"Love what they've done to help us see through virtual reality what happened when Darwin was bombed, very emotional. Hats off to the RFDS , great insight into an average day in your life . Highly recommend a visit here! $30 Adult $24 Seniors"
"This clean, modern, well laid out small museum has hidden gems. For adults and children. It uses holograms, virtual reality goggles and short interactive films and imagery to take you back in time. We learnt about the bombing of Darwin AND the achievements of the Royal Flying Doctors Service. Now I know why the founder John Flynn is on your $20 notes! A very calming place, all ground level, easy access for prams and wheelchairs, exciting and interesting for all ages. And enjoy the stroll on the Darwin harbour pier after it. You can have a drink at the bar, a meal and even fish and chips. Excellent. We used the Hop on hop off bus. So easy to get around. All ages down there and felt very safe and relaxed. A very pretty spot."
"What a great place to find out about the history of the Royal Flying Doctor service and the bombing of Darwin Harbour. Lots of interactive displays and the virtual reality was great. I loved being able to climb aboard the RFDS plane and I chose the patient virtual reality clip. I kept turning around to see the pilot which was very cool!"
"I enjoyed watching the vertual reality goggle, hologram by John Flynn, Flying Doctors, 3D Virtual Reality The Bombing of Darwin Harbour."
"It doesn’t look like much but this interactive and formative place will have you mesmerised and inspired by our WWII efforts and the attack on Darwin and the birth of RFDS and how it all came about with their short screening, a must see! You can also checkout the VR headset experience of the WWII attack of Darwin harbour or RFDS medical mission of the outback. Our favourite was able to checkout the old and retired RFDS plane they had inside the museum, that was cool to look at and experience."
