Questacon–The National Science and Technology Centre Reviews

We could of stayed here for hours, so much fun for all of the family.

Must visit!! An amzaing learning experience for the kids of all ages. Very interesting and informative.

Very well organised and presented for the pandemic. Staff very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Our family comes here at least once every year and my boy really enjoys it.

4 fun hours with the kids, still haven't done everything so we'll be back.

Amazing experience for kids (and adults) of all ages.

Questacon is great if you've got little ones! Works best when they are 5 and above. Our 3 year old got a bit stroppy but the 5 year old loved it.

Pretty big. Can spend all day in it. Some exhibitions are a little old though. Cafe food is mediocre at the best.

The material is great, very easy to understand for children

Highly recommended place for kids and adults. Informative and hands on fun.

What a fantastic place. Didn't get to see and do everything in the time we had but I'll be back.

This was so much fun - we were a group of adults and we acted like kids. The freefall slide was by far the best attraction.

A great few hours learning and touching things. Worth the visit.

Great well maintained museum for kids. Will go back when we can.

Family day out, was so fun I had as much fun as the kids and learnt a lot also

You learn so much here! I great place for kids to explore the wonder of science. The best part is at the end where you can lay down and watch a projection of stars and a massive blown up moon. Each floor brings a new and interesting type of science. The shows there are amazing too!

Always something of interest for the family, many levels of interesting things for all ages some things you can enjoy watching and there's also a large array of interactive displays too.

I found the experience under COVID rules disappointing. Especially the Science Show that is usually the highlight of our visit. Not only did the guide in the previous room not let us through as he said the show was starting late. It didn't so we missed half the show and the children were in the back row and couldn't see for tall parents sitting in the front blocking our view.
In the words of my 4 year old granddaughter..what was the best part of the 2 hours? The hand sanitiser. Oh and did I mention that although we had membership we still had to pay for tickets and the parking cost over $8.

A must visit location in Canberrafor anyone with kids . Or even without. Seriously, it's excellent to go there without the rug rats.

We did have alot of fun here and there is alot of things to see but i do and see. The exibits are great and very well layed out so easy to navigate around but think there needs to be more staff to police people as parents literally let thier kids run wild and push infront of people to steal whatever theyre looking at. Was at the machine that shows how fast you throw a ball with my toddler and had another kid came over and stole the machine before my daughter even got to throw 1 ball. Another incident we were trying to make bubbles and another kid that was older came over pushing us out of the way and his mum stood there and didnt say a thing. These kinds of things happened quite a few times while we were there and Also only found 1 hand sanitiser that wasnt fully empty. i was quite dissapointed with the way people are just so selfish. I still give 4 stars as i kmow its not all questacons fault but i really do think they can make it alot better by employing extra staff to watch the exibits more.

Excellent and highly recommended for primary and secondary students when you visit Canberra

Great location. The architecture is not in harmony with the great works around. Inside the showroom for children and games is not attractive.

Wonderful displays, enthusiastic volunteers, sensational layout. Interesting displays for kids and adults. Makes science and learning a fun experience for everybody.

When I went to Canberra this was definitely one of my favourite things. The only thing is is that some rooms aren t very good. Gift shop was decently priced but I definitely enjoyed my time their.

Great place to visit but suggest you go outside of school holidays as it was over crowded.

It s a great and fun place for any age! I hate it when a child wants to go to a place that s fun for them but not for the adult but in this case Questicon is fun and exciting for all ages! I especially enjoyed the sensed harp which teaches you the different notes and cords on any instruments you want just with the click of a button you can move your hand around within the harp shape and it will sense you and play that note! Questacon makes learning fun for all ages!

Very interactive and informative. Great for all ages. Can get busy, but still deserves 5 stars

Wonderful place to Kindle young minds. So many interactive objects making science such an interesting thing

Slide was awesome, I learned so much, and it was so FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great science for kida and parents alike with staff who could assist the learning

Great place for kids to learn and explore! Even for just 15 months old XD

Great fun for kids! The 0-6 area is awesome for the little ones.

Really good innovations are there to watch. And also fun games

Excellant activity for kids and adults alike untill evicted due to fire alarm.

Reminded me of when I was a little kid, I felt that as an adult I could appreciate the learning more. Great place for families :)

This place is also known as Science & Technology Museum where plenty of fun and learning activities to keep yourself and children happy and occupied. Loved this place!.

Loved it so much The workers respect each other includs visitors go there i love it there.!!!!!!

Great place to bring children and those young at heart. Learn about the world around us and how it works. Everything is a hands in experience to get you involved and learning about what is going on. Highly reccomemded

Fantastic. I and the kids had a ball getting our nerd on

Questacon is an amazing place to spend the whole day at with your family. The place has so many fascinating exhibits and learning made fun for the kids. Everyone will enjoy the place as adults and children can learn something new.

Great! I loved it. I went with my husband and other family members and thoroughly enjoyed all that they had. Very entertaining for adults and kids.

Great selection of interactive learning stations for kids.

This is a great family day out. Plenty of things to keep the kids and adults occupied.

Questacon makes science fun! There are lots of interactive exhibitions with lovely staff and volunteers always around to explain, help and entertain. There is something for everyone with the mini-Q area that is great for babies to early primary age kids (my kids were sad when they outgrew it and still love visiting this area with their younger cousins), to the excite area which has a gravity drop (experience free falling), the earth quake experiment house and the lightening displays. I really like the new Shed area that regularly changes its theme so you constantly have new constructions to try and build. You can spend hours without even noticing exploring this place. I also highly recommend the regular shows put on by the Excited Particles - they are always high energy fun!

We landed here on a rainy day and it was a perfect way to spend it indoors. Despite the crowds on a weekend, it had a lot of activities and exhibits for all ages .. our 5 year old had fun !

Very interesting, but more for school children, and there was plenty of them there on the day. Food at Cafe was very nice.

Staff is great and experience is good, but some of the coolest galleries are closed due to covid, but you still pay full price. Also, galleries are timed and it feels a bit rushed.

An interactive science museum that will make you feel like a kid again. If you have kids they will love it. A place where you can learn, explore and test knowledge. Very well designed and love love love the moon in the centre. So amazing.

Best place to explore science with kids. Avoid public holidays where possible. Make sure you pay for sufficient parking time so you don't end up having to rush through.

Great hands on experience for young and old. Cafe good choice of food prices ok. $7.50 for a hot dog and chips. You can bring your own and eat outside.

Friendly staff. Lots of hands on activities for the kids.

Really overpriced tickets given its surrounded by free museums, but cheaper than daycare I guess

Ran out of time to see everything. Will definitely be back. Great for "kids" of ALL ages.

Great for kids and families. There's always something interesting to see and some hilarious science shows on offer. Good for people with limited language too, I took my cousin who spoke no English and they had a great time.

It's worth getting a family membership if you plan on going at least twice a year.

As good as everybody says. Great experience for kids. Plenty to keep adults amused as well.

bit upset that they closed 3 of the rooms due to covid and "wanting to get more people through" was good but felt rushed

Did not disappoint. Budget a whole day to see and do everything. The staff were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and helpful. The shows were entertaining and educational- especially the liquid nitrogen show. The exhibits were well designed, interactive, and loads of fun for kids (and adults). It's well laid out, and easy to follow. It's also worth considering membership for the reciprocal entry to places like Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. My kids can't wait to visit again

Great place to bring to kids to learn about the wonders of science.

The night tour was fantastic for our large school group. Super helpful and knowlageble guides.
