Questacon
Australia's national science and technology centre, Questacon is a hands-on interactive museum aimed squarely at kids and families — earthquake simulators, a free-fall slide, and physics/science demonstrations across several floors. It's one of the most consistently kid-popular attractions in Canberra.
It's a paid attraction unlike most of Canberra's free national institutions nearby, but it's a reliable half-day for families with children, especially as a change of pace from the more static museum and gallery experiences elsewhere in the city.
