Museums in Melbourne

First trip with the grandkids. They were excited about the gold. With trepidation we took the mine tour & thoroughly enjoyed it. They loved colouring their candles.

Absolutely brilliant. The time and effort which went into each display was amazing. The building station for the kids and the kids at heart also a great addition

An incredible, dazzling, colourful and immersive Star Wars LEGO display. The attention to detail is unbelievable (especially the spinning Death Star and human built duels), with every scene, character and breathtaking set transporting you straight into a galaxy far, far away. Absolutely worth the visit — even worth flying in from Sydney.

Staggered entrance so not overcrowded. Not only a visual showing but a sensory experience. History and back story easy to appreciate 5*

My experience of Westwood/Kawabuko was a visceral feast that ignited my personal teenage experiences in the 1980s. I was blown away to see 'Pirate' boots, tartan patterns and the original Buffalo girl dresses that were I now realise fed into the mainstream to become our fashion. My spiked hair, tartan stirrup pants, dreams of designing my own wedding dress with a cross cross calico bodice...incredible.

I visited SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium with my family, and it was our very first time there — and also our first time being together in Australia. It turned into such a special day for all of us. The exhibits were beautiful, the staff were friendly, and everything was easy to navigate as a family. The highlight for us was definitely the penguins. Watching them up close was magical and made the whole experience unforgettable. My family absolutely loved it, and it was the perfect way to celebrate being reunited. Highly recommend for families, first-time visitors, and anyone looking for a memorable day out in Melbourne.

My trip to Melbourne SEA LIFE was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. From the moment I walked inside, I felt like I had entered a whole new underwater world. The lighting, the calming sounds, and the huge tanks immediately captured my attention. I was fascinated by the incredible variety of sea creatures, from graceful jellyfish glowing softly to playful penguins waddling around with so much personality. Walking through the ocean tunnel was my favourite part, as sharks and massive rays glided right above my head, making it feel like I was underwater with them. The colourful coral displays and tropical fish were breathtaking and made me appreciate how beautiful and diverse marine life is. The interactive exhibits were fun and educational, helping me learn interesting facts while still enjoying myself. Overall, the experience was exciting, relaxing, and inspiring, and it made my visit to Melbourne even more special.

It was lovely, a bit crowded but to be expected. Enjoyed the French Impressionism exhibition very much thank you. The light lunch was also impressive and easy to locate.
