Questacon, the National Science and Technology Centre, is currently hosting an exhibition. It is guaranteed to be a massive hit with the children. Get ready for Questacon Presents: ZAP! CLANK! POW!
Think science is boring? Think again! This is a highly interactive, hands-on adventure into the exciting world of magnets, machines, and motion. Kids are encouraged to explore 17 different exhibits where they become the scientists themselves. For instance, they can get stuck into a gooey exploration by marveling at fascinating magnetic slime. How cool is that?
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Children can literally get a handle on simple physics as they play with pulleys. Furthermore, they can unleash their inner inventor by crafting various flying contraptions! The whole exhibition is a vibrant, noisy, and wonderfully messy way to learn. It focuses on fundamental forces, electricity, and simple machines.
This adventure is truly perfect for the whole family. While the primary school-aged kids will be thrilled, the exhibits are designed to surprise and engage visitors of all ages. You’ll find yourself just as captivated as your little ones! It’s an ideal way to spend a morning or afternoon together, making memories and learning something shocking (literally!) along the way.
Whether you are a family lucky enough to call Canberra home, or if you are planning a wonderful ACT getaway, ensure this is included. This electrifying exhibition is only running until February 2026 before it powers down for good. Don’t miss your chance to ZAP! CLANK! POW! your way through the centre before it’s too late!
It is a must-do Canberra experience that promises big smiles and maybe even a few future engineers.
