3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2012

The ANU is literally as big as a suburb. Visit on the weekend when it is quiet. There are plenty of interesting buildings along with the School of Art Gallery and the Film and Sound Archive to keep you entertained. Worth a visit, but not exactly a tourist highlight. More

ANU has beautiful, peaceful grounds and they have tons of great coffee shops/cafes - many buildings have their own! It's a nice place to walk around and get the student/uni vibe for an afternoon. More

Beautiful campus. Pretty buildings. Lots of libraries. Union Court has a fantastic (for a uni) array of food outlets and shops. The standard of coffee on campus isn't incredible, but it's adequate. More

ANU is a large university campus with many interesting mid 20C buildings, sculptures, native trees and shrubs, great for bird watching amongst the mature gardens. More

Unless you are a student at ANU, most people wouldn't be interested (or have the time) to visit ANU. I recently did a quick walk through of ANU just for fun to do the heritage trial at ANU as the university has a rich history. Afterwards I thought I'd do a quick walkabout just for fun to see the rest... More
