NATIONAL MOTOR RACING MUSEUM REVIEWS
I loved our visit to the museum! While I've been a few times over the years, it had been a while and it was the first time taking my family. I always get a kick out of seeing Australian racing history on display and being able to view up close the race cars (and bikes!) I've grown up with was very cool. The quality of the displays and background information is fantastic and a big thanks to the friendly, knowledgeable staff. Without this museum, some of the greatest race cars in Australia wouldn't be seen by the public. Whether you're a die hard race fan or someone who watches once a year when the Bathurst 1000 is on, the museum is a must do if you get the chance!
Wow!! Fabulous collection of history dating back to the start of car racing and motorcycles. Highly recommend coming to visit museum. Get up close to this mechanical masterpiece of history. I'm here for Bathurst 1000 and so glad l visited this museum.
A lot of fun to see the cars up close. Aptly priced and great location, if you’re driving up Mt you should definitely consider stopping in here. The location is nice and clean, friendly staff and good memorabilia. I would recommend having the collection coin machine checked however. When I was there it took my money and didn’t slot the coin. Highly recommend.

AUSTRALIAN FOSSIL AND MINERAL MUSEUM REVIEWS
Great place especially for those with kids intrested in rocks and fossils. The collection of minerals is amazing. The TRex pet section is a wonderful for young and not so young. The youn man at the desk is a credit to the museum.
A great little museum with lovely staff. I would recommend between 15 minutes to 1 hour for most. Their gift shop is also a one stop shop for dinosaur themed gifts.
A wonderful museum! Regularly updated with new informative displays. Great place to visit for the young and young at heart.
