WA Maritime Museum

Venture into the secret world of submarine warfare as you go on a tour of HMAS Ovens. Find out what is needed to keep war-time vessels afloat, then design, build and test your own balloon powered battleship.

Join your junior explorers, future subsea engineers and amateur maritime archaeologists at the WA Maritime Museum for a shared family friendly experience, and rediscover for yourself what makes the Museum a marvellous place to learn about the amazing world under the sea. A half day of fun for everyone!
