Tamworth is the Country Music Capital of Australia. Therefore it is no surprise that many of the local attractions cash in on the name. The Australian Country Music Hall of Fame is no different, however for the small price of $6.00 (adult admission as of April 2013), you get to delve into the early history of country music in Australia. Admittedly, it is only small in size, with the staff bemoaning the fact that they have only enough space to display barely a third of their collection at any one time. As a bonus, the displays are regularly rotated and thus multiple visits over time could be advantageous. I would allow about 1/2 an hour for the museum section, as well as the same amount of time again should you wish to view the video playing in the theatre room. On top of this, the gentleman (I'm sorry I didn't catch his name) was obviously a great lover of the music genre and Tamworth, and was an amazing source of local history and attractions. Not to be missed.
Suited only to die-hard music fans. A lot of stuff here should be free though. hot inside no fans so didnt stay long because of th comfort level.
For what is on offer inside to view, this attraction should be free of charge as there is just one room with very little of interest on show, just a 5 minute wander, just another tourist rip off.
First of all this is the hands of fame park, not the Australian Country Music Hall of fame. Nothing much to see here, unless you are a die hard fan of country music. You can stand there and close your eyes and relive the moments where your favourite singer singing on stage.
Unfortunately this attraction has now been closed. The hall in which it was housed is currently up for lease.There seems to be some indication that it will re-open in anew venue but there is no sign of that at the moment.There are plenty of other attractions in Tamworth like the Bi-centennial park and the Hands of Fame monument which is pictured as part of this attraction?
It was great to see artists whose music I have enjoyed for decades, represented here with their hand prints cast in concrete. From Mike McClellan to Tommy & Phil Emmanuel, Troy Cassar-Daley, Carter & Carter and my personal favourite Keith Urban. This is hands of fame park, not Australian Country Music Hall of Fame.
Very little to mention because there is very little to see. No photographs allowed and an entrance fee of $7. I was utterly disappointed by the lack of memorabilia. A video plays in another room and I got to sing a long to a song.
Loved this place you can not visit Tamworth without visitibg this place. This is what Tamworth is really about,
I loved this place it was very educational so I learnt a lot from this place but the only thing I had a problem with was that there wasn't much for kids to do but I will definitely be back
Staffed by rude volunteers. The displays are old and you just want to get out of there. You cant take photos and when I was there I didn't learn much about Country music.
