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.

It was quite windy when we visited Albany so we got to see the turbines moving quite well. Loved the fact that you can walk under the wind farm and also there are great views out across the landscape to see them all. Would recommend.

I wasn't sure i wanted to visit this place, but I'm definitely glad I did. I loved the little random plaques with local noongah information, random quotes as well as the information about the windmills. The wild flowers were lovely and the views were spectacular....i highly recommend visiting for beautiful sunset.

One of our favourite spots in Albany, makes for a great day combined with the other attractions of the Torndirrup national park and its coastal attractions. The turbines themselves are very impressive in the landscape and the walk path and viewing platforms make for some stunning photos both of the turbines and the gorgeous coastline. Lots of parking, toilets on site, and free!

These elegant structures from a line along the coastal parts of Albany. Sitting underneath these graceful, modern windmills your heart beats to the rhythm of the blades turning. Well constructed, short walking paths give you the best views.

We absolutely loved this place, went on a windy day which certainly helps create an atmosphere, the sound of the huge turbines thumping around above is wonderful, entry is completely free and there was hardly anyone about. There's verious paths you can take (some long some short) that snake between the turbines so it's great for family or those keen on walking, there's glorious views over the Great Australian Bight.
We spotted a sign pointing you in the direction of The Bibbulmun Track which is one of the great long distance walk trails, apparently it goes from Kalamunda up near Perth ending down here in Albany, we couldn't do the walk from where we were though as we were with family but otherwise it would have been stunning given the views. Plenty of parking and there's various information boards dotted about and toilet facilities.

Weather was great when we visited and you would surely need a perfect day to enjoy the walk and sight of the wind farm. The walk wasn`t that tough and there were different options. Many rest points with a 2 seater bench along the walk to enjoy the magical view of the windmill and the ocean

Easy little walk up to 2x lookouts for sunset or a level walk underneath one of them. Take a jumper, it's windy!! Lots of parking available and toilets too.
Pretty cool to see the size of the wind farm and how much energy it generates.

Not everybody's cup of tea but when you sit by and watch the wind turbines go round it kind of hypnotises you. Found it just really nice to sit and chill watching them. The Bibbleman track also goes through here

We planned this for our last day and sadly the weather spoilt the visit. The visibility was poor and the wind blew and rain came, so what could have been some spectacular views didn't happen. Plenty of tracks to walk.

Located on the same road as the Gap and Natural Bridge, the Albany Wind Farm is a nice 10min stop as the lookout point is located fairly close to the car park area. The lookout is also situated next to one of the windmills where one can walk right up to the base of this sustainable energy producer.
For those keen, there were also pathways that lead to a local vantage view point of Albany and one that leads further into the wind farm.
Next to the car park is the toilet block. No tickets necessary for this car park stop.

From the car park there are good surface footpaths to all of the lookouts and the wind turbines.
The footpath from the turbines to the coast is also wheelchair friendly, however you would need to return the same way as there is a section with steps to continue on the circular path. The view over the ocean is worth the 5 mins walk though

How much is admission for a family?
Written 13 November 2015
It's per car National park fees I think it's about $12 a day, if you're looking to visit a few National parks over several days you can get Park passes from visitor centres or tourist centres
