Australian Museum

An easy walk from Town Hall station approx 10 minutes. Entry is free unless you are wanting to visit a particular special exhibit that’s not usually at the museum. So much to see! I particularly enjoyed the Westpac Long Gallery on the ground floor, the Wild Planet exhibition and of course the Dinosaur exhibits. If you like to know a bit about Australia’s creepy crawlers, make sure you visit the Surviving Australia exhibits. So much to see in all exhibits. The Billabong Waterhole cafe (on the 2nd floor) was also a nice pit stop and reasonably priced. I was particularly impressed with the cafes commitment to recycling. You can visit this museum for a few hours or get lost in it for a whole day. Well worth a visit, especially if you don’t know much about Australia’s flora and fauna and our South Pacific friends cultures. Something for everyone!

We recently visited the Australian Museum during our trip to Sydney and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of our vacation. This museum has everything you would expect and much more from fascinating species of birds and animals to fossils and precious stones. The dinosaur section was definitely the highlight for us, especially the detailed TREX display and cut section, which was absolutely amazing to see. The museum is very informative with clear signboards and well-organized exhibits throughout. Most areas are pram and wheelchair friendly, which made our visit very comfortable as a family. They also have restaurants/cafes on different floors, making it easy to relax during the visit. The dedicated kids’ play areas were wonderful, including a special play space for babies below one year where parents can accompany their little ones. Best part is entry is free! A must-visit place in Sydney for both kids and adults.

The Australian Museum, the nation's first, is a captivating journey through natural history and culture right in the heart of Sydney. It’s a place where prehistoric giants roam again in the phenomenal dinosaur exhibits, a guaranteed highlight for all ages. The galleries dedicated to Australia’s unique wildlife and the rich, living history of its First Nations peoples are both profoundly insightful and beautifully curated. The museum brilliantly connects visitors to the continent's deep past and vibrant present.

Impressive! So many rooms to cater different interests. Clean, spacious, inclusive. Great day for family. Their restaurant at the top floor has good view. We went to their special exhibition too. Really enjoyable, especially because we came early morning on a Sunday before the crowd started.
