Sigrid de CastellaSeptember 18, 2017Great shows and the DarkLab series includes wine and cheese! Although "Listening to the the Universe" was a little disappointing.
No matter how many times we come here, we Always have fun!! And always spend a ridiculous amount of time in the Nitty Gritty City!! Love It!!! *8vD- meetoo.com.auAugust 30, 2012We love love love Nitty Gritty Super City located upstairs. Kids will play here for hours. Suited to 8 and under, but often bigger kids up there too..

Kylee MApril 25, 2012Buy yourself a Museum Victoria membership to avoid the queues and come as many times as you like!
- Alexander YapMarch 18, 2012House Secrets exhibition downstairs lets you get up close to your furniture. Interesting for kids.
Elle AAugust 26, 2015Great for the kids. Remember to pack food, the food they have are overpriced, disgusting and unhealthy for kids- Alexander YapMarch 19, 2012Great fun for primary school age kids or younger. Adults won't learn anything useful though.
- Alexander YapMarch 18, 2012How cool is that? Realistic Lego model of Melbourne inside Nitty Gritty Super City upstairs.
- matthew hacklingFebruary 9, 2011Little kids love the construction site with bricks and conveyor on the 2nd floor
- Alexander YapMarch 18, 2012Cafe is quite small & doesn't really have cooked food. Only sandwiches, pies, chips & stuff. At least the coffee is decent.

"What a fantastic museum! I was expecting a tin shed with dusty models, but was pleasantly surprised by the well laid out displays and fantastic array of planes. Well worth a visit - and it's free!"
