Just a few minutes walk from light rail station. The staff at the entrance was nice and reminded you to get the map from the table.
The locomotives displayed on level 3 (Exit/Entrance ) are very eye-catching. Let's know the history of transportation in NSW.
The Space section is also interesting, especially the feeling of zero gravity and driving a rocket.
The experiment section is good for kids to experience science.
There is also a large area for displaying historical relics and contemporary art where more staff stand by. They can answer your questions about the exhibits. It does not display the exhibits chronologically.
I'm not sure about the theme of this museum. It also displays drag queen and fashion.

The museum was very interesting and I would recommend having a look at what displays they have up before going. For the main exhibit, children under 17 had free access and they also had sunflower disability lanyards at the front desk. It is a short walk from central station and has lifts for easy access within the building.

Beautiful museum with much to see in engines and various transports!
It has a very nice portion on space exploration, and another portion just on steam engines and trains.
A great place to bring your family to learn a bit about science.

Went to the 1001 Remarkable Objects exhibition. What a fantastic free event.

Saw some very cool things, old, not so old and random items. Really enjoyed it.

Got to see some old planes and space travel things as well!

Stumbled across this museum on a walk. I had great fun exploring it. There are tonnes of interesting exhibits, including trains, fashion, furniture, planes, science, space, and music.
It is a great place to bring children.
Entry is free.
The museum is fully disability accessible. There are accessible toilets. There are wheelchairs for hire, but these are limited, so it is best to call in advance.

Sunday museum stroll was excellent!
Cant believe i have never been to Powerhouse for the last 5 years in Sydney!

Love the interactive experiences and as I used to be major in Physics in high school this is like a trip down to the memory lane 😅😆 the museum has a huge range of exhibitions we cant finish them all before the museum closed.

Might come back some other days
