Overview

Bring your 3–5‑year‑old along for a Science Time session at Questacon, where curious young minds discovers what's inside their bodies.

What do different parts of the body do? Why do our hearts beat faster and we breathe heavier after exercise? Through playful questioning, hands‑on experiments, creative activities and simple crafts, children can discover all about the body.

Each interactive session encourages little scientists to ask questions, explore and experiment in a fun, supportive environment designed especially for early childhood.

The experience finishes with an exciting demonstration and a take‑home activity sheet, so the learning can continue at home.

A fun and engaging introduction to science for preschoolers, full of discovery, imagination and curiosity.

This activity is included with general admission or Questacon membership, but bookings are required.
