Questacon

Questacon, in Canberra’s Parliamentary Zone, offers interactive and hands-on experiences in themed galleries. Perfect for self-guided exploration, the galleries encourage discovery and curiosity as students explore the science behind our world. Students are encouraged to ask questions while interacting with exhibits.

Self-guided gallery experience

During a 2-hour session, students travel from the centre of an earthquake, to the heart of a beehive, all the way to outer space! The Awesome Earth exhibition highlights the mighty power and stunning beauty of our planet and the universe in which we live. Q Lab offers a dynamic experimental environment that inspires students to ask questions and discover answers with their classmates.

Evening experiences

Choose from a session starting at 5 pm or 7 pm, and spark your students’ curiosity!

A visit to the Questacon Shop is included as part of the Q by Night experience.

Admission fees apply and bookings are essential.

Q by Night bookings require a minimum of 45 students for standard charging, otherwise additional charges apply.
