Australia might be best known for its exotic wildlife and beautiful landscapes, but you can explore its more scientific and technological side at Questacon. More than 200 interactive exhibits show you physics, chemistry, and engineering in action. Discover how a whirlwind of air and mist make things move at the Jellyfish Vortex. Test your response to visual stimuli and your hand-eye coordination at Batak. Although the museum aims most of its exhibits at kids, it entertains and educates visitors of all ages. Before you head to Canberra, plan trip itinerary details with our user-friendly Canberra trip itinerary builder tool, to make sure you see all that Canberra has to offer, including Questacon.

You would run out of superlatives trying to describe this place. Staff were great and you basically start at the top and work your way from gallery to gallery as you descend. Do not miss the liquid...

Awesome interactive fun for the kids. Parking is good and you can do the whole thing in under 3 hours. We got in early just before the school excursions started and it went pretty smoothly. There’s a sensory play area for 0-6 years which my daughter loved. Great day out!!

Without doubt a must see if you have curious kids or you yourself have that childish curiosity. Offering fun and quirky exhibits that encourages you to learn and play. Our kid loved the approach by the museum including the lightning exhibit and the earthquake ride and the cloud vortex and the various mirrors.
