Brilliant modern museum, great value for money, lots to please kids and adults alike. The stuffed animal display is so amazing I even forgot to feel sorry for the poor critters! Plan to spend minimum 2 hours. Great children's area for under 8s to get the sillies out.

I have been to the museum twice in recent years, and enjoyed the exhibits, but not the cost of the food in the cafe. The children loved the dinosaur gallery, and also seeing how nan lived in the "olden days"! It is very easy to spend many hours wandering around absorbing the many fascinating exhibits.

I'm not a huge lover of stuffy and boring museums but the this place is very modern. I live 2 hours away from Melbourne and i have been to the museum on numerous occasions. Well worth a visit. But be warned the food is very expensive so maybe bring your own cut lunch and a drink to save some money.

A very well laid out set of exhibitions that are extremely interesting, informative and promote social, cultural and environmental awareness. Well worth a good half day, if not longer.

A lovely exhibition of treasure saved from the Taliban by a group of forward-thinking people from the Kabul Museum. Beautiful examples of craft work dating back to almost 2000 yeard BC. Beautifully presented, well lit.

Attended an evening cocktail arty and dinner here recently. Excellent approach by the caterers. We were confined to the ground floor, but being able to wander off around the natural science exhibits with a wine and nibbles made for a different event. You can't beat a glass of bubbly to calm the nerves in the insect room.

Actually brilliant, we didn't even have enough time to soak up everything there, and we spent nearly 5 hours there! DEFINITELY worth your time and money! Hands down my favourite place in Melbourne

Exhibition is stunning, and reveals the extraordinary history of the country. Unmissable. The rest of the museum seemed about average to me. Sme of the galleries were closed.
