Forget tricks, let Questacon treat you to something horrifyingly fun​ this Halloween at SciFright!
Once the sun sets on Halloween, Questacon will transform into a haunted playground where the shadows come alive and the science gets spooky. Wander through the ghostly halls after dark and uncover spooky science, see mad scientists in action and come dressed to impress – or terrify.
​Expect strange sights around every corner as you see our mad scientists’ live Liquid Fright-rogen show, explore parasites and plagues, or dance the night away at a Halloween House Party that’ll rattle your bones.
​Whether you’re a science fanatic, a Halloween enthusiast or just chasing a frightfully fun night out, SciFright promises chills, thrills and a night full of fright that will haunt you long after you leave.
This event is 18+ only.
