The Australian Museum was such a cool spot to visit! The dinosaur exhibition was absolutely mind-blowing - seeing those massive skeletons up close really makes you feel tiny. The Indigenous Australian cultural displays were really eye-opening and taught me a lot. Spent about 3 hours there but could've easily stayed longer. The $15 entry fee was totally worth it. One tip though - it gets pretty packed on weekends, so try to go early or on weekdays if you can. The gift shop has some neat stuff too, but a bit pricey. If you're into natural history or just want to learn something new, definitely check it out. Perfect for a rainy day in Sydney!
