School Holiday Fun

Boasting ten state of the art activity pods, a day at DreamCity gives you a fully interactive and hands-on experience with the actual equipment / technology used by professionals and experts in that field. Practice the skills related to a range of different careers all while having an awesomely fun time.

AVIATOR

This is where you’ll learn about the physics behind how planes fly, including the use of a wind tunnel. Then… off to flight school in our flight simulators! You’ll learn about lift, drag, thrust and the terminology of the flight control equipment, such as ‘yoke’, ‘bank left/right’, ‘pitch up/down’ and how to control their plane.

VIRTUAL
REALITY

Here’s your chance to be transported to a virtual world, where you will be encouraged to design your own personal oasis in Google Tiltbrush or navigate your way through First Steps. Learn a little about what makes VR unique, and its possibilities for the future.

SPORTS SCIENCE

The Sports Science Academy tests more than athletic prowess. It’s collecting and analysing data, calculating percentages and averages! Measure the trajectory and accuracy of your free throw in the swish zone. Record your speed, agility, power and reaction time with the blaze pods! Right arm or Left?

MEDIA PODCAST
