National Capital Exhibition

I was quite impressed with the displays and information available at the centre and it has beautiful views of Lake Burley Griffin.

The formation of Canberra and the planned development of its institutions. The National Capital Exhibition warrants an hour or two of your time to get a visual perception of why and how Canberra came about and why Canberra is Australia's National Capital.

I enjoyed this museum a lot more than I expected. It’s small, but well designed and jam packed with great information about the history and layout of Canberra. This was one of our first stops when we visited the city and it was a great introduction to Canberra. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable and the museum is free to visit. The views outside are also amazing, as is the nearby Commonwealth Park. We were lucky to visit at the same time as some school groups as we were able to see the interactive presentation over the display model (I think this only plays when school groups are there, which is a shame). Overall, a short stop, but definitely worth the visit!

Top welcome centre and museum. Heaps for kiddies and show cases Canberra beautifully!

The Floriade was great with a great variety of flowers. There was night markets, stalls and live bands. Do bear in mind this was for the floriade and not on everyweek.

There was a bit of construction and stuff going on so couldn't see much unfortunately. Nice walk around the lake tho. Public toilets were also being renovated which almost resulted in an embarrassing accident so warning would've been nice

A very well put together exhibition on the creation and design of Canberra. Good to see the development of the plan from the original design through to the current layout. Excellent view across the lake. Really enjoyed the old film about the creation of Lake Burley Griffin.

Great place to learn history of Canberra.

Floriade go by free floriade bus service as car parks fill very quickly

Great stop to learn about Canberra and had a decent amount of items in the shop which was local to the city.

Good to have a look when you are in Canberra.

This is our first time attending the Floriade in Canberra at the National Exhibition Centre. It is absolutely fantastic and gave people the feeling of festive season and spring. Although parking can be an issue, the garden itself is really exciting with all these flowers in different colors and shapes. Highly recommended if you are new to Canberra.

I really enjoyed my visit here so much history about the formation of Canberra

Big spring festival. I love flowers.

Great exhibits throughout the gallery, guided tour of featured artist are the way to go I believe

Simply amazing to watch such a powerful yet beautiful force of fountain. Its simply beautiful.. its where science n nature works together..well the park is good for family, joggers, picnic . If u r looking for Peace of mind, this is great place.

Visited the National Capital Exhibition for the first time despite visiting Canberra for many many years. Nice place to know all about Canberra’s history and story behind its construction. Got local liquor at reasonable prices.

Floriade 2023 it is. Mesmerising experience

Came for Floriade. Although this year didn't see any new and exciting additions, it was still a pleasant visit as always to Floriade. Wonderful flowers, nice stallholders and pleasant food. Pialligo estate is hosting most of the food this year and the meals were quite pleasant and standardly priced.

You should visit this place first when you arrive at Canberra. This place provides a complete guide to Canberra's recreational place. There are interactive map, photo booth, and even marchandise. You can also see Canberra's biggest water from the terrace. And that is a great view.
