Exhibitions & Shows
SideShow has left Questacon to make way for our new exhibition, Excite@Q, opening 14 March 2012. SideShow's roller coaster simulator, Track Attack, has been retired after 12 long years of faithful service. Free Fall, our 6.7 metre slide is staying to be part of Excite@Q.
In addition to our Special Events, we have lots of great exhibitions free with your paid Questacon admission.
