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.

A very interesting and absolutely fascinating collection. Well presented with lots of interesting information. The staff were excellent - really knowledgeable, interested and informative. We spent almost two hours there.

Highly recommended!

If you are in to clocks, then this is definitely the place to go! Filled with an array of young and old clocks of all sizes and types. An amazing range. You can have a tour guide walk you around and show you some pretty cool clocks and give you all the info on them (as we as get them to chime) or, you can walk around at your own pace and look at them, some will no doubt bring back memories
$35 for 2 people $15 senior, $20 adult
Don't forget to look at the sun dial out the front for the correct time (on a sunny day) and the community fun clock to the right as you exit clock museum ... very very clever!

Wet day so we thought we'd give it a try - weren't expecting much of interest. Turned out to be really good - plenty to look at (never seen so many clocks!) and all of it interesting, quirky, or decorative. Recognised some from our youth so nostalgia came into the equation as well. Definitely worth a visit - I think even the kids could get a kick out of the displays - certainly adults would be happy to wander.

Was so special to visit as when I was a kid my mum volunteered at the museum before it moved to the basin. Have not been back now for 41 years! Loved seeing some of the old clocks that brought me such delight as a child. Fascinating place for all ages.

One of the front of house ladies gave us a tour of all the clocks. It was fascinating to see how things worked and to hear some of the stories of where the clocks came from.
