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.
