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.

Lovely helpful staff. They enthused our four kids from the moment we arrived. Kids got to bundy on and off. They were also given a questionnaire about things in the museum to keep them interested.
Exhibits were amazing, ranging from old clothes, sewing machines etc to old horse drawn carriages, a well, an old bush school building, a forge, a dairy etc. Lots of info in each area. The kids (and adults) loved it - so much to see!

Wasn’t really sure whether it would interest us but absolutely glad we visited. A credit to the KV community capturing their history and a great little bush walk too. Well done.

The Kangaroo Valley Pioneer Village Museum shows the lifestyle of early settlers to Australia. We discovered houses and tools from the middle of the 19th to early 20th century. You can explore old trades like a blacksmith, saddle maker etc.
It was dry and a bit run down. The people running the place ignored us when we first arrived and there was nobody at the reception to collect the $10 per adult. After we had looked in every building, taken photos and tried out the suspension bridge and barrel roll, we were eventually approached by someone to ask for payment. Overall, it was disappointing and I wouldn't recommend this Museum unless they improve it, including the Geology display.

The Museum is a bit scrappy - but gives a really interesting story of the family from the UK and how their family grew in the area.

Went sunday long weekend and paid $10 for entry and expecting some education and good display but absolutely rip off place. It looks like someone's garage and put museum name on it. Only 4section of house which nothing much inside and don't waste money. I have seen so much better museum and settlers museum without ridiculous entry fee.

Stop at the falls 10 km before you descend into Kangaroo Valley. Bring your driving skills its a long and winding road both down to and out of Kangaroo valley.
The Museum is interesting, no staff at exhibits during the winter months ( self guided)
Places to eat along the main street.
Oops! we didn't see any Kangaroos

I was very surprised by how much information was in the museum. The entry fee was so cheap and there was a lot to see!
I especially enjoyed the suspension bridge

We loved our visit here. It was a last minute decision, but we were so glad we came. We will absolutely come back and will be bringing our visitors here in future. Very well set out, particularly enjoyed the story on the loudspeaker in the original settlers house. The bush walk over the suspension bridge was great, if we had more time we would have done the extended 'red' walk too. Highlight was meeting Owen the puppy - he was adorable, thanks for letting us gush over him :-)
