This place is a good activity for the whole family. Good to kill a couple of hours out of the sun. Very easy location in the heart of Surfers Paradise. More

Fantastic as always! Second time I have been and managed to kill a few hours walking around all the displays. Interesting for all ages would probably go back again if I went back to the Gold Coast A++++ More

Went during the Easter break. Thankfully wasnt too crowded. The staff was pleasant. The collection begins rt from the entrance itself. The collection could be improved by making it more interesting. The entry fee is high. More

We spent a couple of hours here, I definitely think you need a fair chunk of time to read everything and truly enjoy it. We had vouchers for adults at kids prices so it was definitely worth it for us. I loved it but it was not something I would do more than once. More
