Umoona Opal Mine & Museum

Very informative and fun. Highly recommend a visit if you’re passing by. Opal available for purchase is fairly priced and high quality. You can walk to the top of the building which has a beautiful view perfect to catch a sunset.

It was a great informational experience. The underground living was facinating.

Great place to visit. The 20 min film was worth it. Pay to go underground to see the old dugout and the modern dugout. Also you get to go into a mine. Great staff.

The short film was very informative, and our tour guide was really great! He managed to remember so much information and delivered it in a way that kept both the kids and adults entertained! (Even when our toddler cracked a wobbly half way through!!)

This place is definitely worth a stop over! We did the mine tour at the museum and our guide Maureen she did a wonderful job very informative and fun! 👏

Fascinating! Well worth the tour at 10am. Our tour guide grew up in the unique town of Coober pedy, the daughter of a local miner so she really knew her stuff. Such a unique place and the museum really gives you the feel for it. Plus there's opal jewellery for sale ranging from cheap prices with opal chips, to some super high end stunning jewellery

Nice place to visit, part of the museum are free admission, however ticket purchase is required to access to the opal mine together with a introduction movie with lots of information.

It was a great experience to learn about opal mining and dugout houses. The tour is approximately an hour ,20 mins at the theatre and 40 mins in the mining.

Very cool place to visit. We didnt do the tour itself as done a similar one just before. We visited the museum and shop and that itself was worth it. Very interesting information. And the staff are very friendly and helpful, explained us a lot about the different opal kinds. Thanks lots 😃

Super friendly staff. Worth visiting just for the displays and information about Coober Pedy and opal mining. The guided tour was also interesting.
Finally, if you wanted make a purchase there is a wide range of items from $$$$$ to $

Considering the museum is free, it is extremely well maintained, clean and informative. Displays are not just limited to opals but also provide an insight into the historical geography and makeup of the region. Informative and interesting, this place is well worth a visit if you're visiting Coober Pedy.

We really did enjoy the shopping with Ivy. She did an amazing Job as our Saleswoman. Wifey found three awesome opal jewelleries. We wish Ivy happy travels and don't forget to go to Lucky Bay near Esperance 😁👍

Very good free museum.

We went here during the Oasis tour and found the tour guide Rudi to be extremely informative. Lots of interesting stories! Was cool seeing underground and hearing what it’s like for opal miners. Great display of opals in the store ranging in price from around $15- $62,000! staff were friendly. Coffee & tea available as part of the tour.

This is the most important you must attend when driving to Coober Pedy. Very informative, you will learn the history and origin of the town from the very professional and lovely staffs.

Lovely museum with interesting insights. Definitely worth a visit when passing by on Stuart Hwy

What a fantastic place and area. We were very impressed by the way people actually work and live underground.

The whole area was an experience you'll never forget. If you get the chance to visit the area I'd highly recommend it. The kids and adults will all enjoy.

Don't forget to give this a thumbs up 👍 if you found it helpful.

If you have time to visit only one museum in CP, then this should be it. It's one of the best museums we've visited. Great displays. Free to visit. Reasonably priced jewellery shop. Nice souvenirs. Don't miss the lookout on the terrace.

The tour was awesome, really great value for money. Our tour guide was informative and funny, she shared a lot of insights about life in Coober Pedy and Opal mining.

So interesting the underground working and living in Coober Pedy
