MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY REVIEWS
One of the best museums I've been to in Australia! And free admission. NATSIAA Art Awards were showing. Amazing work. Recorded memories of the cyclone in 74 are engaging. The large exhibition of real boats is impressive and the accounts of travel from Vietnam touching. Overall, so much to see here, great cafe, and beautiful location by the water. An excellent resource and way to spend half a day in Darwin.
Free admission. Donation will be appreciated. Learn some history about Darwin the Tracy the cyclone and aboriginals people and arts and animals around this area. Good place to go for a hot weather. And also good to bring your kids. Recommend allow 1-2 hour for this Museum or even longer if you have a relax travel schedule. Gift shop has a lot to sell and the staff are friendly.
Fantastic museum with free entry. I loved how there was art, natural history, boats and a great Cyclone Tracy Museum. This is a great place to learn more about Darwin. All the exhibits were top notch. There's plenty of free parking right there and admission is free.

George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens, situated in Darwin, constitutes a botanical garden with an interesting history. It originated as the third endeavour by early European settlers of Darwin to establish a venue for assessing the viability of economically significant plants in tropical conditions. Initially, the garden primarily concentrated on economic horticulture and decorative plantings. However, in 2002, the gardens were renamed in honour of George Brown, recognizing his significant contributions and dedicated 32-year service to the garden's development. Accessible via multiple entrances, the main hall and visitor parking can be found along Gardens Road, with available public transportation options nearby.

CROCOSAURUS COVE REVIEWS
I had a good time. I appreciated the free shows and the exhibits. I think if you have some spare time it’s worth a visit. I think there lift was out of order which if true would be a pity for people with disabilities and prams. I suggest calling first to confirm.
Super fun experience we booked the crocodile cage experience and it was a once in a life time activity. If you’re going the cage of death is a must do. The included show and activities were really fun too. Great little gift shop and cafe. Not a whole day experience only need 2 hours here max.
The kids had a fantastic time looking at the crocodiles, fish, snakes and lizards. The staff were very friendly and interacted with the kids. Make sure to get to the shows. Kids and adults alike loved patting the snake and blue tongue lizard and getting photos with the baby crocodile.
