    Fabulous outdoor bird show featuring magnificent prey birds. Jeremy was a fantastic guide with very knowledgeable information about Alice Springs, it’s culture and wildlife.

    The best outback original experience you can imagine. Chris goes out of his way to make this a really special and personal experience. Just go: you won’t regret it!

    Had the most incredible time! Thoroughly recommend the 7 day comfort trek booked through Australian Walking Holidays! We were so impressed with our three wonderful guides. Their professional service, contagious passion & detailed knowledge of the ancient landscapes, individual care, impressive culinary skills & good natured energy and sense of fun delivered by Stac, Tom & Karl. You guys are the best and delivered to all sixteen of us the holiday of a lifetime - thank you 🤠

    Loved this museum. The virtual reality headset gave you such a realistic aerial view over Central Australia while experience what happens on board the aircraft while transporting a patient. The hologram was brilliant and answered every question you could have, while presenting in such an engaging way. The museum was so much better than I expected. The staff were lovely also. Well worth the visit.

    Wasn’t sure what to expect with ‘the oldest buildings in NT’ but I was impressed - more so with the history than complex.
    The staff were friendly and coffee hot so we just wandered around and read the interp.
    it’s November so not busy at all with mainly people stopping by for refreshments off the nearby walking tracks.
    It’s all certainly worth a visit to take a look around but it shouldn’t be your sole visit.

    Located opposite the RFDS museum this is well worth a look. A very informative, but also humorous, talk about snakes and reptiles by the owner surprised many of us. Snakes, thorny devils, goannas, and the star of the show, Terry the Crocodile can all be seen here. Great place for all ages.

    Great place to get an overview visually of the town of Alice Springs. Very informative signs about the many theatres of war.

    We visited twice during our trip to Alice. We were warmly welcomed even though we arrived 15 mins before closing time. Kids were given a little activity to do while we browsed.
    We expressed interest in a particular work and Karl held it for us for a week until we returned.
    He was happy to tell us about the work but wasn’t pushy, let us ponder it and look at it quietly on our own.
    We purchased two paintings in the end and couldn’t be happier with them and the overall experience.

    Not far out of town and is sign posted.
    A short walk over good ground to the site. In November there isn’t a lick of water in the river so you could walk the bed although not easy under foot.
    Not too busy in November with just some instagrammers hanging around.
    Worth a quick visit along with some other areas of the range.

    We had a very positive experience, especially dealing with Glen, who has first been very helpful with all the information provided, helping us to organize our unforgettable trip to the red center. He then stayed overtime to help me book a special tour for my partner's birthday and finally helped us to postpone our tour when we got an issue with our car and we had to delay our plans. Tash also helped us and even printed out a list of mechanics in town. We had more then a normal visitor center experience, we felt taken care of as a friend would do. A big thank to all the team! We'll never forget our week in the Red Center...

    just visit this one and forget the rest (omnistron gorge, glen helen gorge, etc).

    ormistron gorge is so-so

    glen helen gorge resort is closed so you cant access the property en route to the gorge itself, although there is a separate 15 min trail leading to it.
