I've always wanted to visit the museum but thought that it wouldn't be very exciting or interesting, wow was I wrong, we were so amazed at everything there. We have already converted our tickets to a family yearly membership and will be visiting again very soon.

The Star Wars Lego Exhibition is a must-see for all Star Wars trafics (like me!) The exhibits are absolutely amazing, reproduced in exquisite detail to be as realistic as possible. The explanatory notes, images and videos accompanying the models add to the experience. Brick man and his team have outdone themselves! The ability to create your own lightsabers and figures completes the exhibition. Just fantastic!

The exhibition was very informative and well laid out with excellent displays and individual pieces that demonstrated the broad range of items in the hoard and the different eras and original areas the items were from.

It was a great experience! The app was also super easy to navigate and there's a lot of options for other things to do that I'm excited to explore. I loved the museum and will be excited to go back when they finish some improvements to one of their exhibits and open a new one in April.

museums I’ve visited in Australia. The exhibitions are modern, interactive and really well designed for both adults and kids. The Triceratops fossil is absolutely incredible and worth the visit alone — seeing such a complete real dinosaur skeleton up close is something special.
I also loved how the museum mixes science, nature and history with hands-on displays that keep you engaged instead of just reading panels. The spaces are spacious, well organised and easy to explore without feeling overwhelming.
