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.

Really lovely little museum. Well set out. It was good for kids. A little bit of everything (geological history, recent history, fossils, aboriginal history). Well presented for kids. A highlight was showing the kids how the volcano shaped the region with a big screen video which was really well done.

For a small museum it has some interesting information about the Tweed area. The exhibits are informative and well set out, if you can tackle the stairs out the front there is a lift to the second floor inside if needed.

My six year old loved the sand art workshop inspired a local indigenous artist. We loved looking around the museum and learning about some local history. The staff and volunteers were really friendly and helpful. It was fun finding Gertie the mouse, too.

In Murwillumbah for the day (staying at Kingscliff) after visiting the Growers' Market, we decided to visit the museum. The fascinating history of Murwillumbah is well laid out and makes it easy to imagine life there in earlier times. Helpful and enthusiastic staff were a bonus.

Next time you're travelling down the coast from Queensland to NSW, why not stop at Murwillumbah for morning tea or lunch and check out the Tweed Regional Museum. It's in a lovely restored old building, is wheelchair accessible, has changing displays and is free.

Hi Cathy - you are too kind! Thanks for leaving us a great review! The building was the former the original Tweed Shire Council Chambers of 1915, with a contemporary extension that opened in August 2014. See you again soon!

Take the time to visit this museum if you are in the area. It's in the old council building which has been extended to fit their exhibits. They have some great exhibits about the local area but I found very interesting the 400 odd items of a gem collection donated to them by the family of a deceased person. Vey good museum

A rare surprise, is this wonderful country Museum in Murwillumbah. It highlights the hard work of our forefathers in the timber, sugar and banana industries. Very frendly staff and volunters to offer just the right amount of assistance. Fairly new to the Museum is the rock, stone and gem collection. Although not an expect, I suggest the Museum has here something to be very proud of and a standard of collection that would match anywhere else. If you happen to be visiting the Margaret Olley gallery, I definitely recommend dropping into the Museum in town also. Thanks Murwillumbah Museum
