Reviews
The Australian National Maritime Museum is an impressive and visually stunning place, especially for anyone interested in the sea, exploration, and naval history. The exhibits feature a wealth of fascinating items—from ship models and maritime artifacts to incredible National Geographic award-winning photographs that bring the ocean’s beauty and mysteries to life.nnOne of the standout experiences is being able to board historic warships and explore their interiors. Walking through the decks and cabins really gives you a sense of what life at sea was like, making the visit immersive and memorable. The museum does a great job of combining education with hands-on experiences, which makes it suitable for both adults and families.nnThat said, the ticket prices are on the higher side. While the collection and interactive experiences are excellent, the cost feels a bit steep compared to other museums in Sydney.nnOverall, though, it’s a fascinating destination for maritime enthusiasts and history lovers—just be prepared for the higher entry fee.
The Australian National Maritime Museum is a wonderful place to explore and learn. It offers a rich and interactive experience, especially if you're curious about Australia’s maritime history, naval heritage, and ocean exploration.nnThe exhibits are well-organized, informative, and suitable for all ages. From historic ships to submarines and modern maritime stories, there’s a lot to see and engage with. It’s not just about reading — there are hands-on displays and real vessels you can board, which makes it feel immersive and exciting.nnI found it to be both educational and enjoyable — a great spot to visit whether you’re a local, a student, or a tourist. It’s a museum that makes learning feel fun and meaningful.
A very interesting and good value exhibition. I have been to many maritime museums in the world but the Australian Maritime Museum is so well organised and across a vast area along the quayside, it is very special. I visited the Nelson submarine and the larger frigate. Both fascinating and gives real perspective. The historic ships including the endeavour really add the historic touch and the best examples of historic ships available. I also visited the Art exhibition which again, well laid out making it less crowded and easy to manoeuvre. My photos are a bit poor as camera was wet.
My little boy liked this museum. The sea creature sculptures and helicopter was interesting. The boats outside also look a lot of fun to explore. We will see them another time. There are free exhibitions and paid exhibitions in the museum.
Visiting the Australian National Maritime Museum was an enjoyable experience. I have previously been on a few other occasions. As the name suggests, the museum is dedicated to the history of Australia as it happened in and around the sea. I particularly enjoyed learning about the migrant history and how many Australians came to the country on a ship or boat. There is also an area dedicated to naval history, and I found that interesting, too.nnMany of the displays remain the same in the museum, but in terms of the free exhibitions, some of the displays downstairs change. There are also a lot of ships outside that can be viewed and entered if you purchase a separate ticket. General entry is free.nnStaff were very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.
