Spectacular Science Shows
No visit to Questacon is complete without watching (and participating in!) a presentation by our theatre troupe The Excited Particles.
You'll learn about dinosaurs, tsunamis, explosions, balloons... performed from a repertoire of more than a dozen shows. The schedule changes daily so chances are you’ll see something new every time you visit.
Our Spectacular Science Shows are right for kids of all ages. For the short set, check out a puppet show!
Spectacular Science Shows
Our Spectacular Science Shows are free with your paid Questacon admission and are presented at various times most days. Each show is around 30 minutes long.
Using humour, costumes, props and volunteers from the audience we’ll have you participating in sometimes zany antics to deepen your understanding of science and technology!
For more information including Australian National Curriculum information please take a look at our Spectacular Science Shows — Details web page.
Puppet Shows
Especially for pre-school children, our science based puppet shows are a great way to get the little ones interested in learning.
