Awesome place to visit. It is solemn but informative. The awe it inspires is not to be overlooked or to be dismissed. The sheer size of the building and quality of what they have done is excellent. A place for us all to look back and remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

The Shrine stands as a visual reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by young men and women so that generations of Australians could live in peace. It also houses an amazing collection of donated war memorabilia from all conflicts in which Australians have fought. There is a computer room where research can be undertaken. Because the museum is below ground lifts provide disabled access. There are public toilets and a shop selling drinks, books and memorabilia. Be sure to allow plenty of time when you visit.

Took my dad here during a recent visit to Melbourne. I was amazed at how much was inside. We did not allow enough time to take it all in. Some of the highlights were seeing old bombs and airplanes, as well as the uniforms. Highly recommended for low cost day out that will stay with you.

My family and I went here. It was a memorable and educational experience. You need a lot of time to check out all the objects in the museum and in the Shrine. The view from the top level is beautiful.
