Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney

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. The shop has regular special items on sale at very reasonable price. A short walk from darling harbour complex. Easiest assess is by Light Rail The "Big Ticket" get you access to the sub and the tall ship. Definitely worth while but the sub will require some tight stairs climbing and may not suitable for very small children and elderly

My son and I were members for about three years, then let membership lapse because his interest in Ships waned. Going there was always a pleasure, and the Member's Lounge was a great retreat on a busy day. His interest in Ships reappeared so we signed up for another two-year membership and it's like old times. In 2018 they are renovating, so the main museum experience is a little disrupted, but the ANMM is still a great place to visit for Kids large & small, young & old.

Come and have a great experience stepping into Naval vessels which have seen many battles. See how it is to be inside one of these physically, walk through the most part of them. It's an awesome experience both for adults and kids. Try to reach early as they close down stepping into the ships by 3:30pm to 4:00pm

We went only to the free galleries due to limited time... this was a great option for our older primary schoolers who enjoyed reading and viewing the exhibits. Spent about an hour there. Lovely older gent volunteer explained the tickets versus the free galleries.

Indoors were typical museum with some interactions. But we were blown away by the outdoor areas and more real life you couldn't get. Thank you. We will be back
