About

Join the Questacon Science Circus for a FREE pop-up science centre experience like no other! 

With more than 30 hands-on exhibits and spectacular science shows, the Science Circus pop-up is a fantastic STEM experience for the whole family.

This June, we’re bringing pop-up events in Kempsey, Port Macquarie, Forster, Taree and Coffs Harbour. See below for more information about an event near you.

Things to know

  • This is a FREE event, but bookings are essential.  
  • Suitable for all ages and families. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
  • To manage visitor flow, entry tickets can be booked every 30 minutes, with the last entry one hour before closing. You’re welcome to stay as long as you like, but most people spend 1-2 hours at our pop-up.
