Hi Ian, they were closed a couple of years ago for renovations but have since re-opened last year. I don't know why the website would say they are still closed tho :question:.
How about ringing them. :)

Thanks Suzy,
I called them this morning and yes they are reopen.
I went there a little earlier today ( just arrived back at RBWH) and had a look around, sad to say they dont have too much to offer, they had a life size replicar spacesuit that Armstrong wore which was good see in detail and a few videos, but they were very quick and you could not hear what was said, other than that they had a wall showing various pictures, the sun, moon, star clusters etc.
They have a star-globe type of show twice daily during week days, about 40 minutes long and around $14 per adult.
When they did the recent reno I reckon they spent it on the staff canteen and end of year party :-)
Oh they did have some very good models of various space craft that have landed on the moon, mars etc.
Im not feeling the best today so I did not have a look around the gardens which by all accounts are very nice, also its a very hot day today.

Thanks for the invite Ron,
i'd love to come up and visit but i must wait a little while as my Dr just told me, last week, that i must see a specialist asap and have test etc, i can hardly talk now, throat problem?? maybe a growth or whatever but painful to speak and nearly lost my voice, so i need to get this seen to asap but if all goes well when i am back to normal i will let you know as i would really like to come up to see you sometime.

Mae West had a husky voice, and used to say,"come up and see me some time";)
Get well soon,I will look forward to that Ian.:)
Cheers:thumbsup:

Thank you for the review, Ian. I've been really keen to see it since they re-opened- hmmm I won't hold high expectations then I guess. That's so sad- I was expecting the changes to be really exciting.

I hope you are on the mend soon and don't suffer for too much longer. Take care and all the best for a complete and quick recovery, Ian. :)
