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.

    Amazing tour. Very interactive and informative. Kyle was our guide, he made it fun and interesting for all ages. Definitely recommend the visit, they went out of their way to squeeze us on the next tour. Fantastic and definitely worth the cost.

    This is a faithful recreation of the hut that still exists in Antarctica to this day. Very informative and great value for money. The staff are passionate and keen to share their knowledge and there is a huge wealth of information throughout the displays. If you are interested in exploration from a bygone era this attraction is a must visit.

    A very welcoming and interesting collection of Maritime artefacts ranging from whaling to ferries to the Royal Australian Navy.

    The collection is set out over two flors and accessible by lift or stairs. There is so much history and interesting displays about Tasmania's nautical past.

    I particularly liked the original Commanding Officers cabin from the HMAS Derwent. The ship has been scuttled but the CO wanted the cabin saved. So cool to see everything exactly as it was back in the day.

    There is a nice gift shop and a great book collection for sale.

    Definitely worth a visit

    Wow...what a great little museum. Very interesting and my little grandson was enthralled with the exhibits. Highly recommend going on a day when the steam train is running. It's been a long time since passenger trains have run in Tasmania so it's a novelty to ride on one.

    It is unusual to see a historic house with such strong art and craft movement theme. Having the house preserved as how the family left it provided a sense of intimacy and integrity. The story behind the family was a history chapter of its own. Friendly staff and insightful information card for a self-guided tour. Garden was a delight.
