Create an itinerary including Questacon
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.

    I really wanted to revisit this place again after my botched visit in primary school I’m glad I got to do it in my own time It was great fun

    Questacon has always been one of my favourite places to visit in Canberra. However, there have been very few updates over the years. Given the entry fees, it's starting to look tired.
