Australian National Maritime Museum

This huge museum covers Australia's naval history in full and offers plenty of hands-on exhibits to keep you entertained. Explore the biggest collection of historic vessels in the world, which includes a replica of Captain Cook’s HMB Endeavour and former Navy destroyer HMAS Vampire. Or, get stuck into the Action Stations experience and take a hi-tech, immersive journey through military life. It's not just about boats here either. You'll find exhibits dedicated to Australia's Aboriginal history and the country's unique geology too. Take a free guided tour led by one of the museum's volunteer guides and find out everything you need to know about the museum's vessel collection. Families and kids will love the Sydney museum’s hands-on arts and craft activities in Kids on Deck.
