What travelers are saying
- Alan FArgentina2 contributionsExcellent experience! If you ever been at Alcatraz prison in San Francisco, USA; definitely you’ll love this tour too. Our guide Sylvia was super funny and speaks so clear, English is second language for us and we got everything!Written September 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradHong Kong, China174,748 contributionsWe recently visited the Fremantle Market which is held from 9am to 6pm (Fri, Sat & Sun). This was an enjoyable way to spend a couple hours if visiting during market days. The market is made up of The Hall (shops) and The Yard (eateries) and is located within the historic building (1897) with interesting Federation Romanesque architecture.
Within you'll find around 150 booths setup selling all manner of gifts, clothing, accessories, skin care, boutique and handcraft items along with a fair number of simple eateries, veggie and food retailers. All was laid back, interesting and good bit of fun browsing, shopping and finding a bite to try while in Fremantle.Written September 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Admission fee is $15 per adult (less for concession). Recommended to allow 2-3 hours for a visit. Paid parking is available at the Museum, alternatively it's about 10-15 minutes walk from the area near Fremantle Market.
The admissions staff were friendly and welcoming and providing us with a quick overview of the Museum. Free tours are available twice per day (one morning, one afternoon).
We went for a stroll through the various galleries of the Museum, learning about the way that the sea and coast has shaped the lives of those living in WA, from first nations, pre-European explorers, European settlement, fishing industry, immigration, transport, pearling and recreation and sport (including America's Cup). Displays provide for various ages, including activities for children.
There are options to purchase additional tours (submarine) and experiences (movies). There is a cafe and gift shop.
The Maritime Museum is filled with information. The day we visited was fairly quiet; it was most enjoyable to spend some time in the Museum where it's warm and dry on a wintry day.Written September 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is not a big museum so an hour or so should be sufficient time to view the art there. Nice relaxing place.Written May 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas LyonsLondon, UK5 contributionsFantastic Museum located very close to Fremantle and manageable from Perth. The exhibitions were new, with the right amount of detail and diverse. There was a significant amount of Military equipment too and the volunteers were absolutely exceptional.
Visiting from the UK and being in the military, if my regiment had a museum anything like this then I would be ecstatic.
I visited with my elderly grandfather and he thoroughly enjoyed it too.
10/10 must visit.Written April 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was a sad story, well told with raw stories from descendants, but didn’t seem to say why many of them were incarcerated, why only aborigines or how it fitted into the Australian penal system.Written October 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,538 contributionsFremantle is a seaport with a long history as the entry point for new immigrants to Western Australia. St Patrick's dates back to the 1860s. It has since been designated as a Basilica. The current handsome building, constructed of hard-wearing local limestone, dates from 1900. St Patrick's is named after the patron saint of Ireland. The church has offered solace to many lonely newcomers to this port city.Written December 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ITRTVirginia44,656 contributionsSt. John the Evangelist Church is an Anglican church located in the center of Freemantle. Opened in 1843, it was replaced with a larger one in 1882. The original church was located on the site of the Town Hall. The exterior is made of limestone from a local quarry and the roof timbers came from the southern Australian forests. Among the stained-glass windows is the Rose Window depicting the four evangelists. In front of the altar is a wrought iron gate and to the side is a brass lectern. The organ is the first one built in Western Australia. Open to the public every day of the week.Written February 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
