5 /5 Titch Moynihan: Finally managed to visit this museum after many attempts and never finding it open. Its a fascinating place and the volunteer staff are super friendly and knowledgable. We particularly liked the video about the old tram, as we never knew before that it ran all the way to the back beach. Can definitely reccomend this for a visit and hope to come back again one day. Its also only $5 per adult, so well worth the money.

5 /5 Edith santosa: There are some amazing volunteers who are ready to give detailed information about the early history of British first settlement at Sorrento as long as the history of indigenous people of boon wurrung. Many historical things are collected in this museum and the volunteers will give all the story about them.
