Super cool modern space... After being inside, enjoy a walk in the park around the museum . Walk a few blocks down Gertrude Street for some unique cafes as a change of pace.

Awesome experience! Very sensitive and scary when next to the bugzzzZZZZ. You can explore for hours and get lost in the world, nature and society histories!

It's one of the best museums I've been to! The science section shows so much dedication and love and insight! Great for young and old, solo and and with family. Definitely a must see in Melbourne! ❤️

The wild - amazing animals in a changing world display is excellent. Augmented reality touch screens and cameras "label" the stuffed animals. Fantastic design and use of technology

Chloe Tiara

This museum hosts different exhibitions ; come every few months to make sure that you get to experience them all! Very educative and fun.

The Afghanistan Hidden Treasures exhibition is small but wonderfully presented and provides a fascinating insight into an ancient culture. Thoroughly worth a visit.

Always has great exhibitions . Check out what's on when in Melbourne

Angelina Costa

Concession tickets are free! ???????? great for international students

Tasha

Coffee is over priced, atmosphere is basic. Obviously the museum is great and nearby so that is a plus. Seems understaffed and slow on a regular basis. Pricey sandwiches are fresh-ish so best option.

Cyril Bernier

The triceratops is worth stopping by!

Dyanna Asri

There isn't enough hearts to describe this place ❤️❤️❤️❤️????????????????❣????????????????????????????????

Nessie

Great place to take family.

Paula

Awesome, check it out, heaps of fun :-) Especially when the weather is crap! Go to Carlton for some Koko Black afterwards for that chocolate hit ;-)

Check out CSIRAC - the world's oldest (complete) computer... then enjoy free WIFI on your ridiculously small and futuristic smart-phone!

matthew hackling

The display of Dino digestion on the touchscreen is hilarious in dinosaur walk. The BONG noise when the sauropod does a poo always cracks me up

Cyril Bernier

Stop by the triceratops!

Brendan J Leach

Everything about it is great

The Menagerie, in the Melbourne Gallery houses a bunch of sculptures of Australian animals , made and commentated by Aboriginal artists . It's excellent

A ticket entitles you to free entry all day; but then so does the museum 's non-existent security.

They don't do touring exhibition only tickets which is a pity if you've already seen the main museum
