Australian Museum

“Free admission, huge floor for kids to play and learn all thing animals. A cafe is right next to the kids area and there is pram parking and parents room. Very clean. Heaps of tired parents here when I went on the weekend. The bus stop is right at the front. If you drive, there is limited street parking for $8.40 per hour on the weekends. The aquatic center is right next door so if planned properly this can be a day out in the city for the family. The museum is huge with dinosaurs and animal displays. I found the cut open T. rex a bit too confronting for toddlers. The signage could be improved - took us a while to find the dinosaur.”

“Plenty to see and so here! Entry is free for general admission and you can exit and enter as many times as you wish. Visited on a hot summer afternoon and it was a lovely way to spend almost half the day there. The kids loved Burra on the 2nd floor, which was highly interactive and immersive. You also learn a lot about the First Nations people here and the nature exhibits were engaging for my children (3 under 9). Highly recommend!”

“Gorgeous museum with plenty of exhibits. There was a paid exhibit which I didn’t go to, but everything else was entirely free. They currently have an exhibit on photography which is absolutely stunning. I highly recommend going down to see it! I also very much enjoyed looking at the 200 treasures of the museum. Everything is wonderfully curated and I absolutely loved it.”

“Wow, for a free museum, this place is great! The exhibits are very interesting and the way they arranged the displays are wonderful. I love the TRex dissection model, that was unexpected and super creative! The building is beautiful too. We love how it's not just a simple multi levels. They also have a paid section (at the time of my visit, it was Lego).”
