Questacon

Questacon - The National Science and Technology Centre was officially opened on 23 November, 1988. Based in Canberra, the Nation's capital, Questacon is Australia's leading interactive science and technology Centre.

To achieve its aim of promoting greater understanding and awareness of science and technology within the community, Questacon is committed to making an experience with science and technology fun, educational and interactive. Questacon has over 200 exhibits and approximately 300 000 people visit the Centre in Canberra each year.

Free-fall down a six metre slide, experience an earthquake or challenge a robot to a game of air hockey. Little scientists and their carers will enjoy Mini Q as they play, discover and learn in a gallery just for 0-6 year olds. And no visit is complete without watching—or starring in—a Spectacular Science Show. With over 200 interactive exhibits to explore in eight galleries, at Questacon you'll discover the smarter way to have fun.
