Blue Mountains Heritage Centre reviews
42Great looking centre, shame about the staff not being too helpful to a vistor. No walking trail maps available for any walks for the whole Blue Mountains I found very odd.
Fabulous place. Really helpful staff at the info centre. Viewed mid morning so the sun was on the bridal veil Falls. Evidence of the bushfires reminded us of how close it came to wiping out so many towns.
Helpful staff member Luke was very friendly and welcoming. Exhibition of photographs from the recent bushfires very nicely set out in the theatrette. Nice variety of gifts in the gift shops. Plenty of information on walks you can take in and around Govatts Leap.
Blue Mountains National Park visitors centre at Govett's Leap in Blackheath, NSW. Good bookshop and information centre. Take the time to view the excellent audiovisual display in the theatre area.
Very helpful staff members! Went in to enquire about walks that were still open after the bushfires and they were happy to help provide us with info and recommendations for alternatives. The centre itself is lovely!
Very easy course of tracking is available to lookout. Parking space is a bit limited in busy time.
Beautiful! The canyon was amazing! Beautiful walk!
You have many options for hike between 15 minutes to hours!
Give it a try! They also sell beautiful natural product at the center.
I’ll be back soon to see more!
No free maps available. We were after a map of the walking tracks in the area, but they were only there to buy. A bit disappointing.
Very good place, free parking but not many available. You gotta get there no later than 9am. Toilet, water to buy, nice service at the centre with info as to where to go, etc. Quick walk to the lookout.
I've got some help when I sprained my ankle during Blue mountains bushwalk. Thank you for the cold gel compress ️️Made me better come back home. ️
Cameron, Cathy and Lester were wonderful guides and the nicest people. What a credit to your organisation!
Excellent heritage work by the government to have such an infrastructure for the community. Great place to stop by on the way to the lookouts, also free WiFi, toilets, and friendly staff (very much necessary!) :)
Great staff, film about the national park was really good and the centre itself well worth a visit.
Its at a very serene location. Amidst the greenery u can easily grab a cup of coffee and explore around or feel warm and cozy sitting inside watching the blue mountains presentation. The view point walk trail is nearby to this center. The lady at the center was very hospitable and nice. The mobile network isn't good. But the center provides free WiFi. You can purchase few souvenirs if you want to. But its very far from the railway station. For people new to the place and without personal vehicle its little inconvenient. May be better transportation service to the heritage center on weekends can help to improve the tourism quotient of the place. Having said that still nature lovers will love this place situated in the cute little town of Blackheath.
Staff were extremely helpful and friendly providing valuable advice about the hikes. There is also free internet and they even loan personal locator beacons if you are going on one of the more advanced or remote walks
Worth a stop if your in the area doing some walks. There is great information on the walks and the region. The woman working there was extremely pleasant and helpful. I also saw an elderly couple come in to do the virtual reality canyon experience, which warmed my heart.
Well set up info centre. Lady at the desk was really friendly and helpful. The building reminded me of Ranger Headquarters from Skippy. "What's that Skip? Sonny's stuck in the toilet? "
A beautiful area to hike in the sub-tropical rainforest. The centre had lots of interesting information about the area, flora and fauna.
Claustral canyon VR show is one of the major attractions of the centre. Besides, necessary information along with a mini shop are also there. The trail routes are also valuable for the hikers. Check the timetable of public transport from there to avoid hassle while returning.
Has a great collage of stories along the walls on how the original walking tracks were built, along with photos from that era.
