  有炸鱼薯条但贵，建议自带便当。展厅种类很多，从人文到地理都有。历史那块很适合小孩子、也有很多互动的设施，可以触摸感受。  more »

  There are fish and chips but expensive, it is recommended to bring your own light. There are many kinds of exhibition halls, from humanities to geography. The history block is perfect for kids and there are plenty of interactive facilities to touch and feel.

  Amazing natural science exhibits. I loved the section on bugs and the extensive beetle and butterfly displays. Totally amazing! I was mesmerized. The taxidermy animals were very cool too, especially the examples of native animals and the extinct specimens, such as the Thylacine. Definitely enough to see and learn to make your brain feel like it's melting out your ears :) General museum admissions is $15 for general or free for concession.

  We had limited time on our hands when we got to the museum so we had a quick look around on the outside. The displays looks very interesting and we will definitely be back to have a look inside the museum. Externally, it is a modern looking building with the entry facing south. There are two large roof panels in front of the building that rises up to the east and the west. On the northern side runs a dark grey wall along the entire boundary.
