Queensland Museum Kurilpa | Brisbane

This was the first museum I've been too as an adult (All this time I thought you had to pay for entry but the general walk through is free) and it was a very enjoyable experience! I liked it so much I brought my sibling to walk through it the other day, it's a very nice experience especially on weekdays when it isn't too crowded. It's obviously a great place for kids and families but for young adults who like history and animals it's also pretty cool.

Month if visit: December 2023

Such a lovely place to bring your kids and family to get an entertainment and education at the same time!

We were amazed by the variety of animals here, my daughter cant stop looking at them and seems so happy.
Well maintained, organized and the shops also sells cute stuffs with some are affordable price.
Recommended to visit while you’re in Brisbane!

Our recent excursion to the museum proved to be an enriching and enjoyable experience, characterized by a diverse array of exhibits that captivated our interest. Of notable mention was the paid exhibit featuring LEGO Dinosaurs, an engaging spectacle that resonated with visitors of all ages, infusing a playful and creative dimension into our museum visit.

The interactive mosaic initiative within the LEGO Dinosaurs exhibit demonstrated a commendable fusion of education and hands-on participation. Guests were invited to contribute to a collective mosaic, resulting in an informative and visually striking infographic detailing various aspects of dinosaur life. This thoughtful engagement not only elevated the overall experience but also fostered a sense of collaboration among patrons.

In the spirit of transparency, we encountered the perennial challenge of locating restroom facilities in a somewhat unconventional placement within the museum premises. Though a minor inconvenience, it added a touch of humor to our journey. Additionally, given the museum's popularity, parking availability has become a notable consideration. Timely arrival is recommended to secure a parking spot and ensure a seamless commencement of the museum exploration.

When I vitiated there last time, it was a bit hectic to enjoy the exhibition due to lots of little ones and families, but that's what museum need for. Actually it was lovely to see this museum packed with children and family.

Hours of learning, sensory experience & play.
Very well appointed staff that were engaging and thoughtful, several taking their time to have conversations & bring more wonderment.
Cafe had excellent healthy ranges of snacks.
Adequate room and was clean after tables cleared away.
Not too crowded - given it was also school holidays.
Such a fabulous day spent as a family.
Thank you.
Thoroughly enjoyed & appreciate this wonderful experience.

Lots of cool stuff. When I went there was a lot of stuff about bugs and dinosaurs. Free entry for the main part. Always really interesting

Fantastic museum, easy access by public transport. So much to see, we spent nearly a whole day there looking at all the amazing things! We also went to the dinosaurs of Patagonia display that was on, just amazing!! Toilets were clean, cafe was lovely too, overall a very good experience!!

It's free! Great place with lots of history, the dinosaur section was amazing! They currently have a new Lego Jurassic World exhibition there as well for $29.90 per adult and $19.90 per child. With a family ticket (2 adults + 2 kids) at $84.
Definitely a good place to bring children.

I had no idea this was free, great place to see all weird and wonderful creatures of Australia well set out great displays. Some areas it was poor lighting but a great day out.

I really enjoyed spending an afternoon at the museum, it's small but it's interesting and exciting. If you enjoy visiting museums, then make a stop here . The art gallery is just next door and dozens of amazing places for food just a short, lovely walk away.

The time spent there with family was the highlight of my life, and I highly recommend visiting with your loved ones.

Great museum. It is somewhat of a science center for children. Do not miss the war museum on the bottom floor.

The areas to visit that are free are amazing with interactive spaces for kids👏 🙌 I would rate them over the paid dinosaur exhibition 😀

We had a great day, we haven't been for many years since we took our kids. Totally changed and has definitely improved and has a great layout. Really enjoyed downstairs the war museum and look forward to seeing that grow. Great day out for adults and kids.

Always enjoy visiting the Queensland Museum. We were eager to check out the updated Dinosaurs Unearthed exhibit - the hybrid of technology & old school display is used effectively. There does seem to be bit of empty space around the museum though. I highly recommend the temporary Dinosaurs of Patagonia exhibit. My second time through and it is still awe-inspiring! Once in a lifetime opportunity for my 71 year old Mum - she was like a big kid again. Mum has mobility issues and the accessibility options were great. A very friendly staff member even escorted us upstairs in the staff/freight elevator when we realised mum would have to walk down the far end to use the regular elevator only to walk back to the opposite end for entry to the Patagotitan exhibit.

Value for money on an entertainment level is awesome here, the downstairs dinosaur and insect exhibit that is free is so engaging and full of amazing sections (lots of butterflies and bugs!). The current Jurassic World exhibit is also really wonderful, lots of activities for the kids to participate in too. The museum cafe and food options have a decent selection, although very busy every time I attempted to dine so was quite glad I packed lunches for the kids.
My main tip would be to pre purchase tickets for your entry time!!

Well, what to say, it was my 1st visit to this museum and I wasn't disappointed at all, although it's not very large , but is well set out ..
The Patagonia dinosaur exhibit was most interesting and informative.
I do think if you get the chance, pop in for a looksie ..

At the moment there is a dinosaur and bugs exhibition, it was really enlightening. I learned a few things about meteorites and ants nests.
The coffee inside is not very good to be honest.

Our family had a great time at the Brickman Jurassic World Exhibition at the Queensland Museum. The LEGO structures were intricately crafted with attention to every detail. The interactive exhibit allowed us to build our own LEGO creations. It was a delightful experience for all ages and a perfect family outing. The exhibit sparked curiosity about the Jurassic era, making it a must-visit for families seeking an educational yet enjoyable experience during school holidays. Kudos to the dedicated team behind this immersive journey! 👉 Jurassic World by Brickman® 8 December 2023 – 14 July 2024 #jurassicworldqm #jurassicworldau #queenslandmuseum #brickmanexhibitions

Absolutely great museum. Kids love going there, lots to see and learn about. Great to see some of the live insects they have on display as well.
