The National Science and Technology Museum in Canberra is really good. We used half a day to visit and study here. The two children have come more than once. Use sound, light and electricity to interpret the strange phenomena of nature, let us learn a lot.

Australian Library, one of the most beautiful libraries in the world that I used to be cheap, this library is not long after construction, but the books inside are still very complete, and there are cafes, lounges and other local equipment, which is still very complete.

The Australian Capital Exhibition Hall, which covers a super large area and is the largest exhibition hall in the area. If you go in, you will feel very atmospheric. If you are interested in Australia's history and development, you can come here to visit. Overall, it takes about 4 to 5 hours.

Canberra federal park, Canada, this park is very large, and this park does not charge tickets. There are also a lot of lawns here. Every time you can see a group of people picnic here, every September to October, this place is a sea of flowers, super beautiful, there are many people here.

Canberra's Cotter Dam is a very interesting place, the dam waterfall looks majestic than many natural dams There are two hiking routes to play, one is relatively short, you can go to a Lookout to see the dam underneath, this route is more trees, very easy, There is also a stream, called discovery trail. Another route is five kilometers back and forth, there is a small mountain bag, the scenery along the road is good, if it is a big day, it will be a little sun, you can go to the top of the mountain to see the dam, called HonyongWalking Track. Of course, it is not a problem to go both routes, and it will not be particularly tired. In addition to the dam itself, there are many small tables in the parking place for picnics and barbecue grills. There are also facilities where children can play, and there is also a stream next to it. I saw someone fishing, which is very suitable for family weekend trips.

Canberra's National Bell Tower is located next to the famous Ginninderra Lake, a monumental building with four-sided clocks at the top of the stone tablets that represent standard events in Australia. It is a symbol of national time here and very iconic.

Corkington Green Garden is a famous micro-landscape park in Canberra. Here, famous buildings around the world are built in different proportions according to the same style. It is a veritable miniature landscape park. There are many scenes on display, such as the Premier League, where there are several football players. It looks like you are actually watching a great Premier League football game and it is worth a visit.

I went there for the Last Post Ceremony (it's free but you still have to book tickets online) and it was quite interesting. The ticket to the ceremony doesn't grant you access to the other parts of the museum but if you have enough time and are interested in Australia's war and conflict history it looked well displayed.The War Memorial is also a great starting point for a hike up to the Mount Ainslie Lookout with a beautiful view over Canberra - especially great during sunset.

The National Museum of Australia, which stands near the gallery and some museums, feels like you can visit several nearby attractions and make a day trip. Personally, the museum is very design-oriented and not so boring, because its design is very abstract and forward

The National Portrait Gallery in Canberra is a very large museum of painting art, with many different styles of art, including sculpture, painting or photography.
