Was a lovely museum that goings into detail about multiple wars that Australia has aided or participated in took in. There are some simulation videos that seem very real - be aware when bringing anyone that has experienced war. The simulation videos however is a great piece that can educate and help immerse the average person on what war can feel like and help bring about reflection. The museum houses many beautiful areas to explore and allows for peaceful reflection. Has great photo opportunities, has lift available for accessibility, has public toilets, and is a very big building, so allow for a longer time frame to explore (approx 2.5hrs will be enough)

OMG this is a sacred place. We spent over 4 hours here. A beautiful sombre place to pay respects and reflect on our nation's sacrifices. You must stay for the Last Post ceremony in the afternoon. We will be back when renovations are complete.

Simply a must visit, amazing collection of war memorabilia and stories. Some stories will break your heart, plenty of additional works going on to make it even bigger. You will need all day, take a break at Poppy's for a feed and drink. And return for the last post ceremony at 4:30pm.

A great place to visit while in Canberra. Tons of displays and heaps to learn about. Make sure you buy tickets in advance else you could be waiting in line for a fair while, especially during school holidays. I also recommend not carrying any bags as they will be searched for safety reasons.
