Questacon - The National Science & Technology Centre right here in Canberra!

Officially opened on 23 November, 1988, Questacon - The National Science and Technology Centre is visited by thousands of children and adults each year. The Centre aims to promote a heightened understanding of science and technology within the community. To achieve its aim of promoting greater understanding and awareness of science and technology, Questacon is committed to making an experience with science and technology fun, educational and interactive.

Put Questacon - The National Science and Technology Centre, high on your list, especially if you're travelling with kids. But no matter what age you are, you'll be fascinated by the 'please touch' exhibits. Questacon is the only place in Australia where you can free fall for six metres and take the whole family on a virtual roller coaster ride. Questacon is known by kids throughout Australia as the place where science and technology comes to life. Visitors have fun with hands-on science exhibits on a journey of discovery through 6 different exhibition galleries. Science drama unfolds in the theatre every day too.

Experience an earthquake, see lightning made before your eyes, understand the science of tornadoes, throwing a ball or making a telephone call. There are more than 200 exhibits and they're changing all the time so, even if you've been here before, Questacon warrants a repeat visit.
