About

Wandering with Whales – A July school holiday puppet show 

Where are the whales going, and why? Become a scientist and let's discover together how and why whales migrate and how to study them in the wild - What can we learn from whale-snot? Come discover Australia’s amazing humpback whales and have a whale of a time!

Come travel aboard our special Blue Door Room research ship: The InQuestigator and become a scientist in Wandering with Whales, presented by Questacon’s Excited Particles team. This interactive puppet show takes audiences on a fin‑filled adventure as part of a scientific mission to find, follow and learn about whales.
