About Questacon > Awards

We’re fortunate at Questacon that affirmation of a job well done can often be seen through the smiles on our visitor’s faces and from their engagement with our various exhibits, programs, and shows. That our staff and volunteer’s efforts have also received recognition by our peers and other professionals is a special honour. Here are a few we’ve recently received.
