National Rose Gardens Tours and Activities

As the building most associated with political power in Australia, treading its one-time corridors of power can be both educational and a little thrilling.

So much more than just dusty collections of paper, the National Archives of Australia bring their millions of records to life, with tours, exhibitions and lectures.

The vast collection of intimate portraits of people famous and otherwise is illuminated by as much natural light as possible in an elegantly designed setting.

The Questacon lets you walk on the wild side of science and technology, with over 200 exhibits tailored to get your heart pounding and your brain doing somersaults.

Observe justice in action at the highest court in the land inside a modern edifice on the banks of a tranquil lake.

The styles may be wide-ranging, and the content globe-spanning, but the National Gallery takes most pride in its stunning collections of native Australian art.
