Really amazing museum. There were a variety of things to see, you can easily stay there for hours. To me, this museum is about the human endeavour of exploration and persistence. A negative is that the ships aren't open till 5pm, some close at 3:30pm and others at 4:30pm. And when I was there the weather was bad so I couldn't enter the lighthouse

Beautiful museum, you can go inside a submarine and other war and sailing ships. There are a lot of veteran volunteers explaining the story of each ship and of the submarine. The James Cameron exhibition is amazing too, it shows his trip to the real Titanic wreck and to the deepest place in the ocean (almost 11.000 m above the sea). Wonderful and recommended!

Interesting museum We’ve spent here approximately 2h. The museum consists of outdoor exhibitions - real battleship, ship used in 18th century, submarine and full replica of Captain Cook’s ship. All of them are interesting to visit, but be ready that usually there is a queue to visit a submarine. The indoor halls consists of different exhibits and thematic areas. For example, now there is a zone dedicated to James Cameron’s dive experiences - you’ll see Titanic and bathyscaph immersions and films about it. There is a cafe in the territory - sandwiches and couple of main dishes are available, different drinks including cocktails.

If you're in Sydney, the Australian National Maritime Museum is a great place to check out. The entry fee is AUD 25, and it’s really worth it! The museum offers various exhibits highlighting significant maritime history. One of the standout attractions is the opportunity to explore a real submarine and several ships, making it an excellent place if you've ever wanted to see the inside of such vessels. The staff are friendly and explain everything clearly. There’s also a section with beautiful Aboriginal arts and crafts, which is very interesting. If you love the Titanic movie, you’ll enjoy seeing items related to the film's production. I spent about four hours there, but there’s so much to see, you could easily spend more time. There’s a café if you get hungry, and a shop where you can buy souvenirs. Overall, it’s a fun and educational place to visit!

5 out of 5 experience! | highly recommend, sooo much to do inside the Australian National Maritime Museum. I went on submarine, old pirate ship and couple other ships. The inside of the museum had wildlife photography of the year and it definitely a must to see. You would think your spending only 30min or maybe and hour instead to see everything 4 to 5 hours. Definitely worth the money!
