BONUS - Trains Leaving! Exploring the Cross River Rail Experience Centre

We've got a raily good idea to get your school holidays on track, with a visit to the Cross River Rail Experience Centre.It's a great spot for the kids these holidays as it's free to visit!Cross River Rail is one of Brisbane's biggest civil infrastructure projects, with a new underground rail line through the CBD and a number of new stations - including one at Albert Street in the CBD, just a stones throw from where Alfie is dropped off for his first day at work in The Quiet Game.We dropped in to check out the Experience Centre, which is an immersive and interactive educational experience.Not only can kids learn about the project but they can learn about science, engineering, history and they'll learn a bit about Brisbane as well. The centre is really much more than just a visitor centre; it’s a true experience in every sense of the word, with virtual reality stations, a maker space, a 270 degree wrap around theatre and touch screens galore.We spoke to Russell Vine, who is the Executive Director, Marketing and Communications for Cross River Rail and is a wealth of knowledge about the project and the Experience Centre.Make sure you check out their events page for all the school holiday activities, as some activities, although free, require booking.The Cross River Rail Experience is located at 1/151 Elizabeth Street, just across from the Wintergarden Food Court.Entry is free and there is an elevator and wheelchair accessibility throughout the Experience Centre.
