Melbourne Tram Museum
Rail museum
👍👍 The Tram Museum is an absolute institution. I've been meaning to come for years, but never managed to make it to an open day. Well, I took my sons (4 and 6) on the weekend and we loved it! There is an incredible range of trams (more than I could have guessed) which all differ in big and small ways....

Children's Gallery (Melbourne Museum)
Exhibit
👍👍 A great place to spend a few hours with young children. You do need to schedule your time in the Children's gallery, as you only get ~40mins in there due to Covid-19 restrictions, but there is still plenty to keep your little ones engaged. Make sure to check out the Arboretum and seek out the Satin...

Movie theater
😠 Just visited the ACMI theatre whilst on a year 12 exam revision lecture, I made the poor mistake of purchasing an (overpriced) toasted sandwich, I was only given a 10 minute break to eat my food for the entirety of the day. After trying to renter the theatre I was told no hot food was allowed so I s...

👍👍 Such a beautiful venue for a wedding! I have attached over 30 pictures for reference. The parking is at the back: $30 until 4pm, and only $10 after 4pm :) The exterior is very well maintained. The wedding that I shot there had a little over 100 guests, and they all fit under cover very happily. We...

Islamic Museum of Australia
Non-profit organization
👍👍 Amazing place with a wealth of knowledge, i highly recommend my fellow Australians to head down with your family to find out some real fact about Islam. Some of my learning, slam shares the same Abrahamic heritage as Judaism and Christianity and, therefore, espouses many similar beliefs and practic...

😠 My daughter went to a huge amount of trouble to organize a lovely afternoon for myself, my Mother in-law, my Daughter and my best friend. You advertise that if you pay $23, per head, up front, you will be guarenteed a lovely Devonshire tea with your tour. Firstly there is no tour, you walk in the f...

👍👍 Absolutely phenomenal. The love and effort that has been put into showcasing the wonder of Australian opals shines out as you move from showcase to showcase. The rendering that has been put into the plastering to resemble the walls and roof of underground opal mines is so realistic that one would be...

Airways Museum

👍👍 The hidden gem of Melbourne's museums. Aviation history in the form of machines actually used by industry. The guides are retired airtraffc controllers and equipment maintainers so you learn from the source. They also have video nights of old videos. Well worth the gold coin donation entry fee.
