Pro tips to help you make a pick

The earlier you book, the less you pay. Look for "Off-Peak" tickets (usually mid-week during school terms) to lock in a lower rate.

it was a wonderful trip all in all. we stayed for about 1.5-2 hours looking around. my kid wasnt interested in the talks but they seemed very well presented and fun from the bits i did catch. it was very hot in the majority of the building which on one of the hottest days of the year was a struggle but we thought it was well worth it! our favourite part was the 360 tunnel with moe (hapy 50 birthday moe!) the turtle.
