Looking for amazing Canberra family activities? We have the perfect suggestion for your next weekend adventure! The National Museum of Australia (NMA) isn’t just a place for quiet reflection. It is an absolute powerhouse of fun, learning, and brilliant experiences for kids of all ages.
This national treasure is a must-see for anyone living in or visiting the ACT. Best of all? General admission is always free!
The main Museum galleries have plenty of fascinating things to see. They bring Australia’s rich and complex history to life through incredible objects.
A walk through the Landmarks gallery is a fantastic, free activity. Your kids can see a piece of Phar Lap, an original Holden prototype, or even objects from famous historical moments. It’s much cooler than reading a textbook!
The NMA always has exciting special exhibitions running too. Always check the official website’s “What’s On” section before you visit.
This makes the NMA a great destination no matter the time of year. For quiet days at home, they even offer free online learning resources. These help keep the historical discoveries going!
