Visit Us

Visit the Australian Opal Centre’s Lightning Ridge showroom to see highlights of our collection, find out about the new AOC, become a member, buy SPARK tickets, ask about our Fossil Dig and other programs, and provide your support by shopping with us or making a donation!

There’s so much to see at the Australian Opal Centre’s little showroom! Experience rare fossils made of opal from the Age of Dinosaurs, discover opal and unique outback communities, and learn about the world of opal mining.

You can witness the beginnings of a remarkable museum we are building on the historic Three Mile opal field just up the road, enjoy our intriguing gift shop filled with unique and beautiful items and souvernirs, and meet a dinosaur from long-ago Lightning Ridge!

Have your photo taken with Russ, our resident Muttaburrasaurus, who has ducked through the window to say hello. Don’t worry, Russ is a herbivore…he only eats our garden!

Regular opening hours (March - November) are 9am - 5pm Monday to Saturday.

Summer opening hours (December - February) are 9am - 1pm Monday to Saturday.

We look forward to seeing you.
