You can explore the public areas of the Queensland Museum without paying an entry fee, which was a nice surprise. Most of the exhibits are geared more toward children than adults, but there’s still plenty to enjoy. From Australian wildlife to cultural displays, there’s a good mix of things to see—especially if you’re visiting with kids.

Free for general areas viewing. Was worth the time. I could see different ages of animals( Triassic Jurassic, age of dinosaurs, etc), sharks , squids, snakes, birds , and stones, and also about the islanders history. They write in detail to understand which species were obtained, whether they were reconstructed or the real fossils. I and my friend had fun.
