This is one of those rare gems. While not overly large it's definitely worth the visit. Staff friendly and exhibits of a high standard, plus it's FREE!
Well presented small museum, worth a visit if passing by. The adjecent gift shop and cafe has a good variety.
It was an amazing experience with so much knowledge to offer for young and old. So much interesting history to read and look at. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit at the museum and we will definitely go again. Very friendly staff, extremely inviting. Highly recommend.
Without a doubt the best organisation of displays I have ever seen. An amazing journey through Australian wartime history, not one item displayed is a replica piece. A heartfelt thank you is also extended to WO2 Steven Black for the wealth of knowledge he shared with us on our self guided tour, also to our service men and women past and present. You can tell this museum is staffed with the most dedicated people, including the team in the caffee/restaurant.
Disappointing, Outside looks like a prison, It would be good if it was more interactive for kids Eg. Put the helicopter outside to allow decent photos, have a tank or truck kids can sit in... Have a rifle that people can touch, even a chained up decommissioned one you get a photo with You can buy full size metal replicas in WA, here everything is bolted down behind glass.. The museum itself is a giant gun safe you walk into, some of the best guns are upstairs, many busted old boys wouldn't go up the stairs, there's a lift but l don't think they'd bother The experience on site could/should motivate a kid to join later I think many opportunities/benefits of this site are missed by a boring design that doesn't engage the visitor Would a person of any age talk excitedly about visiting here? No of course not For a young boy to get a pic with an assault rifle would be the highlight of his year, creating a desire to hold it again, to fire a real one It's not hard to disign and build something interesting, This place is flat and lifeless Best thing about this museum is watching it get smaller in the mirror driving away
One of the best museums; a great deal of respect goes for all those who sacrificed their life spanning a number of conflicts from the Great War to present conflicts. The artifacts and detailed information presents great insights into the the struggles and honor amongst our servicemen. Highly recommended!
Superb museum: great number and variety of displays, all very well maintained. Heaps of information, so much that it's impossible to take it all in. Cherry on top: it's FREE!
This place is one of the best military museums in Australia. It is geared towards the Australian Infantry Regiments and as such it’s exhibits are about infantry, not the army or defence force as a whole. It is clean, tidy and very well priced. The staff are friendly and usually available for questions or a tour and are for the most part current of ex-serving members of the Infantry Corp. It may be a little out of the way but it is worth a drive as it will rekindle the Australian spirit within anyone with an ounce of patriotism. It also has a cafe that serves up some excellent grub and drinks. Staff- 5/5 Cleanliness- 5/5 Exhibits- 5/5 Food and drink- 5/5 Utilities- 5/5

Very lovey staff. They will provide you with information on places to go in the region. Made our day.
Went in to stretch our legs during a long and rainy drive. The lady working here was fantastic, invited us to go into the free gallery then sent us of with some extra information, booklets and dinner recommendations.
Toilets. What else would you need after a few hours in the car. No need to spend up just have an empty and be on your way. I presume there's some interesting info in the visitor centre. Hopefully, we will one day have high tech cameras that can capture the beauty of the orange pigface. Isn't the human eye an incredible sensor? These orange pigface are not at the visitors centre. Anyhow you've had something to read whilst you have a dump.
Very helpful staff and plenty of information. I bought a lovely postcard :)
Lovely clean bathroom facilities and great coffee
Great spot for a coffee and meal when doin road trips
Nice modern space offering a small selection of local products including chocolates, mustards, honey etc as well as the usual guide books. The staff are very pleasant and there is a very nice art gallery as well.
Does well in the presentation competition. Adequate brochure rack with staff to assist. Much of display stock seemed, to me, out of place. Art Centre is interesting.

I’ve traveled the world multiple times and this sun dial has captivated me every time. I’ve never felt more mesmerised by a sundial, in all its glory. I love it. From a technical perspective, it tells the time very well. But from my soul, it heals something in me.
Quirky big thing. Lovely rose gardens. Parking is difficult but doable
Located in the quaint regional town of Singleton is the largest sundial in the southern hemisphere. A must for all looking to explore the charms of regional Australia.
Worth a visit. And it's accurate. Checked against iPhone clock. Most certainly a marvel of engineering science. Free to visit.
Awesome huge sundial. Needs parking so people can stop and get out of their car to have a proper look.
Kinda cool.... to be honest I didn't realise it was a giant sundial and I think I only pulled over to answer a call on my phone.
Architecturally pleasing, very large in diameter and height, not the typical form you would expect from a sundial.
Once the BIGGEST BIG Sundials in the world but now it is still the BIGGEST BIG Sundial in the southern hemisphere and it is accurate !! A lovely sculpture, plenty of parking.

Amazing experience. So well laid out and so much history. Well worth a visit. The ladies from the society were wonderful and so knowledgeable. One of the best small museums I have seen.
Amazing. So much to see. My family really enjoyed the experience here. Very nice staff with professional insights.
Very exciting to see the history of singleton,very lovely couple running the place.
A wonderful museum full of very interesting items, machinery and history. A must see when you're in town. Run by lovely volunteers. A true insight into the history of Singleton. Lovely place, highly recommended.
Loved it found some Bates family history on cricket by accident, very friendly and helpful staff do visit
Super helpful people who work/volunteer here. Quite passionate about what they do and the service they provide. Grateful for the information they persisted to look for and couldn't have been more of a help!
Anyone interested in Singleton and surrounding areas will love this place
Such a great historical place! Massive collection! Very friendly team. Good place to bring children. Wants to return sometime. Open daily except Mondays.

A nice park to stop and have a packed lunch with the bats hanging out in the trees
It's a pretty park, but the bats have ruined the once beautiful trees and you can't hear the MC at either ANZAC Day or Remembrance Day services at the cenotaph due to the screeching bats
Nice park except for flying fox colony
Bats have ruined this beautiful park & SCC obviously dont care and haven't done anything about it and yet tax paying money goes towards anything from repairs to lawn maitnence and it can't be used.
Nice park, sitting area, next to petrol station, lots of flying foxes to watch.
The bats have finally reduced, but now the park feels lifeless without the huge old trees. Hopefully the trees fill in again and the bats stay away. Decent place to stop for a break although parking is poor. The toilets are acceptable.
Beautiful day and very tranquil. Was Until the mad traffic congestion started on George Street with school and mine workers going to work making it pretty noisy and worst of all, cars and trucks bumper to bumper and very chaotic in and around that area for hours.
A great park for picnics and walks. It has a band Rotunda and a Cenotaph, public toilets and a play area and the Singleton Historical Society & Museum is situated on the Bourke street side of the park, now that the bat problem has died down the ANZAC and Remembrance day service's are back in the park where they belong. If you're look for a good pub meal the Royal hotel/ motel is across the street and The Horse and Jocky is on the opposite side of the street next to the service station both have great pub style meals at great prices with a children's menu and children are welcome.

Very nice park with an iconic tank (Matilda) in front. Their child play area is well maintained. Enjoyed seating in Quota Court Sensory Garden in the early morning. They also have an information centre which is open 24 hours and a cafe (Parkview cafe).
Best price & good service for change or repair your tyre in Cabramatta
Excellent place. Lots of fun for kids. A long circuit for bikes or scooters for children and a lovely playground.
I recently visited RTownhead Park and was pleasantly surprised by its well-maintained facilities. The park itself is very scenic and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing day out. The toilets were remarkably clean and well stocked, a feature you don't commonly see in most parks. Kudos to the management for ensuring such great hygiene standards. Would highly recommend a visit to Townhead Park!
I'm putting the 5 stars down for the lovely Matilda II parked on the lawn that my kids loved, and what it could be, if the Hunter Valley bogans and druggos finally choose to stop using beautiful vintage weapons that once protected Australia in actual wars as their trailer park outbuilding rubbish bins.
This has been our must do first stop out of Sydney travelling north for a few trips now. Restrooms are always clean, feels safe, and well maintained. The coffee shop and souvenir shop just add to the overall appeal.
Great place to stop for a rest. Has playground for kids
Clean and tidy facilities. Can be busy with traffic
