Questacon–The National Science and Technology Centre Reviews

Great for kids and adults, plenty to do and see. A bit expensive but still a must do in Canberra

Questacon is such a great place to visit, not only for children but also for young adults and people in their mid twenties! thank you to the member of staff who served us on Australia Day around 2.30pm; he was super friendly, considerate and polite and had a big smile on his face

Loved this place as a kid, fast forward 15yrs and I thoroughly enjoyed showing my son the many activities and exhibits...Spent over 5hrs exploring each and every level, enjoyed lunch in the cafe although it was pricey and over crowded it was school holidays after all. We will be back

Great for kids (and young at heart) mixing fun and education, with plenty of hands on displays...... the bezt way to learn

Always fun! Worn out my little man energy... had good sleep after all. Full of knowledge though!!

Very good place to visit but make sure its not when the school are there as the children can be rude pushy and obnoxious

It was a great layout and lots of activities for various ages. The vertical drop was particularly cool and worthwhile. It was great having the xylophones outside and the bubble making guy was super cool. Didn t spend as long as would have hoped, best to go when it s less crowded so the kiddies can have more time with activities

Excellent for all ages, interactivr exhibitions are included

Excellent for children, though a victim of its own popularity, it was very, very crowded.

Amazing for kids and adults. Very interactive. I would highly recommend multiple visits to questacon

Brilliant for people of all ages, Very interactive, Very impressive!

Definitely worth a visit; lots of things to learn and suitable for all ages.

We had a great time here! We have smaller children so they loved area 6 with the playground, sensory play and water play area! We didn't try the cafe but bought some little goodies from the gift shop! Lockers were handy to store our nappy bag! Was great fun for our children and us big adults!

If you want to go to a place full off annoying kids that are sneezing everywhere, along with all of their germs. This is the place for you.
Would of enjoyed this place a bit more if it wasn t so crowded.

12 out of 10. Fantastic day for the kids and the oldies.

Pretty cool but pricey. Drop the entry fee and I'd give it 5

I love science... if only school made it this interesting

A must if you are in Canberra, kids "old" and young had a great time

This is the best place for kids in Canberra .lots of informative stuffs .kids can learn a lot of stuffs from here

The place to see once you are in Canberra. They have some great things if interest for kids and adults. Good for about 3hrs.

Well priced and much worth to take the membership.
Great place for even the youngest < 1yr old.

Great day out for the whole family. Lots of interactive displays that change regularly.

A great place to visit with the kids. Our little 7 year old loved it. There is lots to see so if you going plan a full day there. The entry fee was not too bad for the amount of stuff you get to see and play with. The cafe had reasonable prices and ok food, about on par for this type of venue. The exhibits are really interactive and are a great way to help the kids (and adults) learn all about the science around us. I highly recommend a visit.

Great tactile exhibits for kids of all ages. You can't help. It learn something. The tilting sand table that I walked past (a large ball bearing makes patterns as it rolls through the sand) was a beautiful highlight for me.

Have always loved questacon. There's something for everyone. We have been taking our daughter since she was 6 months old to the mini Q area and are now loving the exhibits.

The rare kind of exhibition,and very interesting physics show

Great day out for kids of all ages, including adults! Suggest a minimum of 3 hours, otherwise you won't get to half the activities.

Took my 10yo son. So good we went twice in two days

Great place to go for an afternoon of fun. The exhibits aren't necessarily childish and adults can have a pretty good time too. Look forward to the free fall slide at the end of the trip! It's a bit pricey so make sure to have your Student ID if you have one.

Great family day out. Kids and adults entertained all day. If you get a chance, see the liquid nitrogen show!

Wonderful place for kids to learn science and have fun.

was closed and had paid for parking $7 to be told we cant go in. what a rort

A great place to take kids of all ages, with plenty to interest adults too. This is the most educational and fun attraction of its kind I have visited and well worth a day or annual pass. It has added a lot of new elements in the last 6 months so consider visiting again.

As a visitor from the US I was highly impressed by this interactive science museum which really caters to kids, while being fun and educational. We spent the entire day and did not finish everything. My kids had a lot of fun and did not even realize that they were learning!. Highly recommend!

My inner child was loving it, but there were quite a few exhibits out of order. Something that I assume will probably be fixed.

Great for the little kids and the big kids too! So many fun things to look at and touch and experiment with. Kids are encouraged to explore and get involved. Lots of parking and an amazing view.

Plenty of interesting science with hands on interaction.

Great place. Restricted tickets make it even better.

Somewhat limited after recently returning from C-19 restrictions. Staff did a good job, given their limitations. 2 hrs is probably enough time to visit each Gallery. The Earthquake platform
Is still cool. Shame they didn t have the ball throwing speed radar.

Fantastic place for families. Very good facilities, nice dining area with good food and attractive membership for frequent visitors. Friendly staff completes the picture.

Great experience for the kids... I must admit I was a little bored by the end.
Seemed very repetitious

If you're tired of museums where you can't touch anything, here's a place for you.

Interaction is recommended and encouraged.

You'll learn alot and much to do. Easily you can spend the whole afternoon lost in discovery and education, but not realising it.

Take your friends, children, parents and dates.

Don't miss out.

Wasn't the same as it used to be sadly, amazing for children but unfortunately it lost its touch for older people. Amazing show though "mummified" educational and engaging for all ages!

Great fun. So much to do. Easily spend the day here

Fantastic experience at Questacon. Keeps you engaged for a whole day with various galleries and interesting expeditions

fun but boring when you're dragged there by your school.

Always a fun time. We got the annual pass and have used it often. My children love seeing the lightning and Mini Q is a hit with my youngest!

Must visit attraction. Suitable for all ages. Always something interesting to see.

Amazing place, full money's worth. Kids had a great time

Busy day with lots of action and activities.Kids from 13 to 5 all well catered for.

Questacon brings back a lot of fond memories when I last visited 14 years ago. Recently re-visited here, and I was quite sad! A few things that used to be there were either removed or renovated. :( but don t let this change your thoughts about visiting. There s a lot of scientific and geographic things to explore and read on - either for your little ones to gain further knowledge, or even yourself. Would definitely recommend if you re visiting Canberra.

Best place to entertain kids and adults..Watch all the shows and give.about 4 hours for scientific fun. Free fall is a must

An awesome place for adults and kids. Highly recommended!

Awesome fun and educational facility. The shows were fun and engaging too

Great museum to capture the imagination. Lots of interactive exhibits that make science less of a mystery

What an absolute blast this is to attend with your children. There are so many displays and hands on activities you can easily spend a whole day there. Taking a break to watch the moon rotating in the main hall was a relaxing pause. The water play and role play rooms were very well attended and the science demonstration desk a big hit. Go early and have some time before it gets peak busy. Though this seems to be one of the higher cost places to visit make the most of it and have a science experience day.
