We were there ten years ago, and a lot has improved since then. You can literally spend the whole day there exploring all the exhibitions. Be sure to check the opening hours; you don't want to arrive too late to explore the museum.

It’s definitely worth a visit. The first section isn’t very spacious but has lots of interesting stuff to read. The second section is more playful, filled with interactive activities—feels a bit like Scitech. They even have arcade machines you can play on! The third section displays part of a spacecraft or something similar, but I didn’t get the full picture because I got there just before closing time. To be honest, I was quite into the merch—so I spent the rest of my time browsing the souvenir shop instead!

Great museum - much better than we were expecting. We arrived 40 minutes before it closed and didn't manage to see everything in time so we were given passes to go back the following day which we did. Could easily spend a couple of hours here, including time for the complimentary tea or coffee!

This Museum really deserved to be seen!! The history of the small town of Carnarvon meet with space exploration history as it deserves! You'll find a lot of information about space history but also a piece of the moon,NASA computer, full size replica of the Apollo command module with a real fun simulation and video games...and much! This place is crazy good and fun! Special mention to the volunteers not just because I had the pleasure to be one🫢🙂 but for all the great work they do together withthe best museum managers you can find!🌛🌛🌛

Absolutely loved it. So much information with a few interactive things to test skill and get a very basic feel for what the pioneers of space went through. These guys are on another level of mad. They, like other explorers before them, had no idea what to expect. The time, effort and work that went into it is just amazing. Full access for wheelchairs with the possible exception of a couple of things, but we were well captivated. Kids of all ages should enjoy. It was pretty busy, but at the same time, you weren't really waiting for anything. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Can't do enough. Complimentary tea and d coffee at any time if you felt like a break. A lot of it brought back memories. Check out the 1:1 lander, the lookout at the scale model to see the relevant sizing. There are toilets and a little cafe. $20 entry with seniors and kids cheaper, but we were there for 4 hrs, and probably could have been longer, but they shut at 4pm. Do yourselves a favour when I Carnarvon, drop in and take a look. Go earlier, as you'll be disappointed if you run out of time. For us, you're cheating yourself if you get there any later than noon.

What a gem, run by friendly, happy knowledgeable volunteers. Make sure you give yourself lots of time, lots to see, read and so much interaction. Amazingly preserved items from the 1950's till today. Well done loved it!

You walk in and your first thought is, “Great, another homemade museum built by someone’s retired uncle with glue and nostalgia.” You grab a coffee, ready to fake a polite smile, and boom—before you know it, some overly enthusiastic staffer drags you into the Apollo landing module. Suddenly you’re sitting inside what feels like a tin can of history, watching a movie that makes your inner child scream “To the moon!” The deeper you go, the better it gets. Machines, documents, interactive screens, and enough switches to make Elon Musk weep with envy. It’s hands-on, nerdy, and surprisingly emotional. You start thinking maybe humanity peaked in the 1960s and everything since has been downhill. If you’re anywhere near Carnarvon and even remotely interested in space, stop the car, put down your flat white, and go. It’s genuinely brilliant. Final verdict: 5/5 rockets and one small step for your weekend plans.

The location makes for some very nice photos! Wouldn't plan to stay there for a long duration of time though (like we did). Best to visit at high tide! Wish we had of visited on our way into Canarvon instead of doubling back up once we'd arrived. Plenty I of space to park your caravan if need be. 😊

It is an underrated place. The blow hole is amazing. You can get het up close and watch it. There was a coffee van in the morning for food and coffee. We went in the afternoon and it was not busy at all.

You have to be very careful walking to the Blow Holes from the carpark, but it is extremely well worth it. A spectacular coastline. Beautiful beyond words.

Spectacular blowholes!! When you're from the East coast the sun setting over the sea is just beautiful, but the ocean water spouting out of the blowholes makes it so much more! Definitely worth driving off the highway.

They sound like a whale! The campsite nearby is a great place to stay. It's close to the 'aquarium' for snorkeling and the beach for relaxing.

Awesome! Haven't visited a blowhole this epic since start out lap from QLD. I guess if you go at the right time for the tides and swell it'll be best

Not to be missed. Hump back Whale cruised passed while we there too. Just off shore. The aquarium is a must do as well.

Very helpfull staff. Went out of their way to find a campsite in Denham. Their restaurant suggestion was excellent too.

Asked about historic buildings & sites brochure as advertised in 2024 regional booklet. Was informed no such brochure as “didn’t get around to doing it yet”. They instead suggested we look up the street art murals online! I said I had a few historic sites written down so would plot them on our map myself. We felt we were just brushed off! And when we went to the Jetty Historic Precinct, most museums seemed permanently closed, except lighthouse cottage & a cafe! We weren’t informed about the closures & felt we should have been, as they are a few kms drive from CBD.

Heard some very strange advice being given regarding camping between Quobba and Coral bay. Having come from down there and booked quobba campground the night before it was funny to hear one woman push the station camping rather than where the people were actually enquiring about... just thought this was weird. Otherwise heaps of booklets and whatever, made in China souvenirs. I think one rack of local made postcard sized artworks. Three people were helping two customers and we didnt wait around for help after hearing the kind of advice they were offering 😬

Great place to visit to get locations to visit around Carnarvon, staff are very friendly and are very knowledgeable

Friendly welcome. Lots of brochures on Carnarvon and WA in general. Nice to browse the souvenirs and clothing on display. Has a community noticeboard with local activities, including school holiday activities for the kids.

Carnarvon is the best kept secret! Authentic friendly service, warm climate and history. Right on the water its a must visit.

Loved it even tho the weather didn't perform.

Very pretty waterfront walkway with great ocean view. The kids playground is great and the waterside kiosk cafe does good coffee.

Love the isolation; No one around in the evening at disk. Coming from Melbourne I don't miss the maddening crowds

We visited the promenade walkway along the Fascine and enjoyed walks here during a recent stay in Carnarvon. Evening stroll after dinner was very quiet, only a couple other people out. During a morning walk, a few more enjoying the walkway and calm, nice waters. On the whole, it is a nice and fair waterfront, good bit of leisure and green space near the town centre.

Hello, I’m Jickarn. I usually come here to hang out and observe. This isn’t my typical view, but it has shown me a brighter side of Carnarvon, even if things seem a bit chaotic. It's been an eye-opening experience.

We, Lilly and Skye labradors travelling around Australia with mum and dad. Dad drove us to the Carnarvon foreshore for a swim. Yay. Lots of zoomies were had. Be back here tomorrow please!

I'm not really sure why this is listed as a tourist attraction. I'd say it's a nice spot for a picnic if you lived nearby.

Beautifully manicured lawns with great walkways along the Fascine. You can walk your dog on leash and has water fountains for dogs and us. There are several memorials and history notes around the area as well. Beautiful place to check out.

We had a fantastic full day of finding out about the local area and the fate of the HMAS Sydney II in particular. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the 3 museums you get access to for 2 days at one low price, were very engaging and well presented and the surrounds were neat, tidy and clearly signposted. There was a mix of indoor and outdoor displays and the passion of the group who makes all this possible is evident in their plans going forward. Their much-anticipated delivery and installation of another piece of Carnarvon history very soon, is exciting and the group is to be commended on their hard work to bring the community's past to life for the rest of us.

Pet friendly! Dogs permitted outside and there is a Pooch Parking where they have access to water and shade and can be secured while you visit the inside exhibits.

Very interesting, Lots of old equipment and information about the sinking of Sydney by the Kormeron raider. Lighthouse Keepers Cottage is also well worth the visit.

Some excellent restorations of old trains and equipment

The museum and setting was excellent. Really helpful and informative lady at the desk who is also the caretaker for the heritage area. Spent 2+ hrs there. So worth the $10 entry IMHO. Like many, so disappointed that the wonderful 1 mile jetty, which has been damaged by a fire and then a cyclone, has been closed since 2017. The Cafe there was in a lovely location with great views. Obviously struggling with lack of staff (like so many places) so we were told it would be a 45’ wait for food. However we enjoyed the coffee, the scones were excellent as was the GF caramel slice. Would highly recommend this lovely place. Please support them in any way you can. Donate, hang out at the cafe, become a member of the Carnarvon Heritage Group Inc, and spread the word. Would be so so sad to lose this state and national treasure. Such potential for a northern ‘Busselton jetty’ complex.

Definitely worth a visit to understand the history of Carnarvon and WA. That's a very unique museum, everything you see in that area or on the street is heritage!!! Don't forget to visit the shearing shed museum and the lighthouse museum, and make a donation if possible (to support the operation)

Interesting museum Shane the jetty is in disrepair

My partner and I did the heli crayfish tour with Justin and we couldn’t recommend it more!! Justin is a very knowledgeable pilot/guide and took us to unimaginable places breaming with sea life and filled with hundreds of lobsters. We had no prior experience and felt in very safe hands and had great instruction from Justin. This tour is worth every dollar - if you ever get the opportunity just do it!! We are so glad we did and will be riding the high for the rest of our travels. Not to mention we will be eating lobster for breakfast lunch and dinner for next few weeks. Thank you Justin and Emma we will hold these memories with us forever and we can’t wait to try the spear fishing tour next time :)

Had a scenic helicopter trip on the 8th November this year. We booked from UK and from our first email to Jack we always got prompt replies with all the necessary information. He was helpful and friendly as well as professional. On arriving in Carnarvon we called in at the airport to see where we needed to be on the day of the flight. Jack was there and made us welcome explaining all we needed to know. We had never been in a helicopter before and this was amazing. We had a wonderful time and Jack pointed things out to us and answered lots of questions. We saw an awful lot in a very short time. I think you’ve got us hooked on helicopters! Thank you so much Jack for making this such a memorable trip for us, you were awesome. Lesley and Jeff Gould

Must do in Carnarvon, Coral Coast Helicopters. Very professional and informative. Amazing to see the land you travelled all the way to get there. Would highly recommend memories forever.

Perfect job by Jake and the team of Coral Coast Helicopters! An amazing experience and needful for pics for advertise your business!!! We will do again!

Wow did the crayfish tour was the most amazing day of my life ever. Justin is amazing helped my son catch 2 giant crays and made sure we had the most amazing time. What an unknown paridise a must do for the scenery but the snorkelling and catching crays is something on a level you can not get any other place in the world! Can't wait to do again thanks Justin! We did it in January was the best time 45km winds and still awsome, water was warm.

Awesome experience and pilot was a genuine nice guy. Highly recommend this joy flight

Unbelievable, we did the crayfish tour and loved every minute, our pilot slash guide was professional, friendly and informative. Cant recommend highly enough. Thank you and we look forward to next time. Two thumbs up!!!

We had a wonderful lunch at the cafe with the best scones I've had in a long time....lemon myrtle...and great lunch options all fresh and tasty. The gift shop offered many goodies from local artisans. Well worth dropping in!

We visited the centre today. Wow what an amazing interactive cultural learning experience. We had, the staff are amazing if you’re in Carnarvon don’t miss out. Go and have a look at this. You can learn some really valuable lessons about connection to mother nature about connections to our planet and the culture in our country. Thank you so much we had such an experience that it won’t be forgotten Mark and Heather Cooper

The place is beautifully designed with meanings and aesthetic. The museum connects you with direct testimonies by videos to the history of the region. If you want to listen to everything you'll have to stay at least 2 hours. I don't think kids will enjoy it, for teenagers and up. Nice art exhibition and gift shop. I liked the cafe with its patio.

Excellent. Stories well told by elders & history via information displays. Art exhibition was also very good. Later visited the 'Dont look at the islands' memorial which reinforced my awareness of the appalling way aboriginal people were treated just over 100 years ago.

Excellent art displays by indigenousartists. Very informative and interesting displays, videos and sound recordings about the history of the people of the Carnarvon and Gascoyne area. Well worth the time to learn about the areas history.

Do not miss this wonderful cultural centre, it's the best I've ever been to. What a great way to preserve your Elders' stories, experiences and languages, I feel very thankful to have heard them. Despite the hardships and the injustices inflicted on these generous people, their willingness to share and their positive outlook was humbling. I also loved the art gallery and sitting in the shade of the cosy cafe afterwards and eating delicious food. And experience not to be missed and well worth a little detour if you had planned to bypass Carnarvon on your travels.

I wish I had visited the cultural centre but it was closed for renovations, including the day we visited Carnarvon - 16 September 2025. There was no indication on the website that the centre was going to be temporarily closed. As a result, I missed a couple of activities which I otherwise would have scheduled had that information been available. I am very disappointed at not being able to visit this supposedly iconic centre and also the disruption and inconvenience to my itinerary caused by the lack of information on your website. If it were possible to give no stars, I would. Marian Shaw

A quick and convenient fried chicken spot. Very affordable prices and a lifesaver for late-night travelers with no other options available.

A good spot for a quick fast-food chicken meal. The chicken was tasty and well-cooked, but unfortunately the fries were a bit soft and lacked the crispiness you’d expect. That said, the menu had a decent selection of snacks, burgers, chicken options, and drinks. Friendly service and easy for a quick stop.

I really enjoyed the Stinging Maple Burger, the buns were warm and fresh and the chicken fillet was fresh and hot and the perfect amount of “Sting” in the maple sauce. The chips were excellent hot and crispy. Service was friendly and prompt. Nice and cool inside.

Amazing food. Horrible drive through. waited way longer than it said I would wait for and when I arrived and told them I had a mobile order, they only then started making the food. In drive-thru for around 20 mins total. Bad service.

Been a couple of times while in Carnarvon. Fresh and delicious. Best Chicken Treat I’ve had.

I always pop into this Chicken Treat when travelling through Carnarvon. It’s one of the best in WA. Always friendly staff and the food is nicely done.

Food was good, the service took quite a while. Be prepared to wait.

The market changes week to week. Sometimes a lot of stalls and plenty of choice and the next week it can be very quiet and limited choice. A great place to have a coffee and meet friends.

Last year I went to the market and bought some delicious dried mangoes. I couldn't find any information on the internet. Does anyone know the name of the store? Or how to get it delivered to my home?

Love the veggies and the mango dark chocolate icypoles delicious be back to buy more.

Good to take a breakfast, the passion fruit dessert was delicious!🤤

A local suggested we visit here, but we were rather disappointed as only two veg. growers stalls. Most stalls were arts/crafts, & the coffee was poor, mostly froth. We did much better at the stalls on the Fruit Loop.

Great variety of stalls providing a wonderful community event during May-Oct annually.

We were fortunate to be in Carnarvon just before the Eclipse in April. The town was buzzing. The Saturday morning market outside the Tourist information centre was worth a visit. A reasonable variety of handcrafts, food and local items was great. We bought pies, homemade slices, coffee beans. Go early food sells out quickly.

Awesome track and well run events with good facilities

Good race card, well organised, good facilities excellent value on entry, food and drinks

The best fun in a long while, great fun indeed

Visited my mom who lives onboard her yacht, beautiful spot very friendly people and friday nights are pretty good there.

Love this place! Beautiful spot! Free Sailing on Sundays. Great meals Friday night's. Looking forward to the Windfest January 2020

A very friendly atmosphere with brilliant outlook over the fascine good meals, good prices, cold beers and great service. One of the best places for a beer in Carnarvon.

Skate park is good but full of rocks, cant skate

(Translated by Google) Review from my skating sons: It's a good skate park. It is a large skate park and it is super beautiful but they could use some cleaning. but at the end of the ramps there was some kind of bump. The lights did not work in the evening, which was a shame. (Original) Recensie van mijn skatende zoons: Het is een goed skatepark. Het is een groot skatepark en het is super mooi maar ze kunen wel eens schoon maken. maar aan het eind van de ramps was een soort hobbel. De lichten deden het niet in de avond, dat was jammer.

Great service Delicious local prawns Fabulous range of fish Value for money See you next year.

Excellent service & owners are very willing to help with all your fishing needs.

good place for fish etc and good service sorrey i sent you that messag it was ment to go to another fish shop i apologize

Great customer service & WOULD'VE been 5 star if they had better parking

Great honest service and they If they don’t have it well help you to get it.

This is a must have your card ready..Has all your needs with great staff..

Never open when you need them when it's not tourist season, friendly staff!

Had a great weekend here for competitions. Staff were fantastic and courteous at all times.

Not open even though Google says it is!!!

Nice and clean. Heaps of shaded areas. 💛

Friendly staff and clean pool

Clean,friendly a lot of space .....
