Medical information
Questacon is an interactive and highly stimulating environment, with exhibitions built to engage a wide variety of senses. Some exhibits are built using electromagnetics, flashing lights, and loud noises.
Some things to consider when planning your visit:
- Electrical fields and very strong magnets may interfere with the operation of some personal medical equipment, like hearing aids and Cochlear implants.
- Flashing lights and interactive computer screens may trigger visitors with light sensitivity, such as people with photosensitive epilepsy.
- Spectacular Science Shows may contain loud noises or flashing lights. Shows change daily, please talk to the presenter for more information.
