Tourist information center

Great little centre with lots of historical and marine information regarding the area. They have a large tank set up to show the coral and fish in the surrounding reef. They have a display of live reptiles. They also had a bus the American services used during the war, which the kids thought was wonderful as you could get on it and sit in seats with interactive screens you could watch. Lovely little Cafe next door with delicious food and toilets are also in the centre. The whole centre was wheelchair accessible too.

Lots of interesting and memory jogging items. Well worth seeing.

The gift shop was fantastic , if your into souvenirs , they have a little something of everything , ranging from kitsch to rather artistic or educational . Prices are what you'd expect but reasonable . The staff are friendly and courteous , will go out of their way to help you . The building itself is a sight to behold such beautiful architecture and the grounds are a fun walk around with picnic places seating and table in an old train carriage , lawns and big old gum trees . And of course you have to have your photo taken poking your head out of the cutouts of cousin Jack " and " cousin Jenny " . What a hoot ."

Great to see the old Grey mare Gunsyd

Great experience! Loved the view from the Desert View Point and driving around the Pinnacles was amazing! Very well put together. The staff at the Visitor Centre were amazing as well as they told us more about the area and suggested a few beaches and other attractions to visit. Will definitively come back as there is a lot to see

Really good spot to call into to find out about the Central Coast. We were greated by very friendly and helpfull staff. Plenty of maps and idea for having a great day. Nice clean toilets. Lets hope they dont close this one like they did in Gosford.

We came by here since it was raining. We did stop by before to get some information regarding what sights to see but came back to do the Discovery Center. There are a few souvenirs in the shop too. They also have information regarding the status of the Francois Peron National Park.There is a small gallery on the left of the entrance which is free to enter and does have quite a few spectacular photographs of the area. There was also a 3D movie Fire on the Water" about the HMAS Sydney which was sad and informative. It ran every 30 minutes so you can easily wait for the next screening.The Discovery Center costs $11 for adults and $6 for children but it is a multiday pass so you are able to come back in at a later day

Bit expensive for the ferry over to penguin Island but it is a nice peaceful place and the staff are very knowledgeable about the little penguinsAlso managed to see a sea lion so that's cool

Staff very friendly and helpful. Worth a visit

Great view with a short walk to Elanda. Great to get to by boat or kayak
