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.
Note: The National Maritime Museum has re-opened now, except for some areas such as the warship submarine, 3D Cinema, Kids on Deck, the lighthouse, and the library. These areas are temporarily closed. You are welcome to book your ticket now and enjoy the trip.
