The Melbourne Museum is a MUST DO! With easy ticket purchasing, access to the museum is fast and hassle-free. All of the exhibits are incrediblt informative, well-presented, with most of them interactive as well! Truly a pleasure to have been able to visit!

Our family enjoyed the Star Wars exhibition. I really liked the Endor Diorama, I definitely want to buy the Lego Ewok village now.

Ticketing was easy to follow and information and maps for the three activities were good. The staff at all three were really helpful, pleasant and made the experiences fun. It was fun getting close to the animals at Churchill Island and the highlight was milking the cow. Walking around the koala reserve and again getting to see them up close was special. The highlight of the afternoon was the penguin parade, particularly getting to see them as they went to their burrows, from the boardwalk. We all agreed that we had a great day. We self drove.

Despite the reconstruction work taking place at the time I found that access to most of what I wanted to see and experience was retained. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. I would venture one suggestion : keep the different age sectors in mind when booking tickers, not everyone is tech savvy.
