About

Do you have a little budding scientist on your hands? Mini Qfun for 0-6 year olds is a space built specifically for curious toddlers!

Each zone in Mini Q encourages your young children to explore their environment through a process of observation, prediction, testing and refining. This helps little (and big) scientists to learn about the world around them, inspire their imagination and build their confidence.

Book a Mini Q session

When you arrive, ask about Mini Q sessions and bookings at the ticket desk.

Mini Q is included with general admission entry. But session times may be in place during peak periods such as school holidays and long weekends.

Mini Q facilities and storage

Mini Q has its own bathrooms and baby change facilities. Questacon is a breastfeeding-friendly institution and you are welcome to breastfeed anywhere in the Centre. Mini Q has a dedicated space for breastfeeding and bottle feeding equipped with microwaves for warming milk. Find the facilities you need with our Centre map.

Prams are not allowed in Mini Q; however, there is limited pram parking available at the front of the gallery.

Food and drink

No food or drink is allowed in any of Questacon gallery spaces, except for baby formula. You can bring food to enjoy outside the building before or after your Mini Q session. Coffee, snacks and a full lunch menu is available from Atomic Catering.
