Directions
We’re located on the shore of Lake Burley Griffin on King Edward Terrace, Parkes (on the corner of Mall Road West), in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia. Want to find us on your GPS unit or Google Maps? Our front door is at -35° 17' 55.08", +149° 7' 54.06".
By post, we’re at PO Box 5322 Kingston ACT 2604 Australia.
By foot, we’re a 30 minute walk across the bridge from Canberra's main business district. Taking public transport, we’re on several ACTION bus routes. If you’re travelling by car, there is a large, free car park next to the Centre.
Café & Gift Shop
Are you a member of our Q Club? Take 10% off your Café and Shop purchases. Cool!
Enjoy a coffee and cake, cold drink, sandwich or hot lunch right here at Questacon. See if we can tempt your taste-buds or tickle your uvula when you browse the menu online. Our Café is open 8 am to 5 pm. If you’re coming with a group of 10 or more, we also have snack and lunch packs available that can be ordered in advance. (No Q Club discounts on those - sorry!)
From the educational to the sensational, the Questacon Shop sells a wide range of books, interactive science toys, activity kits and teaching resources. It’s located in the lobby, so you don’t have to pay admission to drop in for some shopping.
The 2009 version of our Questacon Guide is also available as a downloadable brochure.
Note that you may need to download PDF reader software to view or print it.
