Melbourne Museum in Carlton combines dinosaurs, natural history, First Peoples exhibitions, Melbourne history and a living forest with a dedicated Pauline Gandel Children’s Gallery for babies to five-year-olds. The Children’s Gallery adds hands-on play, a dinosaur dig and outdoor discovery garden to the broader museum experience.
Good to know
- The Pauline Gandel Children’s Gallery requires a separate free timed-entry reservation in addition to museum admission.
