Reviews
"Absolutely loved the museum. The story of the HMS Pandore is greatly narrated by audiovisual materials, text and original artifacts from the ship wreck. In the upper levels the natural history museum is also very interactive and explained, I particularly liked the exhibition of sealife and corals. Tickets for 15$ only and is suitable for kids as well!"
"We need to go more often. Loved the Action, Film, and War, Pandora, and the Walking through a Songline was beautiful. Rainforest, dinosaurs, and science areas were also fun and interactive. Tonka's corner β‘"
"Small interactive museum. Kids loved the hands on science room and the enchanted forest. Spent about 2 hours here, we did everything to do. Locals get half price entry, only available to purchase at door. Went on Easter Sunday and it was very quiet which was nice as the kids could spend time on things they enjoyed."
"Fantastic value. We were here for hours. Everything was interesting and informative, the kids had lots to do. We stopped at the cafe for lunch and coffee (both excellent). One of the volunteers told us all about the Pandora exhibit which was wonderful to listen to. I'm sure we would be here frequently if we lived closer."
