1. Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre and Cafe
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 247 reviews
The Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre and cafe showcases the amazing history of the Snowy Mountains Scheme; from the early days of construction through to how it is operated by Snowy Hydro today. This is a must for any visitor to the Snowy Mountains region! The Centre houses a comprehensive exhibition hall including an extensive photographic collection, models, hands-on exhibits and a one of a kind immersive theatre. You will find information about the Scheme such as engineering, the environment, the National Electricity Market, history, water management and power generation. Take your turn on the “power bikes” and see if you can peddle hard enough to power a TV, make some toast or boil a kettle. You will also find screens displaying the Scheme working in real time. See which generators are operating, how much electricity they are producing and the prices of electricity in the market. Stay for a while, have a barista made coffee and light refreshments at the Discovery Centre Cafe.

Whilst visiting Jindabyne recently, we took the opportunity to visit the Snowy Region Visitor Centre, a well laid out complex with plenty of visitor information about the Jindabyne and Snowy Mountains area, plus information on various other districts. It includes a well stocked souvenir section, plus a coffee shop plus other interesting information boards and items on the history of the area. Also in one of the rooms in the centre, a video is available to view on the history of the area. It is well worth a visit.
