Shell Questacon Science Circus Tours

Several times a year, the team packs up the truck and the Shell Questacon Science Circus rolls out of town.

Are we coming to a town near you?

The truck contains more than 50 hands-on exhibits and props for more than 15 exciting science shows. Check out some of our best demonstrations.

While the Circus is on the road the team will give shows in schools during the day. Teachers you can now make school performance bookings online.

In the evenings the community are invited to come along to the Circus and see the hands-on exhibits and the science shows (children who have already seen us perform at their school will be able to see different shows).

While at the Science Circus you can measure how fast you can throw a ball, explore how ice-skaters and gymnasts spin, try on a friends' face and investigate how your senses work by confusing yourself with mirrors.
