2 Murray St, Sydney

Ripples at the Maritime Museum will be temporarily relocating to the Terrace Room, located to the right of the Museum’s front desk, from 2 March to 11 April. During this time, we will be renovating our existing café space to introduce an exciting new offering - HarbourWatch. We look forward to welcoming you in the Terrace Room while these works are underway.

Ripples Maritime Museum sits on the outer boardwalk of the Australian National Maritime Museum, overlooking Sydney Harbour and the city skyline. Its alfresco setting is perfect for people watching, casual dining, or admiring the museum’s historic fleet. With a kiosk-style café menu for eat-in or takeaway, plus space for private events, it’s a uniquely Sydney waterfront spot.
