Royal Exhibition Building - Carlton (VIC)

5 /5 Ashlee Pond: This beautiful old building is such a stunning site. It looks extra majestic in the lovely Carlton Gardens, and the Dome Tour you can do through the Melbourne Museum is absolutely wonderful, providing a lot of detailed history and some really unique and incredible views. Ive been to a lot of events here - from uni exams and graduations, to the flower and garden show, to vegan festivals and art shows, and every single time I visit Im just blown away by how beautiful this architecture is. I wish that there were more places like this as lovingly preserved in Melbourne.

5 /5 Chang Guan: The building is marvelous just like Melbourne’s old name, the Marvelous Melbourne. The Dome Guided Tour is fantastic, the professional guide Phil told us loads of fascinating stories about the building and the city it is located in. In the main hall, Phil showed us the paintings and their history. And then we went upstairs to the rooftop, enjoyed the great views and checked out the golden top which is made of real gold. We went into the basement with a little exhibition about the building. And we went back to the main hall to end this tour. I love this experience. It’s a great landmark of Melbourne. It represents the good old times of its city. And we should do more to conserve it and make it last for our future generations.

5 /5 GG Shopping: I went to the Melbourne Garden and Flower Show this year which was held in this building and Carlton Gardens. What a magnificent building with ultra high ceilings and large doors. The outside of the building makes a beautiful backdrop when taking photos in the garden but is normally closed. Going to this show was a chance to see inside the building. It’s massive and impressive. Easily accessible by public transport, and there is a museum next door with a car park as well as street parking.

5 /5 Senarath Angammana: Stunning Venue for Special Occasions – Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne I recently had the pleasure of attending a graduation ceremony at the Royal Exhibition Building, and it was truly a memorable experience. The building itself is a masterpiece of architecture—grand, elegant, and beautifully preserved. Its high ceilings, detailed interior, and historical charm make it an inspiring venue for any important event. The surrounding Carlton Gardens add even more beauty, offering a peaceful and scenic environment perfect for photos and relaxation. Whether you’re attending a formal event or just visiting, the atmosphere is uplifting and serene. Everything was well organized, and the setting made the ceremony feel extra special. The mix of heritage, space, and natural surroundings makes this a standout location in Melbourne. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city or planning a special event!

5 /5 Kibuga Julia “Juliaqui”: Went here during the Melbourne international flower and garden show currently in March and it was all so beautiful. So much to see we spent hours there. There is also food stalls for quick snack and coffee.
