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.
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!nnThe building is beautiful too. We love how it's not just a simple multi levels.nnThey also have a paid section at the time of my visit, it was Lego.
I visited here with my wife and 4 kids on a Saturday. It was a lovely sunny day so probably not many people would want to be inside. We arrived as soon as it opened so was not much of a wait. There were employees on the door welcoming us in. We went straight to level two at first to see the dinosaurs and birds. We were the only ones up there that early so had a lot of time to see everything before the rush of people. Kids loved all the different birds and finding out what part of Australia they live in. There are employees around the museum that do little talks for anyone interested.nWe stopped for lunch at the restaurant on level four there is another little cafe area on one of the levels if you don't want to spend much money or have your own lunch from home.nYou can order a main with two or three sides and a pudding if you like. The view from the restaurant was amazing. You can see part of the Sydney Opera house just above the trees. After lunch, we went round the museum again a lot more busy this time. There are kids areas where they can play and also look through microscopes at different objects. There is also a photo of the year area where you can see a lot of amazing photos. We visited the gift shop which had some nice building brick sets and a lot of the usual stuff you would expect to see in any gift shop. After we left we walked around a nice park just across the road from the museum. Park was busy with a lot of people sitting on the grass sunbathing.nI am happy to say it was a nice day and I would recommend it to anyone.
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.nnThe 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.nnThey 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.
