Reviews

Went on a Sunday and was pretty quiet.   No staff working in the buildings - I assume that is a school holiday thing - but was great to navigate all the exhibits in our own time.   Plenty of history to explore and a lighthouse to climb!   Ticket prices were good value and crosses two days.   The village is set on a hill with a cobblestone road that is a little steep.  The night show was very well done.  The staff were great - provided some good background history. Some of the video was a little '80's' but great on the whole - kids will love it.  Small cafe in the village - has light refreshments and toasties.

We really enjoyed our morning here! We spent approximately 2.5 hours wandering and looking through the old shops and buildings. The lighthouses were great too. Very helpful staff and volunteers. Fun kids scavenger hunt - keen to try the alternate hunts next time. Didn't get to the night show but the brochure looked good! Highly recommended.

This place is a little gem. Great price for a wonderful afternoon of enjoyment. If you love local and Australian history, this place is a must. I was just disappointed I couldn’t make the light show later in the day.

We bought the day/night ticket for ourselves and our grandchildren. It’s great value in that the ticket can be used for two consecutive day entrances as well as one night show. There are a lot of interesting items on display from shipwrecks around the coast and the village itself is well setup. It’s beautifully maintained and the boys had some clues or items to find on their way around which kept them interested as well. We bought lunch at the café and it was reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise, and had gluten free options as well.nThe night show was amazing. It tells the story of the whale hunting and also the sinking of the Loch Ard and its cargo. The children are 5, 8 and 12 and were all fascinated. Highly recommend the experience.

Spent a lovely afternoon wandering around the village. Loved seeing all the buildings and how they would have looked back in time.  We had afternoon tea in the tea room.  They had  gluten free options, Our group got, a raspberry slice scones and  chocolate milkshakes.  The raspberry slice was very tasty.  The museum part was very interesting with a lot of information and items on display from the Loch Ard wreck.  There is also a well stocked gift shop with a good variety of items.  The staff were very friendly and happy to help us and tell us about some of the items.  Definitely recommend you give this place a visit
