  • A nice thing to see after returning from Lone Star sanctuary on the boat. You will be dropped off steps away and the museum is free.

  • I love this museum! Access to levels 2, 3 and 4 was free and we could see a very large collection of insects and animals from Australia, million years old fossils and a live green python. I loved the fact that most animals and insects were real. There was also a stunning collection of minerals found all around Australia with some from private collections giving the public the opportunity to admire unique pieces.
  • Awesome Museum! Great ammenities, modern, large. The natural exhibits are awesome. Great place for a monthly family outing! Multiple areas around to eat and to be entertained. Bonus is easy access with loads of close parking.
  • Great Museum! It is an awesome experience. Several exhibits to chose from. The dinosaurs are also a favorite. We went during the 50th anniversary of the lunar landing celebration and exhibition. It was great to see the excitement.
  • Love the Queensland museum! Lots of free exhibits but sadly the dinosaur exhibits are closed and being renovated for a bigger dinosaur show in March, 2023. Nonetheless my kids love this museum, especially the outdoor dinosaur play area. What I love was the gemstone areas because it has a room of gemstones and minerals in display. I think it would be better if there are more interactive display but it was nonetheless great for kids, considering it’s mostly free entry.
  • We came here for the Disney 100 years of Animation. Such good exhibit, a must see for everyone. my 35 year old son took me for a date to see it. Such a lovely trip down to memory lane recollecting where he was, how he felt, who he was with on every Disney movie l. We had a great time. Photos are a little dark on some, flash is not allowed. Booking is not necessary but to avoid delay it is a must esp on weekends. Paid parking is easy here there are 4 large carparks around but the most convenient is below this museum suitable for older people like myself.
