Melbourne Museum

“While many museums across Australia offer free entry, Melbourne Museum truly proves that some experiences are well worth the admission fee. We spent over five hours exploring the museum and still felt like we could have stayed longer. The very first highlight was joining a guided walk led by Denis, who provided a wonderful and engaging overview of the museum’s collections. The range of galleries is impressive — from towering dinosaur skeletons to fascinating bug collections and the Gondwana Garden. My personal favourites were: *First Peoples– a powerful and moving exploration of Aboriginal history and culture. *Melbourne Gallery (History of Melbourne)– beautifully curated stories tracing the city’s development. *Forest Gallery– a serene, living rainforest space right inside the museum. We even had a small picnic outside. Federation Tapestry collection is also stunning — symbolic, and deeply meaningful. We also joined the eel-feeding session and learned about their habitat. Very well worth a visit.”

“This museum was a fantastic experience, largely because it had so many fun and interactive components. It’s a really great place to visit if you enjoy learning about history, seeing different kinds of animals, and exploring nature. I especially liked how engaging everything was, it wasn't just reading displays, but actually getting to participate. Normally, you don't expect museums to have live animals, but this one was a pleasant surprise because it does! They had a really interesting selection, and it added a unique dimension to the whole experience. Because of all this, I will definitely come back to this museum again in the future. It’s a place worth revisiting!”

“A must visit with kids! What an interactive museum! A whole lot of effort put into a museum. A splendid example how “boring history” really comes to life. They even have a great kids play area, where even the little ones playfully learn things. Excellent museum!”

“The Melbourne Museum was incredible! We were fortunate enough to see the Star Wars LEGO exhibition, which was amazing. You should definitely spend half a day here. It's one of the most beautiful museums I’ve visited in the world.”
