Nice place to visit. I not only enjoyed the view of the Shine of Remembrance itself but also leaned a lot about what happened in the past. It’s holly ground. Also can see the view of city from here.
The shrine of remembrance offers a wonderful war museum as well as stunning views over the botanic garden. There’s an eternal flame in the WWII forecourt. There’s no entrance fee but a donation is recommended. There’s a gift shop, cafe and restrooms in the visitors center. Street parking only.

Only been to the outside but it is beautiful.
It feels a bit like a mansion with a huge lawn.
There was a good burning in a pit out front and the architecture, view of the city buildings, and well manicured lawn were all amazing.
Breathtaking memorial! The whole history of wars! The entrance is free and there are card machines where you can donate! You will find a cafe, restrooms, and souvenirs! Don't miss the view from the balcony!
Nice place. Let’s try to visit at night. Very very beautiful and nice. We can talk together, see all the building, and we can view Melbourne at night.

Beautiful monument dedicated to remembering Australian fallen heroes in war. Night view was impressive due to quietness and no crowds. The constant fire is also solemn. There is a visitor centre to learn more. Great location that is easibly accessible by public transportation next to city centre.
I have been to the shrine itself a couple of times as I like to walk around the area but I’ve never been inside.
It was such an amazing and interesting experience to learn about the history of war of Australia. Exploring the shrine is free and there’s audio and video checkpoints that will tell you about the history starting in the 19th century until today. There are quite a few stairs going up to the top of building but you’ll be rewarded with a nice view of Melbourne.
The staff was very friendly and super helpful!

Shrine of remembrance is one of the historical monuments in Victoria. A great placement for it, amazing views all around, near to city. Nearby gardens are great for a picnic too. You can visit botanical garden which is a great place to be. You have ample of parking outside but please note it is paid till 6:30pm. However if you want to go inside you have to be there before 5pm and buy your tickets.
