development of future STEM skills and energy careers.
What you'll experience:
- Hands-on exhibits: Around 25 new interactive installations, let visitors experiment with cutting-edge energy technologies.
- Renewed favourites: Six existing Science Space exhibits are being reimagined to integrate seamlessly with the new zone.
- Insight into innovation: Discover the latest developments in clean energy research and learn how scientists and industry partners are powering change.
- STEM & career pathways: See how science and technology education connect directly to energy and sustainability industries.
- Community connection: Designed for families, schools, students, and lifelong learners, the Energy Futures Zone turns complex concepts into curiosity-fuelled, hands-on experiences.
The Energy Futures Zone is proudly supported by the Australian Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, whose funding has made this significant new addition to Science Space possible.
