Best info centre we have been to. No one hassled us as we walked in.
Lots of local products to purchase. The lady that helped us was super friendly and very knowledgeable about her home town. She knew exactly what we wanted to see and do

The Lightning Ridge Visitor Centre is not just worth a look in. It’s an absolute necessity for anyone visiting Lightning Ridge. Lightning Ridge is an absolute rabbit warren. There are so many tours and eclectic things to see and do, dirt roads and tracks going in all directions, thousands of random holes in the ground, you really need to drop by the visitor centre and grab a map and some info to make sense of it all.

It's ok. Everything in Lightning ridge is overpriced for what it is but hey you have driven all the way out there, silly to not do anything just because of price. My pick of what to do in lr would be do the black hand art at $48 and watch the videos you see there give you a good view on mining and covers what you see in the walk in mine. Also do the night show sparks $18 which again covers mining. Must do the artesian bore which is free.

Both the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. This place is a must if you're visiting. They know what is open and what's closed and when best to see the attractions. Highly recommended. Also great selection of gifts including clothing.

Provided good advice to my wife and I as tourists never been to Lightening Ridge before. Provided maps and suggested things to do. Staff very friendly, professional and engaging. Did not know about Grawin opal fields until told about same in the tourist visitor and turned to be a highlight of our visit to LR to do a day trip out yhere and visit the 3 Pubs in The Scrub. Recommend visiting here

Was told that Goodooga springs area was very boggy and not to visit after rain. The immediate camping area round the springs is gravel and aggregate and not boggy.
