National Anzac Centre, Western Australia, Australia
5.0 (2.128 reviews) Sunday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Price Range: from $16.94 Ranking #3 in Albany Speciality Museums
A must visit
It’s not as big as you’d think but the interactive displays will put a tear in your eye for what WWI was about. It’s a bit pricey at $25 but the money goes to a good cause, our freedom, the story of the light horse brigades especially pulled my heart strings. It’s also surrounded by a beautiful park overlooking King George Sound, so stay a while after your visit, find a tree and have a picnic lunch. It really is a powerful place and peaceful at the same time

Amazing trip back in time.
A truly amazing place of discovery. My wife and I spent over 2 and a half hours in here and we could have easily gone back and spent another 2 or even 3 hours, going over things we missed the 1st time. My Grandfather fought at Passchendaele, he was 21 yrs old and suffered serious injuries. I was able to see where he fought, the conditions, the terrain, the mud and wet, the blood and death. It is a gut-wrenching journey and one I recommend that everyone who is able to go and see for themselves, does so. It is a place I believe young people should also visit and see just what the men and women of the ANZAC did for this country and for each of us who are here today.

So well done except the cafe
We travelled from Denmark with a plan to have coffee first and then tour around. The Garrison cafe was not open. Ticket office thought it opened at 11 but we saw a cafe staff member arrive and were told it was 1130 opening and drinks only with full meal! No opening hours displayed. The exhibition was good and easy to follow on the headset. Some of the letters home you listen to are a bit long but other stories were interesting. 2 of our 6 were disappointed in the subjects we were given to follow as they didn’t really tell you much. (Mine was the Padre who spent most of the War ill from a hearing defect he had before the War.) Good map of the harbour showing the fleet leaving port. Worth visiting the other exhibits and walking to the top. Unfortunately there was no cart operating so our other 4 had to miss many exhibits because of walking difficulties. (We left feedback about the non availability of the cafe and had reply but not very encouraging. We have experience and what the Museum should have done is leased the venue with a requirement for certain opening times and services as there is no other cafe close by). Friendly staff in the museum who must tire of repeating the instructions but didn’t show it.
