Wadjemup Museum for Children

Wadjemup / Rottnest Island visitors of all ages can journey on an educational adventure and engage with the stories of the island, past and present.

Once known as Lomas Cottage, the building was constructed in 1871 for ex-convict John Lomas. Today, it stands as a space to ignite curiosity and understanding as you wander through the heritage structure.

Tales of Wadjemup’s past are brought to life through unusual artefacts, bold displays, and interactive exhibits. All of which are designed to capture, and hold, attention.

Fascinating audio accounts offer a unique opportunity to peer into the past, while carefully preserved artefacts allow visitors to relive surprising stories.
