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!

A sensitive and thoughtful display of the past. And amazing examples of the many vessels used in Australia and beyond. Easy to get to from Circular Quay via ferry, from pier number 5 to Piemonte. Use your credit card to tap on and off. Spend a few hours or all day. There’s a café, cloaking facilities and guides to direct you with advice and interesting stories. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and enthusiastic about history. They are currently renovating parts of the exterior but all exhibits are reachable.

Simply fantastic, a must-visit! We really enjoyed the boat tours, especially the submarine tour. For those who love boats and more, this museum is a must-see. The staff, made up of many volunteers, is incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Unfortunately it closes at 5 PM but we really appreciated that the staff at the entrance allowed us to come back the next day because the first time we couldn’t visit the entire museum.

What an incredible day! Definitely give yourself some time in the day to take in this amazing museum. We had a ball looking at the various ships and learning more at the James Cameron and Wildlife Photography.
