Hyde Park Barracks

Need approximately 1.5h to go through the exhibits, more if you wish to spend more time looking at each in detail. This last entry is 1.5h prior to closing! Good collection of history of First Nation peoples, many whom were prisoners, and orphans. Some space dedicated to Sydney opera house too. Service: Self guided tour with audio guide. Audio guide has location tracking that will change narration based on which exhibit you’re looking at. Crowd: Not a lot of crowd in weekday just before close! Payment: Free entry, which is great.

It was a very interesting experience. It puts a nice perspective on the challenges that surrounded how Australia was colonized. The staff are very pleasant and the tour was quite nice. If you like history this is a must to add to your list of places to visit

A really interesting and informative experience. I highly recommend it to anyone. My 14 year old thoroughly enjoyed it too. The audio tour has some great stories and information rolled in together. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming.

Amazing family experience! The guided tours are great for kids and adults. It's interactive, educational and overall a great immersive experience to learn more about that time of Australia's history. We'll be back!

Really great and quite assessable. We went with one wheelie and 2 younger kids 4 and 6, get the audio guide! It's absolutely fantastic, quite assessable, except the gravel outside but they have grates in place to make it manageable. Audio headphones kept the kids engaged through the entire thing (as well as the adults) very very fantastic experience.
