Story

The Australian Armour and Artillery Museum opened to the public on Saturday the 6th September 2014.
The museum is privately owned and is the largest museum of its kind in the southern hemisphere.
We are located next door to Tjapukai and Skyrail on Kamerunga Road Smithfield, a suburb of Cairns, North Queensland.
We are dedicated to the collection, preservation, restoration and display of Armoured Vehicles and Artillery from the 1800’s to the present day. Our collection includes armoured vehicles and artillery from both world wars with a particular focus on WWII.
Currently our collection consists of 133 armoured vehicles and artillery pieces, many of which will not be found anywhere else in Australia. We are constantly on the lookout for additional pieces of equipment that will make our museum a richer experience for those visiting.

The museum is amazing. The staff enthusiastic, knowledgeable and welcoming.. A huge range of well Preserved tanks most in working order and all with description of what tank is and where they were used. I saw something different each day I was there. 3 days in all. We went for Armour Fest which was fantastic and I am not into Tanks. The energy of the event was high. To see so many working tanks driving and taking excited passengers was a buzz. Well worth spending a few days at the event.  Parking: Space for motorhomes.

An amazing collection of military armour and artillery. Our boys enjoyed the opportunity to shoot some rifles at the shooting gallery. The collection of tanks from many countries is quite extensive. I really enjoyed the Ancient Rome exhibit it was very interesting and had lots of information about things that have come from the Romans. Well worth a visit.

What a Gem, took my 11yo here while in Cairns and we had a ball with over 200 plus Tanks and items on display. Amazingly restored and really have a sense of the conditions inside them. Highly recommend to pop in, good prices and they said the tickets are valid for three days, so if your an avid fan you can take the time to read all the information and pop back later to finish.

This place is much bigger than we expected and it is all under cover. So many great exhibits of tanks from around the world.  There is an optional shooting gallery to experience military rifles and a modified tank for joyrides. There is no cafe on site but a shopping centre nearby.  The pass is valid for a number of days. We'll worth a visit.

A must to do in Cairns!!! The Australian Armour And Artillery Museum delivers an astonishing collection of armour And artillery. Need to spot 1-2 hours to explore the larger variety of tanks and other vehicles. There is a shooting gallery to experience real shooting. If interested, make sure to be there before 9:30 as the shooting capacity is limited. Located 25 km NW of Cairns with plenty of car parks. Good idea to combine your visit to the museum with Skyrail to make it a full day trip. Highly recommended!!!

For the enthusiast this place is fascinating and massive.  I went with my 2 sons and they loved it. Highly recommend if it is your thing but even if it's not there is still a lot of history and is very interesting. My sons loved the APC ride.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure

Absolutely world class experience. This is probably the best and largest collection of international armour and artillery you’ll see in Australia and rivals some of the great tank museums globally. Highly recommend the APC rides and there’s also a shooting range with historical firearms. You could very easily spend a full day here.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

We were so excited that a shooting range was present in Cairns and it's funny that this place doesn't come up on usual things to do search results. The museum itself is absolutely stunning and has sooooo much to see and is fascinating to look at the tanks and armoury on display. The shooting range is small and a bit pricey but well worth it as you get to fire two WW2 rifles which is an amazing experience.

What a find! Located beside gondola entrance. Hundreds of  assets to explore, give yourself at least two hours , longer if you are a military fan. The WW2 german tank section is stunning. Didn’t do the shooting range, not really interesting guns to fire - need to add some of those older guns!

Quite a collection of armoured vehicles and artilleries from different countries used during world wars. If you into tanks and military history, this is the place you want to be. You can also shoot the WW 2 rifle of your choice for a fun experience. Worth a visit.
