Nestled in the heart of Sydney at 2 Murray Street, the Australian National Maritime Museum is a treasure trove of maritime history, showcasing the rich nautical heritage of Australia. This vibrant museum is not just a collection of exhibits; it is an immersive experience that invites visitors to explore the stories of the sea, from ancient maritime traditions to modern naval endeavors. With its stunning location overlooking Darling Harbour, the museum offers a unique blend of education and entertainment, making it a must-visit for families, history buffs, and curious travelers alike.

At the Australian National Maritime Museum, dining is as much a part of the experience as the exhibits themselves. The on-site café offers a delightful selection of dishes that cater to all tastes. For a refreshing treat, try the "Seafood Platter," featuring a medley of fresh prawns, oysters, and calamari, perfectly paired with a zesty lemon aioli. If you’re in the mood for something heartier, the "Maritime Burger"—a juicy beef patty topped with tangy pickles and melted cheese—will surely satisfy your cravings. With stunning views of the harbor, dining here is a feast for the senses.

One of the museum's standout features is its impressive collection of historic vessels, including the replica of Captain Cook's Endeavour, which offers a glimpse into the life of early explorers. Visitors can also board the HMAS Vampire, a decommissioned naval destroyer, where the stories of naval battles and maritime strategies come to life. The museum regularly hosts temporary exhibitions that delve into various aspects of maritime history, ensuring there’s always something new to discover.

Situated in Darling Harbour, the museum is surrounded by a plethora of attractions. Just a short stroll away, you can explore the vibrant shops and eateries of the Harbourside Shopping Centre or take a leisurely walk along the waterfront promenade.

This is a must mention review. The Australian national maritime museum is the one and only museum that hosts all the maritime collections from the past that respects all the first nations. Apparently I work here as a volunteer and the experience is amazing. The museum holds all kinds of historic and modern vessels (boats) that were used for voyages back then with its exact condition or some in with exact replicas. The stories behind all of them are fascinating as you go around.
Another thing would be the galleries, they show all kinds of maritime collections as much as you can go deeper in understanding them is available. They also have a cafe with great variety of food options and a store to collect some goods by the museum. The staff is really polite.
This is a must visit place to explore the maritime experiences.  They also have different shows that depicts life under water.

This place is truly wonderful for families to spend time together. Children will have a remarkable opportunity to learn and explore, discovering so much about submarines, warships, and the mysteries of the sea. It's a great chance for bonding and creating memories while gaining new insights that can inspire curiosity for years to come.

Fascinating and interesting.  Exploring all of the vessels was astonishing and educational. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and keen to impart their knowledge . It is open from 10:00 till 16:00. You will need all of that time to complete everything.
