I've always wanted to visit the museum but thought that it wouldn't be very exciting or interesting, wow was I wrong, we were so amazed at everything there. We have already converted our tickets to a family yearly membership and will be visiting again very soon.

This is a great building, inside and out. Full of light. Great variety of exhibits. We enjoyed the First Nations exhibit, in fact my husband stayed in there for the whole of our visit. Informative and moving. The Melbourne history gallery was fascinating.as as the Wonderous Planet. As we only had a couple of hours, we never made it to the Vikings but we have plenty of those in the UK. Importantly for a Brit the café makes a good cup of tea!! ILoved the small outdoor rainforest .too.

After planning 3 hours at the Melbourne Mueum we both felt we could have given it longer. Mind you, we did spend at least 1 1/2 hours in the First People display which was fantastic. Would definitely recommend it to others. Families will also enjoy the amount of interactive displays and a great dinosaur display. Although I did hear one very disappointed little person "But I wanted to see them alive!" I'm glad they weren't!

    We were able to experience the new exhibition as well as explore the free exhibitions throughout the museum. We'll definitely be back as we ran out of time to see everything.
