Questacon–The National Science and Technology Centre Reviews

Awesome place to take the whole family for a day out, heaps of fun for all.

It's a fun day out for the family. Plenty of things to do in several rooms. They cater for little ones too with a room downstairs for them -You book a timeslot for this. There's something for big kids and little kids, and adults too. We go about once per year and a lot stays the same, but there are changes each time too. The kids often do the same things again, but that's part of reinforcing the concepts on offer, and they probably get a fresh perspective on them each time. We always have fun. The last few times we've been we've run into people who do something selfish while we're there, though. Whether in the car park or the interactive robot near the exit. There's a little cafe there, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. It's worth a visit.

Fantastic place in Canberra, lots of fun for the whole family

Bit pricey but excellent venue. A must if you are visiting canberra. Excelleny for yhe kids.

Great place for kids of all ages and can easily spend a whole day there. Cafe can get a little busy

Fantastic fun STEM activities for kids of all ages.

Questacon is still really enjoyable as an Adult. The balloon experiment show was really interactive and fun.

A great way to learn about the world, great for families

Spectacular museum of science and technology. Fun and learning. We need a whole day to participate in everything.

This place was real value for money. $70 for a family of 5. 2 adults and 3 children. We got here at 10am and left at 4:30pm closes at 5pm. Has alot of levels to look around and kids will be occupied all day. Has alot of toilets and is real easy to find which is great when you've got 3 children. Has sanitizer in every room. Was really enjoyable.

Great science experience for kids when in Canberra.

My wife and I (sans children) enjoyed a fantastic day here playing and learning. Whilst it may be considered a children's destination I can assure knowledge hunger adults will enjoy it just as much.

Amazing Museum. Ome of the best science museum I have been. It is very interactive, heaps of good information and shows for the kids.
I love the new structure in rooms so each room is for a different topic.
A good robotic exhibition.
Highly recommended it.

Good hands on, but always too many kids for a proper go. Kids don't take the time to read and do the Science activities properly that's why The Science shows are perfect! Brilliantly done.

Great place for family with with curious kids. Great variety of activities and things to see and interact. Educational & entertaining

Great fun for the whole family my nieces and Sister loved it ;-)

Love this place!! The staff was incredibly nice and helpful!! Third time here and will be back again

Fantastic place for kids and those who enjoy science. Great exhibits and knowledgeable staff. Gets way too crowded. They need crowd control!!! Maybe a bigger venue. Food queues are intense.

One of my fav. museums in canberra, especially when young people are in tow. One novelty here is the design of the building, where you start upstairs and slowly wind your way down through the exhibits.

Exhibits cater for all interest, with fascinatong displays for all and anyone. I personally think the Periodic Table which was really the periodic cupboard, showed where each chemical was used. Also interesting to see the doffeeent animal eyes in the corridor.

Go have a look!

Awesome place for kids. 2nd time for my son, this time at 11, last time at 8 and he lived it both times. Even the parents can learn some things.

Wow, the grandkids thoroughly enjoyed themselves and so did we.

Mission to Mars was extremely well done for 3 to 5 year olds (and their grownups)

Love Questacon! We were wishing for a little more time, but very well done given the current circumstances.

Always a great option with kids, especially in the unpredictable Canberra weather!

Excellent , great learning experience for students and adults

Exciting exhibition and good opportunity for children to be active

Really good place. Can spend a whole day. Children loved it!

Must visit place if you visit ACT. fantastic for kids

Gone here ever since I was three and I absoultey love this place. Everything's interactive and super fun! (even for the big kids). And for the little kids Mini Q is brilliant. Super great place to get your childs imagination flowing, they can be a baker, vet or even an astronaut. Once you've finished looking at the gallaries, you head around to the cafe for some yummy (though a bit pricey) food, or you can buy some cool science merchandise at the shop.

Nice place for kids to visit..we spent 4 hours but you can easily spend the entire day here...

Great fun for the kids and family, the cafe is decent too.

I feel that the rooms could flow a little better, I think our kids missed some exhibits because everything is scattered but that's more of an observation than a complaint.

The 0-6 year old play area is great as well if you have little little ones.

This is a perfect day out for people with or without kids. It has 7 levels and each level is just as engaging. Even if the child is not old enough to understand electricity and magnetism or force, it's still a lot of learning exposure with so much fun because of the different ways in which concepts are explained , illustrated with real life phenomena and simulations. I haven't seen a museum that engaging so far.

Lots to do and plenty of staff around to assist with exhibits and explanations. Not that great for 2-3 yr olds as some of the sounds will be too loud. Great for 4+ yr olds! Cafe has a decent selection of food too!

Can't like Questacon enough! Our family has the annual pass and we make use of it. With over 6 floors of exhibitions and the 'Mini Q' area for little people, it is top of our list for things to do on the weekend.

Great place for kids. The downstairs area is great for 2.5 year olds. The upper area less so. Coffee and cake available and lots of parking

Great place for the kids my niece and nephew loved it.

Great place to spend a few hours. Overpriced admission and parking though.

Great technology invention and amazing solar objects to explore.

Fantastic day out for the young and young at heart. Incredible fun whilst learning at the same time

This is a must visit place in Canberra to have a great time playing and learning from the natural science world while seeing the things that can totally amaze you.

Awesome place to take kids, easily for a whole day's activities

Great place to spend a day in Canberra, especially with kids. Caters to all ages, there's something for everyone. Very accessible layout, and you can get reciprocal entry from membership in a number of other science museums around the country (the website has more info).

Rude staff regarding pre booked tours. We made a mistake but in the pouring rain with a baby the staff could he a bit more.compassionate or at least let us dry him/us off first before leaving

Kids love coming here. The membership is great and we visit almost monthly.

Very friendly staff. Catered for sensory issues amazingly.

We thought our 7 year old would last an hour!! 4 hours later we had to drag him out! He/We loved it.

Unsuccessful launch of balloons due to weather conditions. Australia.

Great place for kids. Mini-q great for the little ones. Got reciprocal rights for Melbourne Museums membership which is great.

It gave me Herpes and I couldn't be happier :) Great educational location with attractions for all ages

Fun science stuff for all ages! You need to watch the shows at the Japan Theatre. We've been to a Rocket propulsion themed show by a young funny Kazakh scientist. He's awesome and the kids loved him.

Three hours of total enlightening experience for kids and adults alike. Ample parking. Great exhibits with some hi tech ones. Every inch has something to offer in terms of learning. Don't miss q lab. Cafe for the famished if you are willing to spend a few bucks more but certainly worth it. Make sure you take your young ones there and avail great family deals.

The best place to spend some excellent fun times with kids big and small! Inspires imagination every time.

A fantastic place for the kids to explore and experiment with a vast range of interactive activities. Things for both kids and adults. Be prepared to spend the day there. Lots to see and do.

Excellent place for science education to youngsters

went with my bestfriend Cassie, she got ate by the robot. rip
