John AMay 16, 2015Super cool modern space... After being inside, enjoy a walk in the park around the museum. Walk a few blocks down Gertrude Street for some unique cafes as a change of pace.
Paula CJune 4, 2013Awesome experience! Very sensitive and scary when next to the bugzzzZZZZ. You can explore for hours and get lost in the world, nature and society histories!
Lisa StarbucksOctober 18, 2018It's one of the best museums I've been to! The science section shows so much dedication and love and insight! Great for young and old, solo and and with family. Definitely a must see in Melbourne! ❤️
matthew hacklingFebruary 12, 2011The wild - amazing animals in a changing world display is excellent. Augmented reality touch screens and cameras "label" the stuffed animals. Fantastic design and use of technology
Chloe TiaraJune 8, 2016This museum hosts different exhibitions; come every few months to make sure that you get to experience them all! Very educative and fun.
Linda W.May 21, 2013The Afghanistan Hidden Treasures exhibition is small but wonderfully presented and provides a fascinating insight into an ancient culture. Thoroughly worth a visit.

Haiku ReviewsMay 3, 2017Lose yourself among / dinosaurs, rocks, bugs, and more. / It's a must-see place! #HaikuReviews- They have real live lungfish here. Watch them swim and wonder at your prehistoric past.
James DuncanOctober 7, 2012Always worth a visit. I love the human brain exhibit, but there is plenty of awesome stuff. And Free WiFi!
Jason CoplandFebruary 11, 2010Adjacent to the old (and fabulous) Exhibition building, Melbourne museum is for all ages. Permanent exhibitions include the human body, dinosaurs, and bugs and insects. Kids love it.

Roger DavieDecember 5, 2019If you go on a weekday go after 2:00 or you will be inundated with a million screaming school groups.
Woodland EducationNovember 28, 2011Each school holiday season we bring our vacation care children here and they love it. WE will be back these school holidays.
TashaMarch 30, 2012Coffee is over priced, atmosphere is basic. Obviously the museum is great and nearby so that is a plus. Seems understaffed and slow on a regular basis. Pricey sandwiches are fresh-ish so best option.
PaulaJune 12, 2010Awesome, check it out, heaps of fun :-) Especially when the weather is crap! Go to Carlton for some Koko Black afterwards for that chocolate hit ;-)
Next_StudioJanuary 21, 2011Check out CSIRAC - the world's oldest (complete) computer... then enjoy free WIFI on your ridiculously small and futuristic smart-phone!- matthew hacklingFebruary 13, 2011The display of Dino digestion on the touchscreen is hilarious in dinosaur walk. The BONG noise when the sauropod does a poo always cracks me up
William ReeveJanuary 18, 2010The Menagerie, in the Melbourne Gallery houses a bunch of sculptures of Australian animals, made and commentated by Aboriginal artists. It's excellent
Fatuous GitJune 11, 2012A ticket entitles you to free entry all day; but then so does the museum's non-existent security.
Ben RyanMay 18, 2013They don't do touring exhibition only tickets which is a pity if you've already seen the main museum
herdianti wisesaputriMarch 26, 2010always has interesting temporary exhibition. WILD exhibition thats still on is awesome! free entry for student too!
