The RAAF Museum at Point Cook is a great curation not just of planes but of a journey through the RAAF, examining history and experiences. Volunteers are eager and welcoming. If you can time your visit appropriately, make sure you are there for the 1pm flying display (on Thursdays and Sundays if I'm not mistaken - but check the website) where pilot and commentator are happy to field questions. There's a seated area for you to bring a picnic while waiting. Also ensure you book ahead, because you need to register via the website as it's an active military base. I hope the strike hangar is open to visitors again soon, because it houses the most exciting aircraft for youngsters. Aircraft highlights current open include the Mirage and Sabre. Marvellous that this is free to enter.

The museum consist of number of airplanes from RAAF history and many more aviation equipment. Everything is very well showcased and all the details are available by them. Great place to visit with your little one who is excited about airplanes. Make sure to make a booking and have a photo id with you.

Nice place, in this museum I can explore various kinds of aircrafts that served in the world war I and II and its detailed, the staff and the security is friendly and enthusiastic. It also exhibited the aircrafts served throughout the history of the Australian Royal Air Force. Một nơi thật đẹp, tại đây tôi có thể khám phá nhiều chủng loại máy bay đã từng phục vụ trong chiến tranh thế giới lần thứ nhất và lần thứ hai và thông số chi tiết về chúng, nhân viên thân thiện và nhiệt tình. Nơi này cũng trưng bày các loại máy bay đã từng phục vụ trong suốt lịch sử của không lực hoàng gia Úc.

Fantastic exhibit of the RAAFs history over the past hundred or so years. They will often do flying demonstrations with the training aircraft on Sunday. The building itself is full of exhibitions with original equipment and photographs from Australian involvement in wars over the last century. Well worth a trip as it's free and fun for all ages, you just have to register online. I recommend you take at least 2 hours to go through the museum and enjoy it properly.

We were a little disappointed TBH. It would great to be able to get a little closer to the planes. Some stunning planes there, with a trip, but Moorabin is way better for interactivity for the kids.

Great experience! So many aircrafts, kids really enjoyed exploring different sections of the museum, and got to learn about science, technology, and history at the same time.
