Fascinating experience to board a submarine and a destroyer. The museum inside is quite static in comparison. Note: the tall ship James Craig at the side is not part of the museum and is free to visit

Every Aussie should go to see the Endevour replica , the volunteers knowledge is excellent! The Vampire warship and Onslow submarine are also worth a look.

Dominic Tam

General Admission which includes almost everything except visit to the boat & sub is FREE! The museum has a dedicated area for infants and a separate large play area for children.

Virginia Gordon

A great museum - so interesting - the special exhibitions are wellpresented with mixed media. The gift shop has really tasteful and fun and interesting things for all ages. Love this place.

Be sure to spend some time at the Welcome Wall, which chronicles the millions of people (like me and my family) who have settled in this wonderful place. We'll be on the wall soon! ????

The Endeavour wasn't in the harbour but it was still a good afternoon out. Enjoyed the submarine (in particular) and their volunteer guides are so passionate it's a pleasure listening to them.

Boards ships and experience what life is like on the water. We loved going on board the destroyer, submarine and tall ship . You will pay $32 for full access. Cheaper rates for regular visits.

Ian Leven

Buy the 'big ticket' $25/$15 and explore the Endevour replica , Vampire Navy destroyer and Onslow submarine . Definitely the highlights of the visit. Volunteer guides are friendly and helpful @ANMMuseum

If you're a whale lover like myself, get the Big Ticket ($27) and pay an extra $7 to see life-size photos of whales!

Be sure to wear comfortable shoes ! Crawling around the submarine, destroyer, and tall ship is hard on shoes and clothes .

Auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert. Das Kriegsschiff, U-Boot und James Cook Schiff sind voll begehbar.

Lívia Gurgel

Ao lado tem um shopping, os preços são melhores para almoçar ou lanchar. Os restaurantes da orla são bem salgados .
