Great Lakes Museum

Reviewed By 993anitat - Forster, Australia

When we have visitors this museum is a wonderful place to take them so that they can see our rich history. The display seems to improve each time we visit and we heard while we were there that they have gained the block of land next door and so the museum can grow. The displays are wonderful, with lots of photographs and information and displays on the original inhabitants, the oyster industry, ship building, timber. It has the first Tuncurry school which became Minimbah's before coming to the museum. The museum illustrates early life in the area in fashion, housing, and industry. At $5 an adult for entry it is well worth a visit.

Newcastle Museum

Reviewed By bobbier461 - Sydney, Australia

The museum is fantastic, plenty to see and do. The exhibitions are fabulous, especially the coal and steel exhibitions. There is lots of hands on activities for kids and adults. The old Newcastle tram and train are great. It is free admission. The museum building itself is great, as is the Civic park in front of the museum. This is definitely a must do if visiting Newcastle.

Port Macquarie Museum

Reviewed By 43suzied

We are spending our summer holiday in Port Macquarie and decided due to the rain to spend the morning learning about the heritage of the local area. Such thought has been put into what is on display and it flowed so well. My son also got involved with the "eye spy" game which were spread out throughout. We loved that there were draws and cupboards that could be opened which also kept him intrigued and involved. We also noticed that kind families have donated items so that we can learn about our the past. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would recommend that families visit this lovely museum. An inexpensive outing for families.

Roto House

A great setting and a beautifully restored house. Ideal location for a family visit and perhaps a picnic in the grounds. You could easily spend half a day here as the koala hospital is right next door. We loved both venues.

Fighter World

Located just 20 mins drive north of Newcastle, adjacent to the entrance to RAAF Base Williamtown at Newcastle Airport, Fighter World is a totally ‘hands on’ experience. Exhibited in two hangars, visitors can walk-around and look into the cockpits of some of the Air Forces most iconic aircraft such as the first Vampire jet built in Australia and the mighty F-111C. Conveniently located adjacent to the main hangar, the Fighter Beans Cafe offers a range of snacks and light meals as well as cold beverages and steaming hot espresso coffee and of course free WiFi means you can stay abreast of what’s happening at home. Stay cosy inside or venture outdoors to enjoy the noise and action of an operational Air Force Base. The choice is yours. Make sure before you leave you visit the Fighter World Shop where you’ll find a wide range of books, souvenirs and models available. Fighter World is disable friendly and open every day (except Christmas Day) 10am to 4pm. Some COVID restrictions may apply.

Visited Fighter World with my wife. It was a great experience. They have a great number of Jets to look at and great displays. It was amazing watching Jet Fighters from the RAAF taking off and landing from the viewing platform. Staff were very friendly. Highly recommended.
