Very poignant & interesting, well thought out detail of history relating to ANZAC'S & other wars. Would highly recommend.

So much more than the centre, maybe an hour or so for the centre then at least a half day to do the rest. The centre is excellently presented with the added multi media displays plus your own personal audio commentary.

This is a must for all Australians. Such a beautiful dedication to our ANZACS. There is a lot to see so take your time and watch all the videos and listen to all the stories. Heart wrenching and poignant. The views are magnificent. Don't miss the talk given by one of the volunteers about the ANZACS story and indeed the story of Albany in relation to our diggers.

What an amazing place. Location is special and beautiful. You get a soldier's card from WWI. You learn about him and others as they tell a the story visually and audibly. A must stop. We're so glad our cruise ship stopped in Albany.

This is an amazing memorial where visitors are given a card with the name of a member of the forces who left Albany for Europe at the end of 1914. You can follow this person's journey throughout your experience. The memorial is situated overlooking King George Sound where nearly 40000 left for Egypt before going on to Europe and Gallipoli. Over one third who left never saw the Australian coastline again. The museum has audio players and wonderful displays pictures and film footage. The memorial room has a display of the names of those who made the ultimate sacrifice with the digital display underneath the rippling water as it makes its way to the panoramic windows. I've not seen anything better. Lots also to see in the grounds and surrounds with the gun emplacements still able to be viewed. Highly recommend this for all visitors and is suitable for all ages if guidance is given.

I visited the museum today and was very surprised by the size. The actual museum is indoors and well layed out. They have a lot of media and IT that is easy to use and provides amazing information. Inside the museum they also have volunteers that wonder to assist and answer any questions. Outside they have ships guns, torpedoes, gun pits, coastal defences, amazing scenery of the bays, coast. Absolutely worth a visit. To note they off any serving or Ex Defence member a very generous discount. The gift shop also offers a lot of items to make your trip memorable.

A brilliant memorial to all of the service men and women who left the shores of Australia to fight, many never to return again, either alive or well. A fantastic balance of historic detail and storytelling. Four hours flew by. Followed by a wonderful lunch at the facility restaurant.

I found the Anzac centre disappointing as it is a thoroughly modern museum using too much hi tech and not enough of the people. The idea is that you take a card and follow the story of a particular person through their experience of the First World War. You got to access computer screens to access the info and certain points in the museum. There was also films running on loops and auditory sections. It is well done for what it is, but I find I get more from looking at artefacts from real people eg the rations packs or the field medical packs, the toys of the children in one of the fort buildings. That’s how I feel involved in the lives of the individuals. Too modern and fancy for my taste which feels lacking in soul.

Great tribute to the ANZACS. The unique Follow a Soldier concept is both entertaining and educational. The soundtrack of soldiers marching is hauntingly moving and emotional. Respect!

The National Anzac Centre is a remarkable monument acknowledging the last staging post before sailing to the Middle East for convoys. The displays are very informative and the two main digital explanations are a great way to engage the viewer. The views across the sound and harbour are evocative, however there is so much emotion it is hard to spend much more than an hour.

By following a particular individual, you get a more intimate story about the events of the times. Great venue on a very scenic site.

Everyone coming into the centre is given a card with a person who served in the war on it. You can follow their journey around the exhibit from enlistment to life after the war. The exhibit has been well thought out and has some interesting spaces to contemplate what happened to all those young men so long ago. Recommended for anyone who wants to understand what our ANZACs endured and why we remember their sacrifice every April 25.

Could have spent alll day, here, what an amazing tribute, exhibition to the ANZACS. So much to see and do. the displays are so detailed and informative, Loved the scan to listen and interactive displays. Lots to walk around and experience too. An amazing place not to be missed. Unfortunately the Cafe not open all the time so missed out on that experience and had leave to go back to town for a coffee. We could have come back as the ticket allowed us all day viewing.

The centre has been set up exceptionally well. The character cards add a nice personal touch and really do draw you further into the experience. The audio experience was also fantastic and gave real insight to the conditions and perils of conflict. We all learnt new things and came away with a renewed appreciation for our soldiers, even our 6 year old. Leave plenty of time to fully immerse yourself in the experience!

Thanks National Anzac Center containers a lot of stories about Anzac troops leaving Albany on convoy ships bound for Gallipoli. On entering you are giving a soldier's card & you can follow him through WW1 . If you have a DVA card ( white or gold ) you can get a discount for entry. On entering you are giving an interactive auda box to use in the center. Allow plenty of time to take in all the displays. Highly Recommend
