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.

If you are travelling western Queensland take the time to stop and visit this Museum. Very Clean and well presented, Cafeteria serves Great Coffee and Light meals. We stayed one night in their accommodation and would highly recommend this to anyone. Comfortable bed, well appointed rooms, BBQ Facilities available for Guests. Most of all sitting outside in the evening enjoying the Serenity of out back Queensland is something everyone should experience. Highly recommended

Super informative tour by Corey. Worth the drive to see first hand how the prehistoric
Dinosaurs lived, their enormous size and how
the museum is painstakingly re-creating them to their actual size. Can't wait to go back in another year or so.

We did the one hour Dinosaur tour plus the family prep activity. We were lucky that being off season it was not busy and we got a private tour.

The staff were all very friendly and extremely knowledgeable making what can only be described as a fantastic experience.

The town of Eromanga is well worth a look around, this is the serious outback and sealed road all the way.

A visit to this museum should be mandatory for all Qld school children.

We stayed. At Coopers Lodge on site at the museum. Excellent accommodation.

What a delight. Whilst quite remote this museum is a must visit on any trip to south western Queensland. The introductory video presentation is both novel and highly informative. The visit to the work area was accompanied by very clear and concise exploration by the guide. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The on-site cafe finishes off a great experience.

The Natural History Museum is located just out of Eromanga, centre of Australia. It’s new, with dedicated tour guides and history Anthropologists there to ensure you have an informative visit.meet Cooper, a 95 million year old Dinosaur. Stay at the fantastic Coopers Lodge, 200 metres from the entrance.Am
And ….. we travelled there on sealed roads from Quilpie, an hour away.
The experience includes a multi media theatre experience. And, the coffee is great also. Take the kids, the grandkids and the family. We took our Labradoodle who now thinks she is a baby Dinosaur.

Thank you for your comprehensive and fantastic review. We're so pleased you enjoyed your visit and our tour. We're glad we could accommodate your Labradoodle in our accommodation at Cooper's Country Lodge. It's a shame we currently do not allow dogs into the museum and workshop so he could see the bones. We hope to see you again in the future. Kind regards, ENHM

Fabulous tour, very well paced, comprehensive, fascinating. An absolute must!
The tour guide was very well informed, and could answer a diverse range of questions.

Seeing Cooper was a magical experience.

We were stranded by floodwaters in Northern NSW so it wasn't possible to arrive as arranged. A simple explanation to the staff here and I received a very courteous note and full refund.
This is very refreshing in these COVID times where you keep running into stuff beyond your control.
We will be visiting you at some stage over the next (who knows?) months.
Thanks Again

We had done the Winton dinosaur experience a couple of days before hand, we simply loved the Eromanga experience. Winton was glossy and lavishly done, this was a real local experience, and complimented everything we had seen in Winton. The lady we went with was passionate and very informative. Down to earth and more hands on. If you want to understand more, come to Eromanga.

We took a route here a few days ago and it was excellent, a smaller set up than Winton and as a result we got to see everything much more closely. The practical demonstrations were great and the guide was really knowledgeable.

We also got to see proper dinosaur fossils really close up.

Highly recommended.

We did the 1hr tour and also the habds-on prep session. It was incredible to be handling a 100,000 year old megafauna bone... and a unique experience to be able to participate in the process.
The staff are fantastic, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and with an outstanding customer service ethic. We learnt so much about dinosaurs and megafauna.
Cafe was also good, home made quiche, cakes and good coffee - which is not easy to find round here.
We loved the whole thing. Would definitely recommend it.
