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
- ChizzamericaSouth Island, New Zealand769 contributionsSpent many hours at the Melbourne Museum exploring the multiple displays and areas; super fascinating and diversely interesting - for all ages. Might need to go back one day, as I’m sure we didn’t manage to fit it all in! Highly recommended, whatever the day & weatherWritten 3 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Garry PMelbourne, Australia17 contributionsStunning 1880's architecture. The Royal Exhibition building held Australia's first federal parliament.
There are beautiful gardens in the surrounds, and it's a short walk to Melbourne Museum and the CBD.

Large platters to share and all enjoyed dishes but needed sauces.Written 23 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mwizzAdelaide, Australia207 contributionsWe went to Melbourne specifically to visit this show. It was a great day out and much bigger than the Floriarde show in Canberra. Many great displays and many vendors to shop with. Also some good food choices for lunch. Would recommend this if you have not been there before.Written 2 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anna B3 contributionsI went there and saw a bar for snacks and drinks. Next I see the 3D Glasses and walked into the Cinema. The Screen was MASSIVE. We sat in the most COMFY Chairs. Will Come Back.Written 9 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA18,534 contributionsNice display of the Italian immigrant group, how they came to Australia and why. My favorite part was the time line that compares what was going on in Europe to what was happening to immigrants to Australia.Written 7 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mypoclav1 contributionThe technology is not quite on the level of "The Matrix" or "Ready Player One", but we still had fun.
The game we played very much reminded Portal 2 co-op, but played in VR.Written 13 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are picnic tables and BBQs and the playground has some very impressive tree houses and climbing equipment. I sat here to eat an icecream and was impressed with the huge Morton Bay Fig tree integrated into the playground.Written 18 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul LHallam, Australia997 contributionsA little slice of green space in the city not far from Melbourne University. It's about the size of a small city block.
Would you go out of your way to see it? No. It's just a small park area.
Does it have anything of artistic value you just have to see? No. As above.
However it is a pleasant area to 'take 5' if you feel the need and no doubt many university students over the years have done just that in between classes or similar.Written 19 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was built in 1880 for Melbourne's International World Fair. It is a magnificent work of art.Written 2 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Brad JPerth, Australia16 contributionsA big thank you to the very helpful ladies that I had the pleasure to meet while helping my wife to check in for her flight to Perth.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,682 contributionsReadings is a bookshop for connoisseurs. There is no better collection for bibliophiles in Melbourne. No-one minds if you browse to your heart's content. I had looked for a copy of "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" by Lawrence of Arabia. Fortunately, it was in stock, for my convenience. Readings is in Lygon Street, you can always pick up a special book.Written 13 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Simon BCity of Greater Geelong, Australia4,231 contributionsTwo decades ago I’d only go to Nova on cheap Mondays ha.
Guess advantage of full price weekdays is can sit comfortably without stranger beside.
Still a great cinema and does show more arty offerings .. nice.Written 27 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You are guaranteed quality work from this gallery, very experienced operators. The current exhibition of modern Australian art is worth a look, the gallery is in a wonderful old building a stones throw from the famous Lygon Street. We had the place to ourselves being near closing time on a week night we were offered tea on arrival and given all the time we needed to enjoy the art on display.Written 4 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
