Questacon—The National Science and Technology Centre
Questacon—The National Science and Technology Centre Review
This interactive science facility is the city's most entertaining museum, especially for kids. About 200 hands-on exhibits in seven galleries including spaces on sport and music use high-tech computer gadgetry and anything from pendulums to feathers to illustrate principles of mathematics, physics, and human perception. There are daily stage shows (about such things as rockets and natural disasters), puppet shows, and talks. Staff members explain the scientific principles behind the exhibits.
