One of the best places to experience Australia’s past is Old Parliament House, which has stood witness to some of the nation’s most memorable moments.
Visit this Australian treasure to see where history was made! Enjoy exhibitions, talks, events and guided tours surrounded by the original 1920s furniture and architecture of this beautiful heritage-listed building and award-winning national attraction. Receive a red-carpet welcome, walk up the same steps the Queen did many years ago, sit in the original Parliamentary Chamber where Prime Ministers such as Menzies and Whitlam once sat, stroll the corridors of power and explore the nooks and crannies of the House.
Kids, with the help of their families, can use their detective skills to hunt for clues around the House or travel back in time with period costumes. Enjoy a break at Cafe in the House and stop in at the Old P arliament House Shop for a special memento of your visit. Also home to the National Portrait Gallery.
