    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The basic museum used to be free, but no longer. It's $7 or $3.50 for concessions. $25/$10 to include visits to the vessels.

    The Minimariners program on Tuesdays during school term is just fantastic but make sure you ring to book a place. It's very popular.

    Don't bother walking all the way up here if you've got a kid under 3 feet tall - not allowed on the boats even with if they're in a hiking pack..

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

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