I visited about two hours before closing, so it wasn’t crowded and I could enjoy the exhibition at a relaxed pace.

This museum was exceptionally good and interesting. Allow around 2-3 hours to look around as there is a lot of history regarding WA to look at. Many interactive things to watch and look at. Definitely worth a visit when in Perth and the entry fee is excellent value.

What a wonderful exhibition! So unique and special. A wonderful initiative. The tour was very well organised considering that such a big crowd wanted to see the warriors. It is always a pleasure to visit the museum.

Went to see the Terra Cotta warriors exhibition. Fantastic place for the whole family. There's something for everyone. Exhibitions are interesting and well planned. As they controlled the number of people going in, it wasn't too crowded. Price was reasonable as well. Lots of volunteers to help provide direction and take photos for you.

Amazing museum for both children and adults. The kids enjoyed it so much that we spent whole day here until the museum closed! They have great exhibits and lots of interesting facts and information. There were many activities set up for children as well. The staff were all very kind, particularly with children - they were really sweet.
Weekdays in winter are quieter. Summer mornings offer cool galleries before crowds arrive. Check holiday dates to avoid school groups.
