Absolutely worth visiting whether you’re a science enthusiast or someone who simply enjoys a great interactive experience. It’s fantastic for families with children, but just as enjoyable for adults visiting on their own. Questacon is packed with hands-on exhibits, fun activities, and engaging experiences that can easily keep you entertained for an entire day. One of the best parts is that your admission ticket gives you all-day access, so there's time to explore eveything at ease. A must-visit attraction for anyone visiting Canberra. Highly recommended!.

An absolute gem! We arrived at 10:30am and left at 5pm! There is lots to see and do for all ages! All staff were friendly and helpful and really engaging with children. Our favorite with the nitrogen show with Annabelle and room 6! A must do for anyone with small and big explorers in the family. The cafe had good food. All facilities were clean.

Levels on levels on levels of interactive hands on fun for the kids (and adults too) so plan on spending at least 3-4 hours discovering & playtime. Highlights for us Illuminate level, Awesome Earth level with the earthquake room & electrical lightning cage, the drop slide & speed ball challenge. The Mini Q for the little ones is absolutely fabulous, such a great design on all levels of sensory, climbing, water & pretend play fun. Staff onsite were so welcoming & helpful, very knowledgeable & genuinely enjoyed hosting for your benefit - great energy.
