This is the coolest museum ever! There are so many different sections to explore and much of the museum is interactive so you have a great time here. Admission is only $10. Happy times ahead :)

Sarah Adham

You have to buy the tickets online as they do not have the ticket counters in the museum . Nevertheless, the tour was awesome

Arkady B

Aussie tech museum build by techs brought by Britain, US, Japan and USSR. Does not worth to visit if u are 15 years old and older. Most of things have nothing about technology at all.

James Ferguson

Fairly large museum with changing exhibitions located in the old Powerhouse. Worth checking what’s on ahead of time.

Yat Fai Ooi

Easily spend 3-4 hours at the museum . Plenty of cool exhibits that even adults would find interesting

Alex Torrance

Fantastic museum of science and design. Needs a bit of brushing up (will tell you about that) but some great stuff here.

Joy Ludwig-Mcnutt

Fantastic DC Comics Exhibition - all made from Legos - here until May 2016!

Make sure to check out the Powerhouse Museum layar with hist. photos of Sydney to see a different perspective of the urban space. Search direct through the Layar app.

Take a tour if the museum 's size is intimidating. You'll get shown the best bits and so you can double-back to check them out.

fastBREAK - for young entrepreneurs to meet like people. Happens on the last Friday of (most) months. One of the coolest crowds you'll meet in Sydney. vibewire.org for more details.

take at least half a day here, my only regret was only spending a few hours with the kids, so much to see and explorer- Zoe's play area is a must with young kids Read more

Bronwyn Orsatti

Really disappointed with my visit today. I was saddened to find Zoe's House gone & 'replaced' with the Wiggles . Instead of a fun inclusive play my son with autism was overwhelmed & scared. #epicfail

Mohamed Gaafar

it was really a nice experience .. you should visit it if you are going to Sydney :)

Hendra Wong

Go to Powerhouse Museum. Enjoy all the exhibits from Victorian era until the 80's. Do not miss the giant steam locomotive train near the entrance. Instant journey to the past.

If you're a tourist visiting Sydney for a few days, you can skip it unless it's raining and you can't find anything else to keep your kids busy.

Abhijeet Gandhi

Wonderful exhibits chronicling the STEAM curriculum.

Bradley Harrison

Check to see what exhibits are on and when. Sometimes there is a crossover and quite a bit can be closed. It can leave a bad taste in your wallet!

Great digital media workshops for all ages. Learn music , video, graphics software, film making, digital storytelling and social networking skills.
