Why it's worth checking out
Founded in 1975, the Gold Coast War Museum has grown into a complex combining a military museum, the Collector’s Armoury and Skirmish Gold Coast. The venue is listed in Surfers Paradise, while its own website places the complex at Mudgeeraba in the Gold Coast Hinterland.
The museum centres on a large display of military artefacts and historical material. Visitors can also browse military memorabilia, giving the visit a collecting and browsing element beyond the main exhibition. The Collector’s Armoury stocks replica pistols, rifles and swords, along with genuine and reproduction militaria.
For visitors after a more active experience, Skirmish Gold Coast operates as a paintball and skirmish field. With the museum, retail collection and outdoor activity gathered into one complex, the venue offers different ways to engage with military history and related interests. It may suit families, history enthusiasts, collectors and groups, with the site listing separate adult, pensioner and child admission prices. The website gives opening hours of Monday to Saturday from 9am to 4pm and Sunday from 10.30am to 2pm, with closures on public holidays.
