Questacon

A child entry is $7.50, adults are $15.50 and you can get an annual pass. Apart from the stuff for older kids, they have a section called "Mini-Q" specifically for 6 and under which has proper child toilets and change area as well as great age-specific activities. Apparently some Mum's take their kids there every week!

Questacon

Oops! Norby beat me to this one! And I got the cost wrong for kids. Doh! But the mini-Q is excellent. The only hard thing is trying to get the kids to come home after...
