Been to the museum a couple of times but it was my first time at the shooting range yesterday. Had an awesome time with my Dad and highly recommend making the visit to the museum and shooting range. Great experience and so much to look at

Awesome local attraction. Something different than most places on offer in Cairns. Great for its education factor. A stunning collection of military vehicles and historic artifacts. They even have the tank set from the film Fury! Well worth the visit. P.S. Doing this business for report testing to see if responses are automated
Called into this wonderful repository of military history again. I don't get up to Cairns very often, the last time was 2018 and I was so looking forward to seeing the new displays this time. I followed along with a small group tour (about 7 people) with Paul - a local volunteer military historian which was very entertaining and informative. You could spend several hours here, wandering around on your own just to skim over all the exhibits. It's the best exhibition I've been to. Thanks again to everyone in Cairns for their dedication to preserving these magnificent pieces of history.

Very interesting and lots and lots to see. The kids absolutely loved it. Just wish I had more time to spend there. We got there to late in the afternoon and didn't have enough time to see everything.
Very nice place. Very open. And the tanks inside are very fascinating. Much larger then i expected. Personally the best armour museum ive ever been too. But very very hot during summer. There is no air conditioning except for a few very large fans on the warehouse ceiling. Tanks are extremely well maintained. They have a small seating area for drinks and a mini playground for very young kids. The gift shop there is also a very good place to get tank related toys and hobbies for kids and adults. Including detailed models of the tanks seen in the museum. Good place recommend to see during winter. But its sweltering during summer
An unbelievable, experience I have been to many museums throughout Australia but this one is well above board. The firing range is excellent the stuff positive, helpful and friend the range of vehicles is unbelievable!! The work and money put into this collection is simply breathtaking and a real crown in the cap. If you love Tanks and artillery this is for you! More and more vehicles are being collected annually
Easily one of the best military museum I've ever been too. The amount of exhibits was very surprising. Being able to touch and look closely at all the tanks was definitely the highlight for me. We spent 4 hours there. I could have easily spent a lot more time there. The battle field relics like the Panthers and panzers were my favourite. The story these machines could tell would be incredible. Even the visible damage gave you an idea of how the tank met its fate. I would have really liked to learn an in depth story of how each and every one of these machines came to being in Cairns. Maybe an individual machine history on the display placard? If you are interested in military history in the slightest this museum will not disappoint. I'll be planning another trip from Brisbane to experience the open hatch day. Safe to say if I lived in Cairns I'd probably get my moneys worth out a yearly pass. Luke
