    A highly recommended museum, brimming with craftsmanship, professionalism, and creativity. The museum is very user-friendly; both the layout and the way the exhibits are displayed are refreshing and innovative!

    Lovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there’s autumn leaves covering the walkways. There is even a small pond with some ducks in the corner. And right in front of the royal exhibition hall, there is a fountain where sometimes you will catch couples taking their wedding photos here.

    I have been there twice, once to see the pet show and once to see the flower show. It is so big, I have to say that the exhibitions organized by the event organizers are very considerate. I am very satisfied with both the pet show and the flower show. I saw all kinds of small animals at the pet show, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants at the flower show, as well as flower arrangements.
