Are you a member of our Q Club? Take 10% off your Café and Shop purchases. Cool!

Enjoy a coffee and cake, cold drink, sandwich or hot lunch right here at Questacon. See if we can tempt your taste-buds or tickle your uvula when you browse the menu online. Our Café is open 8 am to 5 pm. If you’re coming with a group of 10 or more, we also have snack and lunch packs available that can be ordered in advance. (No Q Club discounts on those - sorry!)

From the educational to the sensational, the Questacon Shop sells a wide range of books, interactive science toys, activity kits and teaching resources. It’s located in the lobby, so you don’t have to pay admission to drop in for some shopping. If you’re into shopping via the internet, check out the online store.
