Powerhouse Ultimo

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.

There are some great sections, and then there are some not so much. Kids may enjoy the exhibits on space and old trams, trains. Entry is free, and there are school tours often here. Guidance on exhibits can be better, and a map with the recommended path can help. A nice experience for may be 2 hours. Interactive sections on science, space, and old steam engines will keep kids happy.

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.

August 2023: Another great visit to this museum which has new and interesting shows including fashion, space technology, drawing, contemporary installations, Pacific art and a new upcoming show that looks spectacular from the viewpoint, 1001 remarkable objects. Early 2023: Amazing museum and so much to discover. The clay and Zampatti fashion exhibitions were spectacular. The fashion was outer worldly. The space and transportation shows were very impressive too.

Love love love this museum!! My kids had a blast experience here, they didn't want to leave!! So many things to see and try! Many cool science experiment displays, so much better than in Wollongong one. Even for us adults, it was a fun experience! The best part: it's free!!

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.
