"Amazing experience, my 2 year old loved it. There are so many activities for the kids. Was amazing to see all the older fire trucks and wagons. Would be cool if their was a replica we could sit on and take photos."
"Cool displays of a time lost in the past... sometimes I wish I could time-travel to experience what it would have been like. Interesting things to look at and discover. Great things for kids to experience and play on!! Highly recommended for a half day out... ❤ much respect to the firies past and present and lost in battle. ❤️❤️❤️"
"Took our kids, 5 and 3, there during wet school holidays. They absolutely loved it. Highly recommend you go on a day where truck rides are scheduled. The kids loved drawing stations, lots of climb-on attractions and watching educational videos (that passed the retention test in the afternoon!). We spent about an hour and a half there, and had to basically drag them out of there. The shop has some reasonably priced things for a token souvenir. Miss 3 asked all afternoon when we were going back."
"Great place for kids and adults who enjoy all things about fire trucks and fire stations. Love how they sell the outfits and hard hats at the entrance that way the kids can wear it straight away and walk around the museum making them feel part of the experience. My favourite area was the library wall where old fire journals were kept. So much history it makes you appreciate the place more. Definitely worth the visit."
