1. Lismore Visitor Information Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 87 reviews
The Lismore Visitor Information Centre is currently closed. The award winning Lismore Visitor Information Centre is much more than a visitor centre - it's an experience! Our aim is to be a link between visitors and the rich source of environmental, cultural and economic resources in Lismore, Nimbin and surrounding villages. As Lismore is on the doorstep to Nightcap National Park, the centre features an indoor rainforest, designed to give visitors a taste of what they can experinece in the region. We have an Aboriginal Art Gallery, which provides local Northern Rivers Indigenous artists the opportunity to promote their artwork and offers visitors to Lismore an opportunity to learn about the area they are visiting through some of the local Aboriginal art. We have a large retail section specialising in unique, locally made arts, crafts and produce. There is an array of sumptuous gift baskets which you can buy pre-made or have one made-to-order.

This is a very nicely appointed site with very informative staff, there is also a wonderful gift shop. Parking is great and wonderful for families as there is a great park next door with lots of activities, even a small steam railway.

Now open at our exciting new location in the Lismore Quadrangle, with an expanded range of programs and exhibitions.

It was very pleasing to see how the old Lismore High School site has been transformed into the city's cultural hub, opened in late 2017, the home of the Lismore Library and Regional Gallery separated by the grassy quadrangle known as The Quad. The architectually modernised gallery was a delight to visit, we had come primarily to join a tour of the most impressive Hannah Cabinet; a must for any visit, book online so not to miss out. Afterwards we explored the two levels of the gallery viewing the temporary art collections. I can also recommend Slate Cafe on the ground floor overlooking the Quad. Parking is available at the back of the complex off Dawson Street.

A brilliant market with a flea market kind of vibe, with lots of secondhand and homemade things. Great vintage clothes selection, lots of different types of food. I particularly recommend Ron the coffee man, and the “pocket curry” place.

We did the Platypus Walk with 2 kids (aged 4 and 1) and its a very easy walk to do with kids this age. Don't be afraid of the drop on the dam wall - it looks worse than what it actually is. Can easily take a pram/pushchair on this walk with no issue at all. Beautiful walk in a well maintained park - I just wish we were able to spot a platypus but more of a reason to come back!

This small municipal garden is maintained by a group of local volunteers who are to be congratulated on their efforts. The pathways are well laid out and the walk is very easy. This area is a great way to educate young kids on the beauty that is a rainforest. Plenty of free parking, picnic areas and clean bathroom facilities make this an interesting place to visit.

Great place for an evening meal after a long day of travel. Easy walk from our motel. The food was tasty and the service was quick.
