Avoid Saturday Crowds
We were not provided a map so we did not know the location or organization of the exhibit areas and sometimes the displays had an disorganized flow. We visited on a rainy, Saturday afternoon and there were throngs of children running all around. They pounded away on any interactive exhibit, making it harder for us to enjoy the museum. My wife especially enjoyed the forest display in the middle of the museum with its unusual birds and animals. The dinosaur exhibit area was also very interesting. We spent a little over 2 hours at this museum but on a quieter day, we would likely have stayed longer.

Great place to spend 2 hours
Very underrated place in Melbourne. I am not a fan of museums, but I came here since my sister was in town, and I was just amazed by the place! The ticket is only $15 for adults, and you can include other tickets for their exhibitions. There is so much to see, but the most fun we had was in the Triceratops: Fate of the Dinosaurs and the Milarri Garden trail. There were also the First Peoples. Give yourself a couple of hours to go through everything. Must-visit.
