Simply an amazing. It's undergoing some massive works for the next couple of years, which will make it so much better.  We all loved it.  It's a very emotional place to visit.  Every Australian should visit this at least once to appreciate what our diggers have gone through & to see the history of our armed forces.

One of the best places to visit in Canberra, especially for young ones that are interested in military vehicles. Make sure you ask where to park if you want to go around and see the large outdoor vehicles as they are not part of the main exhibit. Still free to access, but it's a lot easier if you drive around the back and park.

An amazing place of national significance. Made all that much better by taking a tour.  A balanced view of losses and warfare within our borders would be a significant improvement. As would ensuring the Board has no political appointments.  Years ago I thought the dioramas were old hat but my appreciation has grown. Perhaps visiting the actual sites has helped.

Every Australian and person who visits the ACT needs to visit this place...the stories told within this monument are hard to understand for those who were never there. I'm not sure how the modern generation will ever understand the sacrifice that was made. We stayed for the last post ceremony which is held daily and has the story of 1 soldier told in detail which was great to hear hit in main area with the pool of reflection and eternal flame. Worth every cent to visit.

The Australian War Memorial was a place to reflect upon all the sacrifices our war hero's went through. It is an AMAZING Memorial and I was deeply touched. It is a place which is tastefully made and a real education for all Australians and alike. Truly mind blowing, how many men and women gave up their lives for us all.

Absolutely brilliant but a day is not enough if you are interested in war time stuff.  You really need 2 days. I started with the first world war but didn't really finish it and barely touched the second world and didn't even get to Vietnam or Korea. My advice go to the website and get your ticket they are free but they only allow a certain number of people in because of COVID. Get one for each time slot and don't forget the last post one at the end of the day. It's worth going just for that.

Easily the best war memorial and war-related museum I have ever been to! The detail, the diorama displays and the sheer amount of information and displays is phenomenal. It's very respectful and the commemorative garden displays the names of fallen Australian soldiers and service people across all wars fought.  The audio headphone self-guided tour for just $10 is definitely worth it, too.  Absolutely essential to visit this beautifully presented and respectful memorial whilst you're in Canberra.

Australian War Memorial - an Australian monument-museum whose main task is to remind contemporary Australians of the achievements of their armed forces in the wars fought with the participation of the Australian Union. The main part of the building is occupied by the military museum. Great palce for visit, ticket free. Good lesson of history

The war memorial is an exceptional place to visit. Very moving and to see the workmanship that has gone into all the displays is amazing.  The tour guides are all so very knowledgeable.

Pleasantly surprised. Wasn't really our first pick of something to do in Canberra, and really only went to be "tourists" but I wish we had left ourselves with more time to look around. The exhibits are beautifully displayed. The Team that look after this place deserve a round of applause. A few museums and art galleries could take good notes from this place.
