"I would highly recommend to visit. Excellent. A great history lesson. My 9 young son absolutely enjoyed the visit . Did the kids quiz while looking and learning the history. The volunteers are great and knowledgeable. 10/10 well done"
"$15 entry is a bit steep for a museum that receives public funding from the Queensland government. Museums and art galleries should be free to the public so that EVERYONE can access them regardless of their income level."
"It was quite informative. I like reading about the WWII history and there is plenty of that here. The photo is a scale model of the USS Lexington which was sunk at the battle of the Coral Sea."
"Biggest problem I had during my visit was I run out of time. To read all the factual information you really need a full day, so much on display, models,videos to watch, articles to read. But really enjoyed it, but will need to visit again to finish off everything."

Cash only."
