We had a fantastic time at the museum, we were originally put off by the $14 per adult price, but it was well worth it. Very modern but in a beautiful setting, it was only a five minute walk once we got off the free city circle tram. Awesome dinosaurs and insects section, there was an exhibition of the deep...

Visited today with my 5 year old son. It was a terrible experience, overcrowded and chaotic in the experience. The museum was clearly just interested in making money and herding people through like cattle. The dinosaurs themselves looked amazing but hard to experience the interactive areas not worth the $90.

Large building full of different halls packed full of exhibitions. We came for the Jurassic World exhibition which was pretty incredible and am glad I checked feedback before arriving as it was smaller than expected but still great. The forest gallery was good for little ones especially the permanent resident bower bird!
Would recommend a full day here; dinosaur walk,...

I loved the dinosaur skeletons exhibit - much better than the animatronics in the Jurassic World experience.

Attended the Jurrasic Park exhibition today, which was awe inspiring. Much preferred the WW1 exhibition, few stories brought me to tears. Highly recommended.

At $14 adult entry fee, Melbourne Museum is cheaper than the cinema! Very educational, well laid out & easy to navigate we enjoyed the displays.
Unfortunately we arrived without breakfast & were disappointed at the offerings from the cafe. Coffee & a muffin, popular but not healthy! The menu on the board overhead was not available so maybe the caterer...
