the vampire and oslo, being in a submarine was so good! makes my geeky side fueled! but I was a bit sad because the lighthouse was closed that day, it'll be awesome though if it was open.

The old ship of Capten Black, the great people who explain the special things with so much heart. The good condition and originality were great to experience. The man at the ticket desk was friendly, didn't know anything about German but was really nice and informative. The museum has a lot to show, unfortunately if you don't go straight to U-Boot it takes ages. Unfortunately we left because of the appointments. Go there, it's worth the entrance fee!

Awesome

The National Maritime Museum offers a look into Australia’s link to the sea. The exhibits featured within its walls tell stories of naval wars, ancient saltwater traditions, modern beach culture, and aquatic sporting achievements. The Big Ticket allows for a comprehensive and wholesome experience, granting you access to everything in the museum. Learn about the maritime history of the Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders; see the Spirit of Australia, take a gander into the lives of sailors aboard a naval warship and a modern submarine, and browse galleries to gain perspective on subjects like immigration, naval defense forces, sailing, and surfing.

The ticket includes several historic vessels, the likes of the HMAS Onslow, a submarine from the Royal Australian Navy, the HMAS Vampire, and more. Depending on the day of your visit, you may find one or more ships available to tour.
