Great place for all ages. General entry is free. You only need to pay for the special exhibits. Plenty to see even with general entry, including ANZAC, dinosaur displays. Some good interactive things. There is wheel chair and pram access but you will need to wait some time for the lifts.
Really a great place to spend whole day with family and friends. Very beautifully arranged wildlife and other stuffs. The cafe's food and coffee was amazing. Overall had a great time! Kids will enjoy the dinosaur garden & level 4 wildlife section. Highly recommended for spending a hot summer day when the UV index is 11 !
The Egyptian exhibition is a must see, lots of reading to do, so bring your comfy shoes and take your time. There are around 10 minute intervals to get in so the crowd can move through slowly. There is seating throughout if you need to rest.
I recently took the family to Queensland Museum Kurilpa | Brisbane, and they had a wonderful time. The museum has been recently renovated, including a new food court. However, be prepared for premium prices - a basic meat pie costs $10.50, and children's meals are around $25. The prices are extraordinarily high, so I strongly recommend bringing your own food and snacks. The museum displays were excellent, with the dinosaur and insect exhibits being particular highlights for the children. My personal favorite was the extensive mineral collection, which showcased nearly every type of rock I've ever encountered - it was truly eye-opening. I was hoping to find information about Captain James Cook, the famous explorer who mapped Australia's East Coast, but unfortunately wasn't successful in my search. The museum features extensive exhibitions about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. While these displays were informative, in my personal opinion, I would have appreciated a more balanced representation of all aspects of Australian history, including more content about European settlement and development. Regarding practical matters, the facility is well-equipped with plenty of restrooms throughout. Parking is available on-site, with a flat fee of approximately $17-18 for the day.
We went to see the Ancient Egypt exhibition. It was excellent and well worth the entrance fee. We were really impressed with the vast number of artefacts; admittedly, some were replicas of original pieces, but the real items were absolutely amazing how well preserved they are. Highly recommend everyone goes to see this. However, keep in mind younger children with a short attention span may get bored easily (we went without our toddler for this reason and enjoyed it that much more). We have also been to the Jurassic World Lego exhibition and the Dinosaurs of Patagonia exhibition in the past. Both were equally as excellent.
