CANBERRA FOR CHILDREN

There's so much for children to see in Canberra - and many of the city's top attractions are as much about learning, doing and touching as they are about seeing.

Our Education Constultant's top 5 days out in Canberra:

Questacon at The National Science and Technology Centre where children and adults can have fun with hands-on science exhibits.

The Children's Gallery at the National Gallery of Australia has a range of exhibitions supported by interactive activities.

National Zoo & Aquarium is set in seven hectares of landscaped bush with barbecue facilities, a coffee shop and free parking.

Fun Factory where children can climb, crawl and slide around a two-teired indoor adventure land. Older children can also practice their driving skills on battery operated quad bikes.

Weston Park is great for outdoor fun with a miniature railway, Canberra's biggest maze, barbecue facilities, playground equipment, large tree houses and lots of space around the lake.
