What makes it 76% Baby-Friendly: Lifts, wide aisles, fenced crawl area, parents’ rooms and bottle warming help carers; occasional crowd noise and unsupervised pram parking reduce comfort but a short visit is still convenient.

The kids had such a wonderful time learning g new facts about dinosaurs in the museum followed by lots of photos and exploring in the garden. The crystal were beautiful and so many different designs to look and choose from. The little crystal pit for the kids to pick their own crystals was a fantastic way for the kids to pick the ones they loved.

Really cool to see, and the fact that it’s free is wonderful. I’ve definitely paid for less in the past. Great collection of taxidermied Australian birds and other animals. Ran out of time to see everything which is a testament to how big it is. Nice souvenir shop as well.
