Powerhouse Ultimo

Stumbled across this museum on a walk. I had great fun exploring it. There are tonnes of interesting exhibits, including trains, fashion, furniture, planes, science, space, and music. It is a great place to bring children. Entry is free. The museum is fully disability accessible. There are accessible toilets. There are wheelchairs for hire, but these are limited, so it is best to call in advance.

It's amazing display of a museum. So many things to see from its different eras of products. There are four levels of buildings to see. Don't worry, they provide escalators and lifts! Toilets and shop including cafe (try their orange cake!) To visit this museum by bus 501 from Central or just walk from Chinatown (paddy's market). Note : come now before they will renovate it on next February. Free of charge.

Located at 500 Harris Street, Ultimo, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺. This was a really great day visiting Powerhouse Museum. It has a wonderful range of artifacts ranging from Movie Memorabilia, Space Travel Memorabilia and Australian Railroads Memorabilia to so much more. I found it so interesting and couldn’t recommend enough.

We visited the Power house Museum last January , we just walked from one museum to another. No entrance fee . Highly recommended when visiting Sydney. It has memorable artifacts from Australian railroads space travel and many more. Lots of interesting displays.

Just a few minutes walk from light rail station. The staff at the entrance was nice and reminded you to get the map from the table. The locomotives displayed on level 3 (Exit/Entrance ) are very eye-catching. Let's know the history of transportation in NSW. The Space section is also interesting, especially the feeling of zero gravity and driving a rocket. The experiment section is good for kids to experience science. There is also a large area for displaying historical relics and contemporary art where more staff stand by. They can answer your questions about the exhibits. It does not display the exhibits chronologically. I'm not sure about the theme of this museum. It also displays drag queen and fashion.

We visited the Powerhouse Museum (Darling) on January 2, 2024. Because Sydney is a very walkable city, we walked there after we finished visiting another museum. This one in Darling is near Chinatown / Paddy Haymarket. The cost was free which made it even better! The museum was amazing. I loved the various exhibits with a focus on steam engines. It was fascinating how the use of steam powered so many things from a printing press, to a fire engine. They also had various instruments on exhibit as well. We met a wonderful employee that provided in-depth information. If you love technology from the past, you must visit! I also encourage anyone with children to visit too. They had a cool exhibit for the kids.

Update- museum is closing down for an upgrade. Many of the exhibitions are gone currently. Managed to explore within an hour. Looking forward to when they reopen with everything Previous review Awesome museum where you can easily speaks 2-4 hours here. I throughly enjoyed the steam train section and the old train station board. Little ones enjoyed the interactive side to the museum. They had a bast. Best of to prepare some food and water.

Great day out with kids. There are lots of interesting displays and some interactive aspects plus the size of the venue makes a first time visit even more a discovery adventure with new things to see around every corner. Quite easy to spend most of a day here and the cafe upstairs served nice lunch also a good spot for a quiet break. Very pleased to have the opportunity to see the Apollo 11 displays and the steam engines running.
