Highly recommended! Especially, it's fantastic to be able to visit the cruiser, submarine, and historic wooden galleon! There's a wealth of maritime knowledge and historical artifacts to explore. The staff and volunteers are all amazing!

Great museum we enjoy visiting with all our visitors in Sydney. In particular the submarine is impressive. But also the other vessels are awe-inspiring if you understand how many people served on these small spaces for such long times.
We repeatedly also come for amazing photography exhibitions. Make sure you arrive in style using a ferry from Circular Quay. :-)

Located in the heart of Darling Harbour, the Australian National Maritime Museum is a world-class destination that masterfully captures the nation’s deep connection to the sea. The highlight is undoubtedly the floating fleet; stepping inside the HMAS Onslow submarine provides a thrilling, claustrophobic glimpse into naval life, while the majestic HMB Endeavour replica offers a journey back in time. Inside, the galleries are equally impressive, featuring everything from Indigenous seafaring tradi

We had an amazing experience at the Maritime Museum! My little one and I spent a wonderful day exploring, and it was such a memorable outing. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the visit even more enjoyable. The museum itself is fascinating, with an impressive collection of exhibits. The photo gallery was especially great – we took some beautiful pictures! Highly recommend a visit for anyone looking to spend a fun and educational day out.

The boat tours outside of the museum are the best part. Museum itself was lacklustre. Lovely knowledgable tour guides- specifically the handful of ex-navy people that actually served on the boats & submarine. Find them, they are incredible, made my day!
