Mini Shed - fun for 0-6

While Mini Q undergoes a redevelopment, The Shed has been temporarily transformed into a discovery space just for curious minds aged 0–6 year olds! Learn more about the Mini Q redevelopment.

Mini Shed is a space where curiosity takes flight and creativity knows no limits. This hands-on space invites little explorers to build, experiment, experience and play with endless possibilities.  

Children can dive into loose parts play, designing their own inventions with recycled materials, or test their creations on the wind table, watching them soar and learning about forces and motion.  

Sensory play tables will allow children to get hands on and experiment with materials to build cognitive and motor skills and imaginative play will spark creativity allowing children to invent role play and problem solve like a scientist.  

Every activity encourages problem-solving, imagination, and discovery – engaging young minds to develop confidence and a love of exploration. Come tinker, test, and let your ideas take flight! 

No food or drink is allowed in any of Questacon gallery spaces, except for baby bottles. You can bring food to enjoy outside the building before or after your Mini Shed session. Coffee, snacks and a full lunch menu is available from Atomic Catering.
