Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Visitor Centre has just had a refurbishment. It is incredibly well lit, with stunning views of Benalla Lake. The centre also has stunning local artwork on display.
There is a gift store selling a selection of local products. Information brochures are on hand, or their incredible staff will recommend something to suit your needs. I left with a few brochures that were tailored to my interests.
I visited recently on a weekend and the lady was really helpful.

Spent quite alot of time here the staff are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their town and area.
The Ned Kelly museum is wonderful. And the art sculpture and performance space adjacent to the visitors centre that took almost 30 years to create and construct is quite delightful.
The town also boasts street art more than 50 murals to walk around and view.
So much to do in this gem of a town. I will be back

Very helpful with what to see and do in Benalla and the surrounding area. The Ned Kelly museum attached, was very interesting. But some of the other pieces in the other rooms, like the stunning collection of women's clothes (donated by one woman), were just beautiful! And the incredible doll's house built and decorated by one woman over her lifetime was just amazing! Really, a "must see" when in Benalla.

I visited the Visitor Centre to start my Ned Kelly adventure and this was the perfect place. The centre had a museum which was very interesting and it contained some significant articles pertaining to the legend of Ned. Perhaps the most important was the green sash he was wearing at Glenrowan, complete with his blood! The video was also interesting. Rosie at the Centre was exceptionally helpful and friendly. I was also able to purchase a book there which became my main guide for the rest of my adventure. I would recommend anyone stop here. One of the nicest Visitor Centres I have been to anywhere in the world.

We stopped in this town for lunch and to have a look around. We thought that the information centre could have had more on different areas of Victoria.

We do have an extensive range of Official Visitor Guides covering Victoria. To help us service the needs of our visitors it would be helpful if you could please email tourism@benalla.vic.gov.au and advise what we have missed. This will then assist your fellow travelers.

As we were following Ned Kelly, this is a must see stop. With some original attractions such as the cell door and even the sash he was given when saving a local boy from drowning. There were also other collections to see one of which was Ladies fashion, what a great collection!

For a small charge one can view a large collection of ladies fashion from 1920 onwards and a huge dolls house in addition to a lot of information and exhibits relating to Ned Kelly.
