⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Must-Visit in Melbourne! Visited yesterday and I’m still buzzing about it! Melbourne Museum is genuinely one of the best museum experiences I’ve had. From the moment you walk in, the building itself is impressive — the architecture is bold and modern, and the open spaces inside make everything feel grand without being overwhelming. The dinosaur and fossil exhibits were the clear highlight for me. They’re beautifully presented, with enough detail to fascinate adults while still being visually stunning enough to stop you in your tracks. The overall atmosphere throughout the museum is calm, well-organised. Staff were friendly and the whole place was spotlessly clean.

I'm near on 74 and the curiosity evoked through the museum's material kept me bound for an age. Starting with the First Peoples presentation ( which was fairly strong, I particularly liked the art and personal stories. In my on view complexity and fidelity are areas for growth) Then into geology - again fantastic and the world of dinosaurs again captured me. The scale of things, like the blue whale. Marvellous So thanks, Rob

It was an amazing experience for my kid. Loved it I gave four not five star because when we went they had so many school excursions that's we couldn't see peacefully. It was total chaos.

The penguins look depressed. they are all standing cramped in their cage. The swimming area wasn't open and some were pacing back and forth which isn't good for animals in captivity.
