Amazing and wow experience. I recently visited this museum and was quite impressed with aircraft’s and planes they have there. Most of them are open to public to climb and have feel of sitting in the cockpit of a fighter plane. Flight simulator was the best. It had a lot kids birthday parties as well the day we visited, definitely a great place for kids and Adults as well. Must visited place!!

A very good place for kids of all ages. An hour or two kids can busy exploring, riding and learning the history of some old planes. Some of these old planes were used in war, some were used as passenger planes. Kids can ride on most of these planes, the simulator one is the most exciting one!! It is very close to Moorabin DFO, so if any one is planning to visit, even they can plan some shopping together. Ticket price is affordable. Currently $20 for a full family. They have very friendly staffs. The souvenir shop has some attractions for the kids. Toilets are nice and clean. I recommend this place for someone to visit soon.

What a wonderful experience. The admission fee is so worth it. You’ll need at least an hour to enjoy the rich history of aviation in AUS. There were a lot of open access planes for you to try out, to see how it feels like as a fighter pilot and commercial pilot. Adults and kids would really enjoy pushing buttons, pulling levers in the cockpit. Great to take photos everywhere. You don’t need to be an enthusiast to enjoy it. I hope they get to add more planes in the future!

We had an absolutely amazing time here with our young boy who is mad keen on everything to do with airplanes at the moment. Being able to sit in the cockpits of many real aircraft was very exciting. The volunteers in the reception are very knowledgeable and friendly, and the entry fee is very reasonable. The shop has a great range of aviation related toys, memorabilia, and books. The museum is well laid out and it's exciting that they are working on an expansion to house even more aircraft that are currently in storage. It's a fascinating glimpse into the history of aviation and well worth the trip out to Moorabbin.

It's beautiful...

Heritage Hill Precinct is of local historical and cultural significance, reflecting the course of the City of Greater Dandenong’s cultural history. Laurel Lodge (1869), Benga (1936) and St James’ Anglican Church (1864) offer a glimpse into the everyday lives of a group of prominent locals who lived in the region during the late nineteenth and early-to-mid twentieth centuries. Today Laurel Lodge and Benga offer visitors opportunities for learning, participation and creative endeavour through tours, classes and exhibitions. Additionally, they regularly welcome artists for short-term residencies to create new work that is inspired and influenced by the real and imagined histories of their temporary studios. History of Benga House Designed by renowned architect Fredrick Ballantyne and built by Norman Taylor in the Tudor Revival style, Benga expresses the aspirations and developments in domestic housing during the inter-war period. At the time of its construction, it was to be the largest and most expensive house built in the Shire of Dandenong for over a decade. Through it we can explore the social life of the well-to-do family who resided there for more than 50 years. Benga was: 24 squares comprising seven rooms Deliberately situated on the south-eastern corner of the site to maximise the northern aspect and to ensure that nothing would interfere with the garden's exposure to the winter sun Built on an L-plan, with the lounge, dining rooms and the bedrooms situated in the northern/sunny side of the house and the service areas, including the maid's quarters, kitchen and bathroom positioned on the southern/cool side Today, much of Benga serves as a community access gallery with beautiful, professional exhibition spaces available to artists to exhibit their works. Benga also offers visitors an opportunity to explore life during the inter-war period through the intricate design of the house, period rooms and through access to Heritage Hill’s oral history collection. The collection includes tapes and transcripts of more than 300 interviews with a cross-section of people from the City. These oral histories are available to researchers and anyone wishing to listen to the life stories of past and present residents. Access to the collection is via prior arrangement only. Heritage Hill's Gardens The gardens of Heritage Hill are a part of Dandenong’s history. As well as providing attractive settings for the historic buildings they help us understand how people in the past related to their environment. The gardens of Laurel Lodge, Benga and St James' Church are all quite different, reflecting the desires of their creators and the diverse uses to which they were put. Domestic gardens have been an important feature of Australian life since European settlement, both as a source of food and as a place of beauty and recreation. In country towns house blocks of one acre allowed plenty of room for large trees, a vegetable plot, fruit trees, a poultry run and perhaps a cow or horse. It was also fashionable to have large garden beds full of flowers to produce a ‘show’ of massed annuals and perennials. The Benga Garden was designed and tended to by Mrs Hart for over 50 years. It exists today as an exceptional representation of 1930s garden design with its compartmentalised areas, ornamental trees and shrubs, a formal rose garden, perennial garden beds within expanses of lawn, formally designed paths, a pergola and a sun dial. The garden has not been significantly altered since the 1930s and is a noteworthy survival of a garden reflecting the period of its creation, designed and maintained by an enthusiastic amateur gardener.

Very nice museum! Love how they made most of the planes, helicopteres, jets, etc accessible to walk into or sit in. I have never seen such vehicles up close so it was very interesting to inspect the cockpit and all the buttons! There's also a flight simulator which was pretty cool. There's a little gift shop where you enter, entry was just $10 per adult and theres toilets available too. Thoroughly enjoyed my time here 😊

Great fun for the family or anyone who has a general interest in planes and aviation. Lots to look at and interact with. You can sit in most of the decommissioned plans which is a unique experience. A great historical experience.

An awesome experience for about two hours. You get to sit in planes, experience a flight simulator and read about the rich history behind each aircraft.

This place was really cool. Good for kids who love their airplanes, all different types and different ones from all over the years. You get to go inside planes and play around, see how it all looked and how it was. It's a small place. It's a nice cheap little weekend thing to do. Kids would love it

Loved this place. My sister heard about it so went with my 2 grandson's and sisters. The boys loved seeing all the old planes and sitting in the cockpits. Was fascinating. They even had a helicopter to sit in. We really enjoyed the few hours we spent there. Only $7.00 for adult's, children free.

What an absolutely amazing place to visit, you could climb in almost everything. The information about each aircraft was very informative, the staff were very welcoming and friendly. We had a great time.

Great couple of hours spent with my 7 year old who loves planes. In this museum you can touch almost everything and experience firsthand what it was like to pilot planes and helicopters from the 1930's to 1970's. The place even caters for kids' parties!!

On a whim, I took DIDI here with my wife. The entrance fee is 10 Australian dollars per adult. There are many old airplanes you can visit. Some of them can also be seated in the cockpit to feel the immersive feeling of flying an airplane. There are also old-style passenger aircraft driving simulations. There are also some pilot equipment in the room, there are also large passenger planes to visit outdoors, and there are several helicopters to see. There are also some souvenirs to purchase at the counter. The bathroom is large and clean. The overall feeling is pretty good, but the It's more convenient to take a TAXI or drive by yourself. If you take the bus, you have to get off at the department store station very outside, and then walk for about 15 minutes to get there.

Visited the museum on last Saturday (Oct 14) morning. For aviation fans, it’s a place really worth visiting. There are many interesting collections, especially the classic Beaufighter and the Fokker fuel tank. I was so excited when meeting the beautiful twin-engine Beau. BTW, bought several pretty lovely stickers from the shop.

My first time there. As an ex military person I loved looking at all the military aircraft. Also the TAA Viscount brought back memories as it was the first type of plane I flew in that I can remember.

It was a fun experience, seeing old planes and their history. Also you're able to ride on some of them and access the controls / cockpit. This is fun for kids and adults alike, especially those who love airplanes.

We accidently found this museum and it was one of the best find. They got different types of plans and helicopters. Kid enjoyed a lot.

Very quite, not much happening. There should be a buzz such as jazz on weekends, farmers Markets and regular advertisement so people know it exists

Wonderful place to visit... If you really like history.

Top notch museum. Entry fee is well worth the money spent. A lot of love and care has been taken to look after these planes which are partly housed under the hangar. The other half is housed outdoors. About 40% of them you can climb into and some right into the cockpit. The volunteers are passionate and dedicated. Be sure to download the QR code reader to hear live audio as you move thru the museum. The info plaques are comprehensive and interesting but the audio from the QR codes and links adds more interest tothe experience. Old and young alike would definitely enjoy this museum. They do group tours.

Fantastic experience! Took the munchkins along and had an equal amount of fun! A truly interactive museum - great little gem not too far from the surrounding suburbs. Great for all ages, with a range of aircraft that you can sit in and experience from the pilots perspective. Entry was cheap too and the gift shop was reasonably priced. We all agreed we could come back for a second visit!

Recently visited this museum and was quite impressed with aircraft’s and planes they have there. Most of them are open to public to climb and have feel of sitting in the cockpit of a fighter plane. It had a lot kids birthday parties as well the day we visited, definitely a great place for kids and Adults as well.

Really good outing for a few hours, great interactive exhibits, simulators, you're able to climb into the cockpits. definitely recommend.

Good for an hour or two with the kids. Thankfully you can actually sit in some of the planes. Has a small eating area too

Very interactive museum. I expected your typical walls of information but it was much more rich in scope. Plenty of actual model aircraft you can sit in and play around with. From military planes to commercial planes. Decent section of things to check out. Very cheap entry too. Only $10. I'm not even a fan of aviation but still found an appreciation for all the things around me.

We celebrated our son’s birthday here. Not only the kids had an amazing time, all the parents appreciated the venue and the knowledge everyone gained! It is a hidden gem and I will highly recommend to all the parents for the next party of their little one’s special day!!

Very interesting. There is a decent variety of military and civilian aircraft. You can get inside a lot of the planes and helicopters which is nice. Well worth a visit.

My husband and I and our 2 children aged 3 and 5 had a lovely afternoon here after seeing it recommended by Small Ideas on Facebook. We weren't expecting so many such large planes and that we'd be able to sit inside so many, it was really well laid out with lots to see and we all got something positive out of it and enjoyed it. Very reasonably priced admission and we got the kids a little helicopter Lego treat each to take home. Only suggestion would be for the info about each plane to be displayed at the bottom of it rather than inside it so you can read while you're waiting for a turn. Not sure if there was anywhere to get a coffee or snack/light lunch but there were facilities there like ramps for prams and a changing table

Good one day trip with Kids and they will definitely enjoy it. Many old fighter jets, helicopter models to checkout. Ticket price is very low. Souvenir shop and free parking available.

A beautiful place with lots of aeroplanes, fighter jets, helicopters which you can climb onto to get a real feel. With both indoors and outdoors area on display you can easily spend 2 - 3 hours of not more. You need to visit the museum to actually understand how nice it is. Thoroughly loved it.

Wow, fantastic place to visit! Recommend for kids, adults, families. Loved everything on show, and there were interesting things to look at for all ages. There are lots of interactive planes where you could sit in the cockpit and see what is like. Highly recommend

Great place for aviation fans. Not many aircraft to see but they are in pristine condition and they all belong to an era long bygone, so it is a rare opportunity to see up close these flying machines. Don't miss it !!

As a aviation fan, It's great to have a close up look at some of these aircraft of the past. Love to sit in the cockpit, get a feel for how it was. Great to see the interior of 737 and play in the simulator. Look forward to see more when museum expands and current projects are restored.

Great place for both kids and adults to explore around. They allow us to hop into some planes, too- including spy planes. I was so happy that I got to see some old planes that no longer use in this modern period (e.g. F-86). Overall satisfied with the experience and great people who work there! Cheers!

Had a great kids party here in the hangar. Staff were friendly, such a great place for kids to explore planes, helicopters and some aviation history.

Decent set up they have here. Have not been to many air museums in the past, but can say that for such a low price, it was well worth it. A bunch of planes to walk through and cockpits to sit in. Some informative displays with other aircraft, airport, uniforms and historical.

An excellent museum where you can sit in the cockpit of many aircraft. You can get up close to all the exhibits and there are volunteers who love to chat about the exhibits.

Having looked this museum up before my vacation to Australia decided that I had to visit so whilst in Melbourne hopped on a train then on a bus to get there, and once there I have to say that I was not disappointed, this is a fantastic little museum with both indoor and outdoor exhibits. Kids will love the fact that they can climb into the aircraft and explore the museum is full of information and history and I can highly recommend a visit, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The airport has a busy general aviation hub so plenty of aircraft to be seen.

Excellent spot to visit with kids. $20 for a family pass and can easily spend 60-90 minutes here with a couple toddlers (longer with older kids if you want to read all the exhibition information). You can climb into plane and helicopter cockpits, walk through older commercial airliners and experience a flight simulator. Definitely well worth a visit!

We were within walking distance to the museum so decided to visit. Huge number of aircraft there with lots of information about them. Interesting stories plus loads of facts and figures for geeks. Lots of info about their use in wartime.

Fantastic place for little ones and those who love aviation! Great value too. Check out naked racer while there. Great value for money.

Great aviation museum with a bunch of interesting propeller and jet aircraft you can actually sit in and interact with. Great for kids and adults. Value for money and worth a look if you're in the area or a lover of aviation. Great way to spend a few hours.

Great Museum where you can get up close and interact with many of the displays which are well set up and informative. There is also a great little library in the main entrance for enthusiasts looking for interesting historical aviation books to read and/or models to build. Highly recommend a visit, great little museum, thank you!

Great place beautiful meals all the staff are really friendly its just a really great night out with families and friends

The Moorabbin Air Museum has various well maintained displays indoors and in open storage. Loved the DC-9 SIM and the B737-200 front section. The shop offers a huge selection of books and gadgets - a must go for every aviation enthusiast.

Always a wonderful experience, but seeing the Mad Max car... OMG

Very nice to see planes up closer and even enter some. Awesome surrounding too with planes landing and taking off in the distance. Very fun place to be for aviation enthusiasts and everyone else.

A pretty cool place, especially if you are an aviation buff or have children who love planes! Lots of the equipment is open and you can enjoy clambering into jets, helicopters, flight simulators and old commercial aircraft. Well worth the entry fee ($10 for adults) and would go back in a heartbeat.

My 4 year old loved it.. what a great day out

Great place. Other's reviews were spot on. A wonderful and friendly place with great service of people willing to share stories and help. Our boys are 7 and 8 and absolutely loved every bit of it. Lots of opportunities for them to sit in the cockpit of a variety of planes and really get a sense of being a 'pilot'. Interesting stories and information supporting each of the exhibits. You need only a few hours to go through the entirity of the museum, but it is time well spent. Would highly recommend a visit.

Wow, our family walked away with a much greater appreciation for the aviation industry. Fascinating place with plenty of interesting things for kids to check out

A nice and affordable family outing. Both kids 11 and 2 enjoyed being able to interact with the planes, and I enjoyed reading th ed history.

Amazing little gem hidden away in the south east suburbs! Best part of this museum is all the airplanes with open access... Never have I ever had a chance to sit in the cockpit of a 737! The flight simulator is cool... Must visit place if u're in Victoria!!

What an awesome place, never been to a museum before where you can interact with the old flying machines. Just superb! Lovely staff too ☺️☺️

What a great little museum. I loved being able to access the cockpit of so many of the planes.

Fantastic, I've been to so many air museums in the world but for kids, this one is the best. The access to so many cockpits helped my kids be more interested in the museum assets.

I have been going there since I was a baby and every time I go I still never want to leave, I even had my birthday there. I say thank you to the people constantly maintaining the aircraft and making the experience 10 times better. And to the people reading this review I Guarantee you will be absolutely amazed.

We visited the Australian National Aviation Museum with our grandchildren on a Sunday morning. We live quite close by but had never been. I had no idea how much there was to see. The kids loved it ! They were able to climb into many of the planes and loved playing with all the controls. If you are an avaition enthusiast it's a must do experience. There are planes inside and outside and there's even one you can have a party in !. The exhibition is very informative with a great deal of information from World Wars 1 and 2. The kids loved watching all the planes landing next door at Moorabbin airport too. A great way to spend a few hours.

My son enjoyed it very much. It was a great experience for him..

It's scrap garden.

(Translated by Google) A very nice aircraft museum is an environment where children can visit and discover (Original) Çok güzel bir uçak müzesi çocukların gezip kessfedecegi bir ortam

Great place to take the kids where they can go into several cockpits and play with the buttons and switches. It is well worth getting a membership if you like planes or have kids.

Super interesting of you love history or even aircraft in general! It's great to see and even step into the aircraft. Recommend

Great fun for kids

Great place very handa on and interactive flight simulations

Surprisingly hands on place! Great way to interact

A great museum for everyone: young and old; flight nerd or noob. A wide variety of aircraft of historical significance (both military and civilian), open cockpits and interactive experiences all demonstrated by a friendly and passionate staff.

Really good museum where the kids could sit in planes and see all the buttons. Also had a part where the kids could see what passenger planes are like inside which has been great for preparing our kids for an international flight. Small enough that the kids didn't get overloaded, big enough to be great value for money. It rained while we were there so didn't get to spend too much time outside.

My mum's best friend gave me and my huge friend free access to the museum

It's an aviation museum. What's not to love?!

My kids loved it... interesting interactive displays...

The best

Highly recommended to those who loves vintage aircrafts.

Don't miss this!

Nice

This is a great museum of Australian aviation. There were lots of planes the kids could sit in and flick switches to pretend to be pilots. The people were very friendly too.

Really good experience - lots of planes for kids to get inside. Really well done.

Great to see an ultralight on display

Nice display, interactive for the kids sitting in the cockpits. Friendly helpful staff.

Excellent small museum, can enter some of the cockpits, worth a look!

Great for the kids. Lots to see!

Very interesting exhibits, worth a visit

My 3 year old Granddaughter loves this place. She is obsessed with planes. Perfect for kids of all ages

Perfect place to learn about Australian aviation. Kids love it, plenty to do to go more than once. Support this local museum!

Varied and interesting, great for youngsters

The Australian National Aviation Museum is an aviation museum at the Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was founded in 1962 as the Australian Aircraft Restoration Group, an attempt to maintain a World War II-era Bristol Beaufighter aircraft. It has since become a museum, with a large aircraft collection. It was originally named the Moorabbin Air Museum. As of 2008 it held 50 aircraft and 25 engines. The Australian Aircraft Restoration Group was first formed in 1962 as a volunteer group by aviation enthusiasts including members of the Aviation Historical Society of Australia. The first home for the collection was on a farm in Wandin North then the Pine Hill Service Station, at that time on the Warburton road, outside of Lillydale Victoria. The museum aircraft were stored there with the Wacket trainer, donated by the Lucas family, displayed prominently. In 1965 land was allocated for a museum at Moorabin Airport Victoria the current home of the collection. The collection in the early days was made up of a combination of privately owned aircraft and those the Museum acquired in their own right. Amongst the first acquisitions was DAP Mark 21 Bristol Beaufighter A8-328 ex Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) that had been used as playground equipment at The Lord Mayor's Children's Camp at Portsea and was at risk of being scrapped. Following donation of the Beaufighter in April 1962, a CAC Wackett was donated by the Lucas family then the oldest complete aircraft in the collection. 1963 was a busy year for the group. In January an Avro Anson was purchased from Flinders Island Airlines, ( VH-FIA) and in May a Gloster Meteor was acquired from the Department of Supply. Trans Australia Airlines (TAA) donated a Tiger Moth in mid-1963, and the year was rounded out by recovering a CAC Wirraway from the dump at East Sale RAAF base. Early in 1964, most of the collection was moved to a service station north of Lilydale, where the Wacket was put on display where it remained until moved to Moorabin . Later in the year many of the aircraft were taken to a market garden adjacent to Moorabbin Airport. In October 1964, a Percival Proctor was donated, and by this stage the Department of Civil Aviation had agreed to lease the group land at Moorabbin Airport, with a fence erected on 20 May 1965. In 1966, the AARG returned to the farming district near Colac and collected a Kittyhawk fuselage, while February 1967 saw the most spectacular arrival when a former Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Fairey Firefly was flown from Bankstown in New South Wales to Moorabbin. For the next 20 years the Museum grew as more and more aircraft came into the collection and the theme of the Museum was quickly established. An aircraft or artefact acquired by the Museum had to be relevant to Australian aviation history. Without realising it the Museum was establishing what would be labelled by museum professionals years later as a collection policy. This theme is what held the Museum collection together and provided a sense of purpose to the collection. Other aviation museums would form in Australia but none would acquire the vast range of aircraft types, all of which related directly to Australian history. The collection ranges from gliders and homebuilts to World War II combat aircraft, jet fighters, crop dusters and four engine airliners.

Makes you forget you are in Dandenong, you think you are in the bush...beautiful

Nice trees

Excellent example of historical Dandenong. Staff and volunteers were fantastic. Extremely accomodating, helpfull and knowledgeable. A gem in the middle of Dandenong.

Hsa Moo Messenger

Big place, visited it there a lot as a child with my father. it is quiet unlike the rest of Dandenong.

Wasn’t open today public holiday friday

Beautiful garden filled with beautiful flowers.

Amazing history and beautiful garden.

Amazing gardens and historical display..

A fantastic and secret hide away in Dandenong! Beautiful to walk through the gardens.

1 historical house , old Australian history, how the rich lived.

An absolutely amazing place to visit. Loved Benga house and all the old products and beautiful restoration that has been done on Laurel Lodge. Lovely gardens and majestic Moreton Bay Figs. Will be back for another visit

Prerty boring really and I usually enjoy history and museums.

One word only describes this magical place “Amazing”

Amazing place to visit, the team working here have maintained a fantastic collection of Australian aviation history, well worth a visir.

A very good place to see air crafts

Located at Moorabbin, Victoria Australia. It was founded in 1962 as the Australian Aircraft Restoration Group, an attempt to maintain a World War ll era Bristol Beaufighte aircraft. It has since become a museum, with a large aircraft collection.

Great display, and you can sit in a few plane and helicopter cockpits. Some volunteers are around who have exceptional knowledge of aviation history.

Great place and nice experience

Best place for kids too

Great fun, very enjoyable for both kids and adults

Great spot for kids ++

Love it! Until you've actually sat in some of these aircraft you don't realise how small the cockpits were. Surprisingly a brilliant place to take the kids!

A great aircraft museum in the heart of Melbourne. Some aircraft are open to go inside and have a great experience.

She amazing old aircraft and the ability to get really close and even climb inside.

Good history and great tactile interaction with the display. Had fun playing with the displays to get a feel of how these planes were made and got a close up to the level of sophistication these war birds were made to

Great little museum for enthusiasts, great for adults and kids to be able to climb in the cockpits and let your imagination do the rest...

Ever wondered what happened to the aircraft your saw at Wobbie's world back in the 80's? We you can re-visit it here. Great peace to take you kids.

Really interesting collection, some good simulation technology to keep kids enthralled

Great place to take the kids to learn about air a history.

Absolutely amazing day out, especially for small kids. They loved being able to get up close and see all the planes. Staff were super friendly. Couldn't ask for a better day out

You can go inside the cockpits of most of the aircraft

Absolutely beautiful place to visit and beautiful friendly staff and awesome how you can sit in cockpits of planes and see the smiles of kids faces when they see the buttons on cockpits truly and awesome place to take kids and grandchildren to create treasured memories

Good nice place to visit but only if you are going to Morrabin!! Its kind of a side dish:-)

Our little dude loved it. So exciting climbing in and out of planes, helicopters and "driving" a bus. Could barely keep up with him

It was nice experience for me as an avigeek.

interesting exhibits specially if you are an aviation enthusiast. Good for young children lots of cockpits to climb into and also an experience in a Boeing 737 widebody aircraft with seats, galley etc to play in.

Fantastic place!! Very interactive and a heap of fun for young and old alike. Get to sit in the cockpit of jets, airliners, helicopters and everything in between. Some good military history as well and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. To top it all off its very cheap as well. This really is a hidden gem.

It was very interesting and worth a visit.

Nice place for children

Fantastic Aviation museum very close to home.

A surprising little place packed with interactive exhibits. If you like sitting in plane cockpits, this place would be perfect for you. They even have an actual F-111C cockpit module that you can climb in for $25. Give it a go!

Such a great collection of Aircraft and aviation history and really enjoyed being able to get the full experience sitting in cockpits and simulator. So much to see, time flew bye! Thank you!

Great place to take your family and if you love airplane history

A great presentation and helpful staff. Enjoyed visiting there with my grandsons.

Great collection of aircraft and great displays. We enjoyed it very much and have visited numerous times.

This is Probably the best Aviation Museum I've Visited, It has so much History.

I love it here. At $10 dollars, so much history and practical things to do. If DFO gives you cold shivers head around the corner. Money well spent.

Great place to go as a family. Great for adults and kids alike. Interactive and informative, lots of planes to enter and interact with. Lots of fun for kids, not your average museum. Worth the money, so good and would go again

I was present here with my daughter on her friend's birthday. Its a nice place to visit and kids get excited about it but there is no mention of risk and safety here. There are a lot of sharp objects which can hurt your child severely. My daughter hurt on her eyebrows at this place from the aeroplane wings, and i had to admit her in an emergency. There were 6 stitches. This happened in mid December'21. The air museum representative didn't take this issue seriously and said this is our responsibility. Parents, you must go to this place but keep a eye on your child.

Great place to visit with interesting exhibits. Fantastic work by the volunteers to keep this history alive. Great for the family and help keep them going.

Take a step back in time! Family friendly, lots of information, awesome being able to get into the planes. We enjoyed this as a family very much and it wasn't expensive or too busy.

Excellent displays of all aircraft type including defence aircraft. Informative notations on displays. Situated at Moorabbin Airport handy for metropolitan visitors and organised guided tours.

Amazing place to visit, friendly team and nice range of aircrafts on display.

A great afternoon for my young son and I. Loads to see, touch, and talk about!

Great place for a casual family outing 😉. Kids loved it. Just the toys inside the gift shop are a bit overpriced

An excellent range of exhibits, many cockpits you are welcome to sit down in. Flight simulator is good but would be better if the controls actually did anything. Take some ear phones so you can listen to the online interactive audio guide.

It's a nice place for kids to visit, kids enjoyed the stimulator experience, able to sit in the pilot room for landing and taking off (pretending but there is video in front of them and audio for instructions) Small place, don't expect to spend a day here. Toilet facility is available but there is no cafe or food here. Plenty of parking outside. For a family of 2 adults and 2 kids, only $20 for a ticket.

Our son had a fantastic time Entry was cheap $20 for a family Lots of cockpits for the kids to jump in, very interactive unlike a standard musuem. Great for kids to play and use imagination

Great Museum - great way to spend a few hours. Love that you can go into the planes to view what they look like inside. Pretending that your a pilot is heaps fun!

Great work by Australian Govt. Awesome place for those who have interest in history and aviation as well. When you go there, you get a glimpse of aviation history and contribution of war aircrafts as well. A little addition must be done if there could be some sort of self explanatory guided tour around the crafts or maybe some staff to add up for little explanation. Otherwise it's a very nice place and must go at least once for sure if you're travelling to Melbourne.

Very nice experience and it was good going with 5 years above so that they will enjoy plane visit, even the adults will have an knowledgeable experience

My kids haven't stopped talking about this place. They loved being able to climb into various planes and especially the police helicopter. Great place to visit, but not very big, so you'll get to re-do all the planes/helicopters another time or few. Lots of information for the adults to read and learn also.

Well worth a visit. Highlights for me included the Mirage III, the Beaufighter, Fairey Firefly, and Fairey Gannet. Could do with a cafe but otherwise an excellent air museum with heaps of uniquely Australian exhibits and histories.

the staff are wonderful and passionate. planes are well kept. learnt a lot, it's a great experience seeing the progression and evolution of aircraft. I posted my favourite story

Great museum with lots of open cockpits. Very immersive experience. Keep coming back every couple years and always something new.

It was good place to visit if you are interested in airplanes. There are many interesting facts you could learn there. You are even allowed to sit on the airplane. There are amazing photo spots.
