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.

    Had a fantastic time at the AWM. We were the first members of the public in the newly opened oculus and cold war exhibition. The memorial is very well done, informative and detailed. Peter provided us with a great tour, and had interesting moving stories to share. Very worthwhile to visit!

    Although 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.

    My wife and I bought the tickets at place (we did not book them). As soon as you get the tickects you receive a map with more information about this place.

    You can enjoy walking along the place seeing many different kind of animals such as lions, tigers, giraffes....

    We did not know about this place before going to Canberra. Therefore, we could not plan properly our visit to this place as you can do other activities such as feed some animals or even spend a night there. However, we enjoied.

    Attended Questacon with hubby and 10 year old son. My son's favourite part was the Excite Level - lots of hands on activities.
    The Earthquake room was a good experience.
    Hubby enjoyed sitting under the moon.
    The Colour show was great - not too long, and a good educational session.

    Great view of Canberra and super easy drive up the hill to the lookout. Worth a trip, does not take long at all. Quite a few buses of tourists!

    There are exhibits inside and outside the gallery. This is a most amazing space to see the items on show, In fact the gallery itself is an architectural work of art and I spent as much time looking at this as I did on the various gallery exhibits.
    The whole place conjures an environment that just invites you to relax and absorb the art.
    It must be mentioned that it also has a very good cafe/restaurant

    Tidbinbilla is incredibly peaceful, and it's really amazing to see so many animals in a very natural environment. I've never seen so many bandicoots in my life! The talk from the staff about the koalas was really informative, and it was great to learn about their rehabilitation work. The visitors centre was unfortunately being renovated and was closed, but this just means we'll have to visit again. If you have access to a car I can't think of a nicer way to spend a day in Canberra.

    Head to the Captain Cook Memorial, this is where the water jet is. Note, only is switched on at 11am. Enjoyed a great coffee and breakfast in the restaurant near the museum.

    I 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.

    The gardens has been one of the most memorable and amazing places we have visited in Canberra (October 2024) we were amazed with the attention to details of every building, figurine, gardens, trains, flowers and international history. The gardens also had many interactive features for children (and very big children) to interact with. Well worth the trip and entrance fee, there is so much work that goes into this attraction, well done to the creator, gardeners, designers and I would imagine many more. We also enjoyed a lovely morning tea in the Cafe.

    If 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!

    My wife and I were there for a walk while enjoied seeing Australia's flora.

    There is a parking and you nees to pay it (it is cheap). Visit the botanical garden is free.

    I recommend to pick up a map before you get in, this way it will be easy to plan your visit.

    This place is amaizing!!

    Right next door to the National Gallery , a five minute walk next door. Mostly enjoyed the current selection, although I found one heavily featured artist to be a bit woke ( I guess a sign of the times)

    Absolutely stunning flower displays. Well organised although a few more food choices would have been helpful. Plenty of Floriade volunteers on site to answer any queries. We had a very pleasant day.
