Great history including rats!It was wonderful to see historic buildings used for several purposes. Walking through the three stories, you can see excavated artifacts and archives, interact with touch screens to check your family's convict past, walk through reconstructed galleys of ships and see how closely the immigrants slept in the tiny hammocks. I would definitely go back there again and again for the changing exhibit.OVERALL
