This facility is to the point and well appointed. The example air ambulance is in great shape and accessible! The hologram of the bombing of Darwin is well done. The VR video is immersive and profs. Worth a visit!

Really enjoyed this facility. Both of the stories it tells, about the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the January 1942 bombing of Darwin Harbor, are fascinating. Both are told through a range of methods, many of them interactive. I especially liked the VR flight in a RFDS plane. Great storytelling!

Amazing virtual reality really shows the impact of flying doctors and the bombing of Darwin. Both exhibits were very informative I strongly recommend anyone visiting Darwin to put it on the to do list. Staff were super friendly and well versed in everything to do with the facility. Excellent

Thank you very much for your amazing review. We agree the Virtual Reality experience is immersing and should be experienced more than once. Our team is very proud to be able to share the two iconic stories, the heroic tales of the birth and growth of the RFDS and the drama and history of Bombing of Darwin Harbour.
Regards
RFDS Team

Worth it in so many ways. Covers the whole history of the RFDS and the bombing of Darwin in WWII. Entry fee supports the ongoing Service. There are excellent displays of various kinds and an interesting gift shop. The virtual surround experience is amazing. Additionally the staff are very helpful.

The museum is small but well put together. You can climb in a plane and see actual footage of patients being transported. There’s an added bonus of seeing to recreation of the bombing of Darwin.

I’m a travel agent & l’d highly recommend a visit to the RFDS Tourist Facility, on Stokes Wharf, for anyone visiting Darwin. Allow up to 2hrs to experience it properly. My whole family enjoyed it, and all ages would too. There’s lots of fun things to see and do here, to keep young kids both educated and entertained.
Talking about both the history of the RFDS and the WWII bombing of Darwin, this attraction’s advanced technology and imagery is amazing. Enjoy wearing virtual reality (VR) headsets, to learn about the bombing of Darwin, plus the RFDS from both the pilot and patient’s points of view.
Enjoy two short movies about both in the cinema with hologram imagery.
Stand in front of the huge curved LED screen, watching an image of Darwin Harbour as it is now. Wait to hear the air sirens go off, then the peaceful Darwin Harbour scene changes to it being attacked by bombers during WWII, with lots of special effects.
Walk around to read about Darwin’s history on the walls, and hear stories from John Flynn (the RFDS founder), and a Japanese WWII bomber pilot via their projected hologram images.
And climb aboard an actual RFDS aircraft, to get an appreciation for its tight quarters, patient treatment area and the cockpit.
If you are visiting Darwin, the RFDS Tourist Facility is a must-do!

Absolutely amazing, It exceeded my expectations by miles.
The information was vast, and the understanding I've come away with is imesarable. A respect for what our allied health professionals do through the RFFA and the bombing of Darwin.

I loved this exhibit. You can see 2 films using holograms to explain what happened in the bombing of Darwin and the other is how the Royal Flying Doctor Service originated. You can also climb up into one of the RFDS planes and see how they are equipped. It's quite a long walk out to Stokes Hill Wharf but definitely worth it. So interesting!

Overall good experience. The virtual reality headsets for both the flying Dr service and the bombing of Darwin were the standout. It is a long walk but they have a shuttle bus that goes to the end of the jetty but only runs after 11:30 AM. We had a drink on a bar that was on the jetty which was very pleasant.

Thank you for visiting and leaving such a wonderful review. The shuttle bus operates for a lunch service during 11:30am - 2pm and between 4pm - 9pm for a dinner service. Further information can be found https://www.waterfront.nt.gov.au/free-waterfront-shuttle
Sounds like a nice day spent of Stokes Hill Wharf!

Hi. I tried searching this but cant find the info. how do you actually get to your facility? We will be having breakfast at the lime cafe just under the glass lift on the waterfront. Is the wharf walkable from there? We would like to arrive 10am on a sat. Too early for the free shuttle. Thanks.
Rédigé le 21 mai 2021
It’s a very pleasant walk. Probably just 10-15 minutes. We walked the wharf a few times and we were staying a 10 minute walk from town.

Hi, I also have mobility issues. What volunteer did you ask? What rent a car compnay? Thanks so much. We are going in August for 21 days. I am having trouble nailing down destinations because it is so vast. Any info would help. We will spend at least a week at GBR.
Thank you

The site is generally accessible. How much you will get from the experience may depend upon your disability, but if it is not a cognitive issue then you will enjoy yourself. We walked there. Took 20 minutes from town. There are shuttles, Uber or taxis.

How long would you recommend spending at this location to see it properly?
Rédigé le 31 janvier 2019
Hi Alana
We recommend 2 hours, your ticket is valid all day and we offer a pass out option so you can enjoy lunch on the wharf before returning to the air-conditioning to enjoy our stories told through the wonders of technology
