Canberra · Things to Do in Canberra

What can I do in Canberra when rain changes an outdoor plan?

I have a short Canberra visit and had planned gardens and lake time. If a rainy day arrives, which indoor options make a good replacement without crossing the whole city?

    The Australian War Memorial can fill much of a wet day on its own. Check its current gallery hours and any tours or ceremonies you want to attend, then leave enough time to explore without racing onward.

    Choose one cluster rather than zigzagging across the city. The National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Questacon and Old Parliament House sit around the National Triangle, so you can select two that match your interests.
