Great experience for primary school aged kids. I would suggest allowing a whole day. (The car parking is for 4 hours, but there are heaps of buses to the national library which is about 100 metres away)

We enjoyed our visit, however did find it quite crowded in most galleries (had to queue for turns for many exhibits). I'd recommend booking to ensure you can enter at the time of your choice. To help with planning time, of the eight galleries, one gallery is dedicated to younger children (age 0 to 6), and the eighth gallery "Under the Moon" only took us a few minutes to go through; the others took more time. (We finished up faster than we thought we would.) Highlights for us were the earthquake simulator, and lightning simulator. We found paid parking easily outside the door (4 hour limit).

Great place for young families to enjoy science in a practical environment. Plenty of hands on activities to keep everyone busy for hours whilst learning. Definitely recommend this for any family trip to Canberra.

It’s a nice place to visit with family but probably they need to review their policies regarding entry time. We entered at 3 pm and centre close by 5 pm . Staff refused our request to enter next day with same ticket. My child was just 7 years and it was hard for him to finish in 2 hours. I think ideally either they should not allow entry or else accept the same ticket .

Well prices for hours of entertainment for the whole family! The fire show was an absolute hit, however all 7 galleries were interesting and hands on. Highly recommend. We spent 3 hours and could have easily spent an additional 30-1 hour.

Questacon is set out extremely well with lots to see and do. The highlight was the fire show with David presenting. He was brilliant, knowledgeable friendly and captivating. We would go again to see him. Well done David!

Amazing place full of activities and learning. We old probably saw half of the things on offer. Kids and adults both really enjoyed it. Was the perfect place to go in a rainy day.

What an amazing place! We spent the whole day here and the kids wanted to stay for longer. Well priced tickets ($70 for family of 4), amazing staff who were all so helpful and passionate about their jobs, so much to see and do there. Had lunch in the cafe which was also reasonably priced. Honestly couldn’t fault the place. Awesome experience for families.

We usually visit Questacon when in Canberra, the kids love the interactive displays. The fee to get in is reasonable and it's great on a hot or rainy day when you just want to be inside. The cafe has pretty limited options and is pricey but the food is not bad. My only wish is that there were different shows in the Japan Theater, they repeat the same show a few times a day - it would be nice to have different ones on the same day as when we were there the show didn't interest our group and was for over 8+ which didn't suit my kids age group so we couldn't attend, they had 3-4 shows but they were all the same one.

WOW, very impressed with Questacon. First time visitors, will definitely be back. The exhibitions are really amazing, so interactive and suitable for all ages. Staff were just lovely and so helpful in every space. They really went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. Very reasonably priced. 10/10 for making learning so much fun!
