Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- BeijingEyeDubai, United Arab Emirates413 contributionsAlthough Parliament was not sitting, well worth a visit. Security staff were very friendly and made suggestions so as not to miss anything. Highlight is the roof top visit.Written 9 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AussieVGMarsfield, Australia476 contributionsI love a visit to this museum, and it was a pleasure to revisit as a parent with the toddler. The exhibition halls are a great mix and perfectly engaging for all ages. We also visited the discovery centre which was brilliant. We did get lost a bit, more signs back to the exit in the outdoor space would be welcome.Written 14 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jimmyram19xxLondon, UK10 contributionsIf you love politics and a bit of history this is a fabulous museum. From the exhibitions to taking in both chambers of the house along with a hefty dose of 70s/80s design and furniture, spending 2-3 hours here will not be wasted!Written 29 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tamsin HSydney, Australia781 contributionsA very different experience from the last time I was here. Refurbished interior different entrance and no object gallery.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia52,597 contributionsThe Australian Academy of Science building must be one of the most amazing structures in Canberra worth seeing. We have seen it several times, but unfortunately have never been able to go inside. Be that as it may, they don't make them like they used to!!!! This is a place you have to see if you are in Canberra.Written 21 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David BRayong, Thailand9,409 contributionsI was staying with my brother and his wife in Canberra, and being Sunday, and they being Christians, they were heading to their church, the Presbyterian Church of St Andrew.
While I am not a Christian, in a spirit of family solidarity I went with them.
St Andrew's is the cathedral church of the Presbyterian community in Australia. Building started in 1929 but was not completed until 1934, Further extensions and additions were made in 1948, 1955 and 1962.
It is a large church of yellow sandstone, with stained glass windows and solid wooden pews. It has a Gothic feel to it, but I am not an expert of church architecture.
The minister and the congregation were most friendly and made me feel welcome.Written 21 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The servers are friendly and professional and the food is decent. Beautiful old building and well worth a visit.Written 21 July 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- auriel bCanberra, Australia144 contributionsAll Saints was dismantled and transported to Canberra in 1950s from Sydney. It has been a community church undergoing gradual and sensitive modernisation over the years. Well worth a visit if you are interested in history.Written 7 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Phil JCanberra, Australia1,644 contributionsBuilt in 1966 by the Corps of the Royal Australian Engineers. This is a medium sized chapel on the grounds of the Australian Royal Military College (RMC) the training college for officers of the Australian Army. It provides church services for both Catholic and Anglican members of the base and the wider community and is a particularly popular venue for military weddings. It provides a spiritual centre of the College for members of the Corps of Officer Cadets and for staff. It conducts prayers and church services for Australian troops and their families in conflict and in peace It is often used for the funerals of past and serving members of the Australian Army. For those reasons it is a place, even if you're not religious, of deep spirituality and significance.It is not big on decoration, peeps deliberately being quite plain.Written 12 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
