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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What travellers are saying
- Fritz O1 contributionThe Opal Museum provides a wealth of beautiful exhibits and first hand information about the fascinating world of Australian opals. We took a guided tour with Tori, who was very, very knowledgeable and pleasant. Her enthusiasm about these Colorado gems was contagious.Written 5 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GregTrav28Orlando, FL685 contributionsReally enjoyed tue Lego Brickman dino exhibit. Didn't see much else of the museum but that exhibit was very cool even though it cost. Mainly geared for kids probably 6+ as our 5 year old didn't have the attention span dor some of the exhibits.Written 21 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sharon L4 contributionsThis place was awesome!! Truely a hidden gem of brisbane.
The lady greeting us at the counter was very cheery, and the other staff were polite, super friendly and willing to explain parts of the exhibits to us whenever we had questions. They were very knowledgeable and passionate.
The museum building has so much to look at and learn about. The exhibits are amazing.
The real star of the show is the HMAS Diamantina! I had so much fun walking through this ship!! There is so much attention to detail, so many decks and rooms to explore. So much fun and totally worth the visit!Written 21 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark TBrisbane, Australia77 contributionsWhat a surprise at this lovely place. Brisbane history preserved, although the trams weren't running it is still worth a visit and we will return when they are running.

- RebeccaAdelaide, Australia2,215 contributionsWorth it given the proximity to other attractions such as the Botanic gardens and near the bridge to the south bank. It is free to look through and the building itself is quaint and historic.

- Anthony SCoombabah, Australia1,172 contributionsThis museum is a great little free museum that is packed full of easy to read information and history. Lots of exhibits. The museum is very quiet so you can wander around at your own pace. It is hidden away in the Roma St Police station. However there is signs for it when you enter. Heaps of public transport close by including the Roma St Train Station and Bus StopWritten 2 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pete DWestern Australia, Australia185 contributionsThis historic house is a short 30min bus ride from Brisbane CBD and is a great example of a character Queenslander house that has been owned and maintained by a volunteer women’s group for many years. The house and it’s furniture represent a treasure trove of interesting antiques and historic objects. The volunteer staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Expect to spend an hour or so here. Perhaps longer if you partake in the cream teas.Written 5 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- robpolBrisbane, Australia6 contributionsAlthough on a small footprint, in the absence of atriums, gift shops and cafes, every square inch is devoted to the title of the museum. We have been to a number of motor museums and yet we learned fascinating new facts about the history of racing cars and bikes. The volunteers are passionate about the history of the displays and are happy to tell you as much as you'd like to know. My 15 year old son and I both enjoyed our visit. We'll be recommending this museum to our friends.Written 17 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
