This was a "must do" item during our time in Alice. The staff in the art gallery were friendly. Loved the exhibitions, and the ticket price enables you to come back multiple times over a number of days, which is necessary as there are lots of things to see! The craft shop also had a small but impressive exhibition, as... More

We arrived about lunch and were disappointed that there was no cafe, but the craft shop made up for it. Lots of local crafts and one of the artists was working in the back and showed us around the workspace. Good shopping opportunity for buying interesting local items to take home - I was especially impressed with the painted silk... More

Can't say that much as most of the shops were closed when we arrived on Saturday afternoon and again when we re-visited on Sunday morning!

We were so looking forward to our visit but this place was completely closed over Christmas and well into the new year. What a disappointment!

The museums are small but very personal and interesting. After watching a movie about excavation of fossils, the scientist highlighted just walked by and the cashier introduced us. There was a Xmas fair going on and the local children were performing. Lovely, personal experience. Aboriginal Art in the Museum was better than what we saw in Sydney. Well worth the... More

We were on a tour with Emu Run which was absolutely excellent, one of the stops was the Alice Springs Cultural Precinct which in itself is wonderful. Unfortunately the only cafe available is at the Cultural Precinct happened to be closed on the day that we were there, as you can imagine 40 degree heat and no where to buy... More

I hopped off here from the hop on hop off day tour (which lasted 2 days) and had an enjoyable walk around seeing a great variety of things, art, plane, hanger,cemetery (very historical) etc. Actually 70mins wasn't enought time to see it all.

This could have been so good but was badly organised with no cafe and the arts and crafts shop closing early. Could do much better.

This precinct is well worth a visit and it has a variety of things people will find interesting. We particularly like the art exhibition that was on at the time. With changing exhibitions this is the type of place that is worth a visit each time you come to the Alice

We spent a few hours here and still saw only a selection of what was on offer. Thoroughly enjoyed the art exhibit and learnt a lot in the museum. The history of the Lutheran mission was inspiring but only made sense after having travelled the area.
