Frequently asked questions

What extra precautions are you taking to ensure visitor safety?

As part of our COVID-19 safety plan, we have implemented some changes to ensure we follow Queensland Government guidelines — these include:

• If you are feeling unwell or displaying flu like symptoms, please rest up at home and visit when you’re better. Management reserve the right of refusal for entry to visitors that do not adhere to COVID-19 safe requirements.
• Social distancing measures are in place — we have installed signage, floor markings and hand sanitising stations to help you practice social distancing and maintain good hygiene.
• Enhanced cleaning, particularly in our high contact areas and bathrooms.
• Area specific signage with maximum visitor numbers.

We will continue to monitor the latest advice and update this information as it becomes available.

Are there any changes to experiences?

During the temporary COVID-19 closure our team has been busy with centre upgrades, however the ‘high-touch’ exhibits – including all interactive displays will remain closed.
