- Jane PRapid City, SD29 contributionsThe exhibit of the various boats and sailing vessels that people have used to travel and immigrate was the best part and easily missed if you didn’t stumble onto the entrance to that exhibit.Written November 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anne SLeeds, UK616 contributionsCame here as part of an excursion from our cruise ship. The B-52 is the star of the show and it's enormous. They have a viewing gallery so you can see it from above and you can even see inside the cockpit. There are lots of other aeroplanes to see, as well as the wreck of a Japanese Zero.Written December 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anne SLeeds, UK616 contributionsCame here as part of an excursion from our cruise ship. We only had an hour here which wasn't really enough time to see everything. The outside areas are not well-maintained but there are lots of interesting things to look at, such as WWII harbour barrage and the intact coastal defence gun emplacement. Well worth a visit if you're interested in WWII.Written December 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jack198612Bradford, UK57 contributionsHaving seen this gallery mentioned on Facebook I felt had to come and see for myself
Every piece of work I wanted
Better yet it feels relaxed and no pressure to buy.
Loved the fact that artists paint both on and off site and come and go to suit themselves
It added authenticity to me to see the artists at work and I was also lucky enough to see an artist bring a piece of work in.
If you’re in Darwin it’s easy to find and close to the city centre.
Travelling on a budget, the prices were better than expected.Written June 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
