Great place to visit if you love boats but interesting enough for everyone really. Fascinating to see what its like inside a submarine and war ship! The location in darling harbour makes it even better. Great place to visit.

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!

I can’t recommend the MuSeaUm highly enough. Arrived shortly after opening and were there until shortly before closing. This really can be a full day endeavour. The exhibitions are interesting and varied. The museum building is large and the lighting is a relaxed dim to give focus to the exhibits. Volunteer guides are welcoming and informative. We bought the See It All ticket at $35 per adult and found it excellent value. The best museum we’ve been to in Sydney. We also had lunch at the on site cafe Ripples and the food was great.

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

Great Experience at the National Marine Museum We spent about 2–3 hours exploring the museum and had a fantastic time. On the day of our visit, we got to see a military ship, a submarine, a lighthouse, and the galleries. The staff and guides were very friendly, explained everything in detail, and answered all our questions. It was an informative and well-organized experience—definitely worth visiting!
