As far as "big" things go, this is one of the better ones. Genuinely big, and has a solid information office and wax museum as part of it (although I didn't go to the wax museum so can't comment). Pretty much mandatory when visiting Tamworth.

It was a bit of a disappointed to be honest. They have built large food outlets and a super cheap auto nearby and have taken away from the symbolic guitar that stands tall for Australian country music. It’s just a trashy big thing that we want a photo under. Progress has certainly ruined the experience for me. I remember that there was grass around the guitar not it’s a carpark.

Enjoyed our visit. Plenty to see, lovely staff and a cafe as well.

Location is crap, smashed between fast food places and a hotel. Tricky to get a decent photo as you are standing in a car park. The information centre seemed alright Staff were very friendly, and there is a wax museum which you can explore for a small fee.

Great place to stop by and gather brochures for your trip 🤍

The Guitar Museum and Wax Museum at the back of the Visitor Center were surprisingly good. We almost didn't go in there because we had difficulty finding reviews and didn't know much about it, so we just took a chance and were very pleasantly surprised. I thought these were much better than the Country Music Hall of Fame which is elsewhere in Tamworth.

Very friendly staff, purchased some magnets, local honey and Tamworth Monopoly board game. Got a photo of the big golden guitar.

Went here for breakfast and was quite disappointed… the atmosphere and staff I talked to were friendly and lovely it was just the food that threw it off for me. I ordered their “Turkish Eggs” as I saw labneh was in the dish and got excited to try it, but when my dish came it was a puddle of vanilla yogurt. - or at least tasted like it as it was super sweet for something meant to be “garlic infused”. (The photos are me trying to show it looks a lot more like vanilla yogurt than a thicker Greek yoghurt and when compared to an even thicker labneh) I thought it might’ve been a mix up so I asked to waitress to check with the chef. She said to me that it was meant to be that way and it was Greek yogurt and to these words exact “he said without the fancy name it’s Greek yogurt” … this left me quite annoyed as a Turk I knew that wasn’t what labneh is, and I wasn’t sure whether the chef was clueless as to what labneh was or if they were trying to pull one over me hoping I didn’t know what labneh is. Labneh is strained yoghurt making it super thick and spreadable id say it’s a similar texture to cream cheese but sometimes even thicker as it’s more dried out - it doesn’t always have a garlic taste but it is possible. It’s usually drizzled with olive oil and tastes almost sour, like tangy and acidic. It was a bit upsetting as I did believe the chef was hoping I didn’t know what I was talking about, I can imagine them serving something with a berry compote with it just being warmed up milkshake syrup to the chef saying “without the fancy name it’s berry syrup” The food was completely inedible, as It’s hard to eat chorizo covered in vanilla yogurt. - I recommend changing the description on the menu, or tasting that yoghurt as it’s definitely too sweet (tasted like vanilla/honey) and shouldn’t be labelled as “garlic infused” or even as “labneh” to make the menu sound more sophisticated and authentic. Ontop of this the poached eggs were way too runny, the outside looked lovely but on the inside it was watery and inedible so I just had to eat my toast, hash brown, and wipe the yogurt off of the chorizo. - my chai latte was a unique blend but was a little too sweet and a little too cold. I think this was just my personal experience - and I’m being extra harsh and somebody that works in a kitchen and was raised with Turkish cuisine. I’m sure the rest of the menu is great, but I couldn’t help but say something!

Nice spot with a relaxed environment that makes it easy to settle in. Food leans on the pricier side, but quality is good. Tried the hummingbird cake - fresh, moist, and delicious. Overall, a solid choice in Tamworth for a sit-down bite.

A beautiful spot to meet friends and family. Our family birthday breakfast was made so special by the positive and enthusiastic staff. They even put candles on my daughter's pancakes and helped sing 'happy birthday'. The service was clear, accommodating and professional.

Whenever I’m in Tamworth for work (often these days), I will always eat at least once at Hopscotch. Having been introduced to it by local colleagues a few years ago, it has become a firm favourite not just for me but a number of my Sydney and Newcastle workmates. Usually being there for breakfast, nothing I’ve ever ordered has disappointed. They do a great coffee as well, and in the warmer months it’s so nice to just sit there and take in the ambiance of the park surrounds (and admire the local puppers who visit with their owner regulars!). Most impressive of all is the service given by one particular young male member of staff which is nothing short of excellent. I’m not sure of his age but the first time I visited he seemed quite young - he was all over it regardless and has just gotten better with time (I’ve seen in other reviews that many agree with me!). The manager is warm and friendly as well, as in fact is the whole team. Hopscotch is a great way to start your New England day - highly recommend.

My wife and I are in Tamworth for our first country music festival here. We're staying at the Edward Parry Motel, and the owners ( Michael and Lisa) recommended the Hopscotch Restaurant and Bar to us. I have to say we're very happy that they did. Situated in a park by the river, adjacent to the centre of town, and in the middle of a recreation park including a small water feature, this is a happy, relaxing place to be. The staff are very friendly, the menu is very comprehensive, and the chefs are creating wonders. We've been here three days so far, this is the second time we've had brunch at Hopscotch, we've had four different dishes and they've all been conversation killers, except for the occasional "Oh wow" and " I'm so full but I can't stop eating". We're seriously impressed. We have another three days here and Hopscotch will feature. So far we've had; Poke Bowl with chicken, Scrambled eggs on toast with bacon, Avocado toast ( which includes poached egg & other yummy stuff) Eggs Benny with bacon on croissant.( with hollandaise to die for). Let's not forget the mango frappes we've been having as well..... just the thing on a hot day. Everything has been beautifully presented (the restaurant and the meals), and the flavours superb. Well done Hopscotch! Rob and Kim from Surfers Paradise. 22JAN24

Just waited for over 30 minutes to get our food and when asking staff how long our food was going to be she decided she was going to take our unfinished drinks. Food came out and was below average. Breakfast burrito had bacon in one half but not the other half. Seriously overpriced. Actually disappointing when you pay “top dollar” for food and you can’t eat it.

A disappointing experience here today. Unfortunately our waiter missed placing an order so one of our party didn't get to eat until an hour after we all had. Had to communicate with the manager who sorted us out straight away as our waiter just couldn't seem to do it. Annoying you have to escalate what is an easy mistake to fix. Food and coffee were good and excellent location for the kids to play next door.

My 3 years old was so busy playing in this playground. He wasn’t happy at all when it was home time. There are variety of activities suitable for younger children to older ones. I highly recommend this place to all the parents.

Really enjoyed our visit here. Has been several years since we had the opportunity to walk down this way on our trip to Tamworth. This was definitely a nice surprise. Not sure if the Cafe is doing as well as it could according to local reports but didn't get the time to sit and make our own decisions on this though. Beautiful spot all the same and striking distance to Peel St to pick up whatever other foods for a picnic. Fabulous venue for the kids to explore outdoor activities. Such a range to experience. Even an outdoor activity section to use body weight equipment to improve your fitness levels. So good. Kids could spend a good few hours here as the parents wanted to BBQ or just relax. Plenty of man made shade and trees. A bit of history at the other end of the park with more clean public toilets available there.

It's definitely one of the best playground and kids friendly nature parks in Australia! Our boys love it so much! Highly recommend for families with small and/or big kids!

Absolutely fabulous park. We came across it when waiting on our new car. Spaces for all aged kids to explore, unique equipment, cool sandpit. There are bbqs, plenty of shaded areas. Even a cafe on site for the adults or kids with meals, snacks, coffee, etc. You can either eat in the restaurant or take away to the park. Further along there was also an exercise area with fixed equipment. Great space to stop if travelling with kids and need a break.

What an incredible park and playground for kids, playing along with a forest of millions of Bat - flying fox. Slogan on board says "living with flying fox" Lots of playground set up with giant fun slides, swings and flying fox ~ super popular Don't forget the amazing looking and popular cafe on site next to playground. Tons of 3P Parking next to the park available with disability parking as well. Strongly recommended.

Wow what a great playground! More than that, it's like someone said 'pick all your favourite things about every modern playground and put them in one place'. It has a Cafe, undercover picnic tables, sand pit, equipment for all ages, water play area, street parking, shade, great landscaping and green spaces. Great work Tamworth council. I want one of these in Wollongong!

If you're looking for a playground that your kids will like I highly recommend Tamworth regional playground! They have so many stuff there that your kids will definitely love! Even teenager can enjoy this playground 💗

Awesome park a must see

Great park for a picnic and to take the kids to let of some steam and also to take a look at the history of country music in Tamworth

Always a must when in Tamworth. Proper burgers.

What a lovely place to have a picnic with your family or just your lunch break. There are toilets and a plenty of seats. There is a path that goes around the park so ideal for prams, wheelchairs, elderly or disabled. At the entrance there are portraits busts of old country singers.

Wish there was an information map of where the statues were as we tried to locate them all, as the information centre was closed. However, it would be a great place to have a picnic day or night kids playground and pond that has ducks little fish and 🐢

A really great playground with plenty of kid friendly activities and even a place for adults to work out

Awesome place! Tamworth has so many gems like this park. I really enjoyed this place. Bring your food and enjoy ur time. PLEASE DONT FEED BREAD TO BIRDS!!

Service? Excellent. Food? To die for! And prices are super reasonable. LOVE LOVE LOVE Thanks for making our 4 year anniversary so special! <3

Kath and team has gone above and beyond to make us feel special and treated us like gold. This is one birthday Dorothea will NEVER forget. Thank you and PS: the food was exceptional!!

I had the Soul Chicken Soup. It was very salty and bland. For the price I was expecting a dish that was a bit more exciting. My partner had the ribs which were good.

Very family friendly. The staff were all so welcoming to us and our 6 month old. They went above and beyond be make sure we were comfortable (even when we spilt our drink). Food was also fantastic. Overall a great experience all round.

Their food never fails to disappoint. Some or most on the menu I thought were overpriced although I don’t mind spending money on food lol. Service otherwise 10/10. Definitely recommend if you visit Tamworth.

The atmosphere and staff are amazing! The pork skewers are pretty good but the rice that comes with it is a bit basic.

Had a really great fresh meal here on the peak weekend of the Tamworth Country Music Festival. We sat outside and the staff were friendly & accomodating, my salmon was beautifully cooked with beans crunchy (just how I love them), hubby’s calamari was good too. We’ll be back to try more of the menu.

Outside parking (high vehicles) is very tight and often fills up pretty quickly. The centre is always clean but parents room has been pretty gross a few times I've been. The cleaning lady there was pretty rude. Sweeping under my sons chair as we were still eating.

Still as good as ever. Same lovely woman running Donut King as when I used to work at one of the retailers there.

Always a pleasure to shop at Tamworth Shopping World with a great variety of shops and services, and a good place to eat. There is good parking and clean toilets. There is wheelchair access throughout the stores and wheelchair accessible parking close by. Serviced by Woolies and BigW you can get all of your shopping done.

Santa photos 2024 were so great, really lovely team of people accommodating a lot of kids in a very busy time of year with smiles and professionalism. Thanks so much to you all, we love our photo.

Always a great experience, large variety of shops and food, plenty of undercover parking.

Nice big shopping centre plenty to wander thru. Just gotto find that bargin Parking was a breeze unlike muswellbrook big w marketplace centre with its 45degs slope carpark wow trolleys just take off

Great place to Find just about everything in the aircon.. Hot food, Food Shopping, Manchester shops, hair dressers, nails, post office, news agency, hand bags jewellery.. its all there! You can't go past this very comfortable complex.. relaxing atmosphere..

We went for breakfast this morning Sunday 23rd Feb. Ordered flat white/ tea/ bacon and poached eggs/ workers roll. Rude child serving. She was smug, and condescending. Boy who delivered our meals should not be allowed to have customer contact. Rude. Coffee was hot and delicious. No bacon came with bacon and poached eggs. Eggs were so hard and dry. Didn’t bother asking what happened to bacon. My roll was below standard too. Egg was fried into oblivion. I gave some my bacon to my hubby. Poorly presented. Order not correct. Rude children staff. Coffee nice. Expensive for what we got. Do better and presentation and being nice is everything including not wearing daisy dukes shorts. Having a 12 year old girl tell me I’m welcome!! Smarty pants. Do better

Professional and excellent service, food is of a high quality and reasonably priced. Staff are easy, friendly, helpful, always happy and willing to talk to you. I usually go during the week, as on the weekend's younger ones help out and sometimes service is not as high (E.g. trying to take your plate when you are still eating).

I walked into the cafe and from the beginning the owner was so kind. I explained I had coeliac disease and she was so accommodating, personally going to the kitchen to make my food to ensure there was no cross contamination. Thank you so much! Lovely place.

Friendly, efficient, good value, cooked the way I like it and the sunny side of the street! Stopped in for a late breakfast (all day breakfast - yay!). Eggs Benedict - yolks hard. Just the way I ordered. Perfect for me. And a large soy chai. Yum. Sunny after a cold morning inside. Thank you!

First time I've been to Inland after hearing good reviews and was really impressed. Good friendly service, great coffee and delicious breakfast. Will definitely be back 😁

Getting there early is best during TCMF with outdoor seating. Limited deviating from the menu, possibly due to the busy time of year. Great fresh squeeze juice. Great Macchiato. No bathroom facilities a short walk to Central shopping centre.

Great breakfasts, great coffee. (Coffees are huge!) Service with a smile. My wife described the pancakes as the best she's ever had.

The food was absolutely delicious, and we felt truly pampered by the attentive service from the team, who worked seamlessly together. The overall vibe of the restaurant was lively and energetic for TCMF 2025. However, the decor seemed a bit off, leaning more towards Spanish than Vietnamese.

A very nicely presented restaurant. The beef noodle soup was very good. Service was nice too. Wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.

Had beef pho here, a bit disappointed that rice noodles were clumped up, and most of the noodles are broken. Overall flavour is leaning towards sweeter soup base.

Had lunch here for the second time. The food was really quite delicious, the service was great, and overall presentation of the restaurant, staff, and food was good. I would be quite happy to go back. I am going to add this place to my list of great places to eat lunch and I am definitely going back to try more of their menu. If you like beef massaman I highly recommend you try it here. One of the best ones I have eaten.

Nice beef pho and fresh rolls All meals coming out looked really nice

Absolutely delicious food and great options for vegetarians - I ordered the Tofu & Veggies Satay with coconut rice and my boyfriend ordered the Chicken Satay. Heavenly! Lovely, friendly service and a buzzing atmosphere. Can't wait to visit again!

The Veitnamese dishes we ordered for our dinner were very yummy. Very happy with our choices. Menu full of choices but they are not all Vietnamese cuisine, they are more a mix of Asian cuisine, but still happy with what we had. Plenty of spaces and clean. Will be back to try other menu.

We recently found the most wonderful food. I'm working through the extensive menu, 12 and counting. Emily and the staff are willing to chat , no matter how busy.

A bit on the expensive side. Very nicely decorated. Food good quality and quantity. Service efficient. Usually parking out front. Extensive bar. Clean amenities

Never had a bad meal here. Quality food & quick service.

The best Chinese I’ve ever tasted! Thank you so much!! Scallops with ginger and eschallots, honey chicken, combination satay and chicken with cashew !! And the service, so lovely and efficient and the food was simply the best

One of the best Asian restaurants I've been to. The meals were man size, and simply delicous. The staff super friendly. A must to try.

Lovely food, came for lunch, ate too much. Came back for dessert after dinner. Best banana fritters yet. Enjoyed Jenni’s banter.

Used to be alright, But now wouldn't rate much plus they increased the prices!! Not worth the $$. The service had one waitress trying to serve however many people and she didnt even look like she wanted to be there.. Also if you want to take your leftovers the plastic containers cost you a $1 and you have to put the food in yourself...

Best steak I have had in Tamworth so far. Very juicy, soft and easy to chew. But the potato on the side was not seasoned very well, could be improved if there’s salt and pepper in a grinder on the table. Pre-grounded pepper powder just don’t have that kick you need for potato and steak.

Steak and ribs cooked to perfection. Sauces were mint. Money well spent. Cannot recommend highly enough. Rolling out of here in a stupidly happy food and cocktail coma.

Sensational food and great steak last night. Unique ordering system, done via a tablet. For an out of the way place, the food was excellent and priced well for the quality. Staff were lovely.

Absolutely amazed with the quality of real African foods. Heaps of meat and seafood dishes. We have to come back again multiple times just to try the variety of foods available. Highly recommended for large or small groups.

Wonderful meal. meat cooked to perfection. Quantity and quality Atmosphere was lovely the staff were friendly and professional. Made for a wonderful evening

This place is amazing, even a year or two later. The kids meals are so massive, loved the mussels in peri peri, the steaks were perfect, giant prawns were immaculate. If youre in the area it is so worth stopping. Thanks again for your hospitality and we cant wait to cook at home with the peri peri sauce available to take away. Youve outdone yourselves this time x

Fine dining prices but you get handed a tablet to order which is clunky, feels like a takeaway chain. Ribs were massively overcooked, dry and stuck to the bone, you only get one side included so it doesn't even look like a meal on the plate, unless of course you pay even more for extras. No one asked how my meal was, had to ask for water, if you're going to charge what you do get rid of the tablets and do better.
