Queensland Museum
Linking the past, present and future, the Queensland Museum is sure to fascinate the kids. The first stop should be at the permanent Dinosaur Garden where visitors can walk among life-sized models of a Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops. Another popular attraction is the extremely rare German A7V Tank, called "Mephisto." Captured by Australian Troops during World War I, the tank is the only remaining German tank from that time period. From boomerangs to dung beetles and historical artifacts to hands-on science, the museum keeps guests entertained for hours.
The museum has venues available for private functions. Queensland Museum is open daily from 9:30 AM to 5 PM. It is closed Christmas and Good Friday. Admission is free, though some special exhibitions may require additional charges. For more information: +61 7 3840 7555
