RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility

This visit was an amazing experience. We were welcomed by a staff that on few words told us what can we see and what order would work best. That really saved us a lot of time. The 2 hologram stories quite informative, about the bombing of Darwin and how Royal Flying Doctor Service was born and is operated. We checked out a plane with RFDS equipment and the virtual reality experience about bombing of Darwin was quite a treat. The souvenirs store had lots of new and original items. They passed with Flying colours. Highly recommended!

A very interesting place, a lot of interactive things to do and see. Give a donation when there as you never know when you will need to use them.

Excellent, in particular the virtual reality goggles to be put in the seat of the Darwin bombing, well represented.

Excellent interactive centre with VR WWII.hologram shows and royal flying dr service history.highly reccomend

This place was amazing loved the virtual reality headsets it was incredible. Although in the theatre room they could really do with raising the chairs from the front to the back a bit cause it was very hard to see anything with everyone in the seats in front of you.

The VR and 3D experiences were underwhelming / radically oversold (VR's frame rate was atrocious and the 3D experience was hardly legible - would have been far better in 2D).
Great organisation though!

Was a great experience
A must go to
Great to learn history about bombing of Darwin and history on RFDS
Not just pictures here

With some experience now visiting RFDS experiences this location is a superb example very clean and spacious with a mini cinema and areas to be immersed into the history and importance of the Royal Flying Doctors Service and the lives of people who's determination and drive not to mention generosity from donations give us this absolutely vital emergency service.

Combined with the Bombing of Darwin Experience here you will want approx 90mins maybe even 2hours there.

Bus services or even taxi are easy but it is quite a short walk down from CBD of Darwin across the sky walk and out to the wharf.

Fantastic facility with great insight. I loved being able to walk right through a kitted out aircraft and follow it up with a VR experience. Worth a visit.

I had no idea this existed until I was driving around with my friend from interstate.
So much attention to detail had gone into the planning of this small museum, and although it's small, don't be fooled! It is packed with so much information and every 20 minutes the air raid siren goes off, to which you go to the middle of the building.and I am going to leave it there because I won't ruin your experience.
It has lots of information on the Royal Flying Doctors as well as the Darwin bombings.
There was so much I didn't know about the bombings and I can't wait to come back and watch the viewings next time.

So disappointing. Have no idea what this is like. Walked out here. Knew it closed at 3. No posting that last entry is at 2. So arriving at 5 minutes past means no entry. Would not have bothered to come if this essential information was posted anywhere other than the door

Absolutely loved this place. The history of the RFDS and The Bombing of Darwin is well worth the visit. It very well set up and takes u back in time to really understand the history. The virtual goggle experience was amazing taking u through the time of the bombing. Giving you a sense of what it was like. I highly recommend a visit to this place

The 3D displays are wonderful. I thought I had some insight into the RFDS, but this exhibition just made me admire the founders more. The facility also has an exhibition on the first afraid on Darwin, which was concentrated on the wharf.

It's an inexpensive and very informative outing.

Absolutely amazing, here they have vertual reality headset with recovering that transforms you back to the bombing of Darwin. It was like I was there. You can even look inside a flying doctor plane. Well worth supporting they do a wonderful job in the country.

Worth a visit the interactive and virtual viewing of the Darwin Bombing was amazing to learn about.
There was also the history of the flying Doctors.

This place is an amazing look back into the history of the japanese attack on Darwin in 1942 and the resilience of the Australian people to survive. Also the story and history of the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the impact it has made on the people of the Australian outback. The vision of some extraordinary people to begin this work many years ago and to see the success it is today. Definitely worth a visit.

Very interactive. 2 movies to watch about the flying doctor, simulations of WW2 bombing with VR. Replica of à flying doctor air craft.very interesting and friendly staff.

Loved the virtual reality experience. So much interesting information on The Darwin bombing and the RFDS history.

This was an amazing facility.so clean.the virtual reality experience was so very well done.an awesome tour not to be missed.

Well worth a visit, the VR section was great and being able to get into a plane was a eye opener to what they do for people in remote areas
