Please Note
Discovery Tours are conducted Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings commencing between 9:30 am and 10:30 am to provide better access to the theatres that are available, prior to the evening performances. We try to avoid booking a tour on a Wednesday or Saturday due to the usually heavy load of matinees. Tours are not conducted on a Sunday or Public Holiday.
Due to the high number of events in all 4 of our theatres during November and December, unfortunately we are unable to accept/accommodate any Backstage Tours during this time. However, we look forward to working with you in 2024 to bring you the QPAC Tours Experience.
Today we had a most marvellous tour of QPAC. Our Tour Guide’s knowledge of behind the scenes was amazing and it gave us all a great insight in to the running of a production and what actually happens behind the scenes. We had the most wonderful one and a half hours with Amanda, our guide. Our most sincere thanks for a truly great morning.

Our Technical Tour is ideal for Senior Highschool, TAFE or University Students; those with an interest in Tourism and Event Marketing or people looking to start a career within the performing arts.
