👍👍 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 wel...

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...

HMAS Castlemaine
Museum
😠 All is good until I saw the displays talking about the western invasion to China in 1900. As a Chinese, I can say the contents in the museum are very offensive and inaccurate. First of all, the boxers are not the reason that China was invaded by 8 western nations. The real reason was money. The Eur...
