Stephanie KApril 29, 2013Brilliant museum for kids, so much for them to do, great on a rainy day. If you live in Sydney, then it's worth it to get a yearly membership.Upvoted 10 hours ago
John PaterakisMay 28, 2018Generally a museum of natural history, with special focus on the wildlife of Australia. Also a strong emphasis on Aboriginal culture.

Alex ColeSeptember 30, 2013So much to see & do. The kids really enjoyed it but adults can learn a lot here too. A must see if you are in Sydney

Tony MartinezApril 6, 2014Wear earplugs. The noise level from screaming kids reverberates and is magnified by the old walls and is deafening and inescapable.
Nadim SharbeanApril 27, 2014Great interactive exhibits that superbly manage to keep the kids engaged.
Jackson TsaiJanuary 21, 2015Located near the cook & Phillip aquatic center, great collection of works
AndréFebruary 13, 2013Get a copy of "The official Sydney guide" at one of the tourist information stands before you come here, it contains a discount coupon. $8 instead of $12 in my case.
The staff meetings are riveting - an event not to be missed.
Kevin MasonMarch 15, 2011Bodypainting at Jurassic lounge. The other entertainment was great! I got to go here during the day. Could spend hours here!
Em ToshackJuly 15, 2014Jurassic lounge appears to be seasonal - check before you get excited about going!
Bring or send us images of any natural history specimens and we will endeavor to identify and inform!
If u r a member pop in to the lounge for free tea and coffee. Lower ground floor.
- Chris ChinchillaJune 10, 2010Has one of the best indigenous sections I've seen in Australian musuems
If you want a brilliant exhibition for the kids then hurry, as Amazing Backyard Adventures must close soon
- You can spend a lot of time in and around this venerable museum institution, working or otherwise!
- Be sure to take an extra jumper/coat coz it's cold in there!
