Questacon (Nicholas)

 

One of things we wanted to do in Canberra was go to Questacon. Questacon is an interactive science place. It has seven exhibits plus some other rooms where they did talks on various topics such as mummification and music. It was very well set out with children’s play areas, plenty of interactive ways to learn about science and some very entertaining things to do, such as air hockey against a robot, a drop slide and a tunnel that makes you lose your balance.

 

Being me I had to go through and read and do everything that I could possibly do. We spent 6 hours straight there. Ryan spent it going down the drop slide and complaining whereas Jackson and I spent it going through every nook and cranny of the massive building to learn as much as possible.

 

The various rooms all had different set-ups depending on what they were trying teaching you. The first exhibit was all about inventions and pulleys and non-motorised mechanics.  One of the exhibits was on natural disasters and how they’re caused plus they’re different aspects like the different movements of the earth in an earth quake.

 

This was a brilliant way to spend our first full day in Canberra because we learnt loads and had a great time.
