Canberra is home to some of Australia’s most impressive museums, exploring everything from art and culture to Australia’s social and war history. If science and technology museums happen to be your personal favorite, Questacon deserves a spot on your bucket list for more reasons than one.
Interactive Exhibits
Questacon aka the National Science and Technology Centre is best known for being home to 200 interactive exhibits. It features eight galleries, exploring everything from space exploration to geology and ancient mythology, but you can also find a science theatre and performance spaces on its premises.
Museum for All Ages
Questacon’s main goal is to inspire kids to love science, but visitors of all ages are welcome here. If you’re visiting Canberra with your entire family, this museum should be one of the first spots on your itinerary because all generations, both old and new, will find something fun behind its doors.
Stunning Architecture
Speaking of doors, you don’t even have to step inside Questacon to be impressed by it. The building that serves as its home is one of Canberra’s marvels of modern architecture, and it will wow you with its white walls, glass panels, and several modern sculptures in its science garden.
