Australian National Surfing Museum

Ride the Waves of Fun and History at the Australian National Surfing Museum!

Kids are born with surf stoke, that infectious love for the ocean and fun in the sun! The Australian National Surfing Museum in Torquay is the perfect place for families to connect with Australia’s vibrant surf culture. This iconic museum not only celebrates the rich history of surfing but also highlights the joy, confidence, and respect for nature that surfing instills in children.

For curious young minds, the museum is a treasure trove of exciting surfing memorabilia. Kids can marvel at the vintage surfboards, and explore the ultimate surf-mobile, the VW Kombi van, which has been a part of many surfing adventures. They’ll love learning about Australia’s surfing legends in the Hall of Fame, with boards that once glided through the waves, alongside epic footage of surfers in action.

Surfing encourages children to embrace the outdoors, respect the ocean, and build confidence – and this museum offers an amazing way to dive deeper into the world of surfing while inspiring the next generation of wave riders.

Whether your kiddos are seasoned beach lovers or first-time explorers, a visit to the Australian National Surfing Museum will leave them eager to hit the waves!
