Fremantle Hospital Museum

@buggybuddys Fremantle Hospital Museum 🏥🩺 One of Perth’s most unexpected free museums Hidden inside Fremantle Hospital is a free little museum that’s surprisingly fascinating for curious kids and adults. Fremantle Hospital Museum takes you right back through medical history with: Old surgical instruments Vintage diagnostic equipment + pharmacy items A recreated operating room set-up Historical nursing uniforms Handwritten records from outbreaks like typhoid, measles and Spanish Flu Retired hyperbaric chambers “George” and “Mildred” that kids can check out up close What makes it extra special: It’s run by volunteers, including ex-nurses who share real stories from the hospital — which makes the whole visit feel so personal and memorable. Kid note: Great for older kids (around 6+) who can appreciate the history Some exhibits may feel a bit confronting for younger toddlers There are vintage machines like typewriters and telephones that kids can interact with Parent wins: Free entry About 1 hour to explore Easy add-on to a Freo day out 📍 Fremantle Hospital, Alma Street, Fremantle 🕒 Best to call ahead on 9431 3333 to confirm opening times More info: Buggybuddys guide #fremantle #perthkids #perthmums #perthlife #thingstodoinperth ♬ original sound – Buggybuddys – Kids in Perth
