Questacon
Questacon - The National Science & Technology Centre is Australia's leading hands-on science and technology centre. Over 200 interactive exhibits fill six galleries where visitors of all ages can enjoy a full day of adventure and exploration.
Permanent and changing displays and blockbuster exhibitions show how science and technology affect our everyday lives. You can experience an earthquake, watch a lightning display, balance a ball in mid air and make music with light beams.
Each year, more than 1 million people enjoy the Centre's exhibitions and programs. Some exhibitions and programs are now travelling beyond Australia into Asia, the Pacific and other parts of the world.
The Centre was opened on 23 November 1988 and is located on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin in the Parliamentary Triangle next to The National Library of Australia and the International Flag Display.
