bradman international cricket hall of fame

AandM_10

This was a return visit for us. The first time we visited, about four years ago, we found that there was more to see than we had time for. Staying in the Southern Highlands again, we agreed to give ourselves at least half a day. In fact we spent a couple of hours in the morning, had lunch, and then a couple more in the afternoon.You don't have to be a cricket tragic to enjoy this museum but it helps if you have some idea of the sport and its history. You will then find a treasure trove that includes not only memorabilia but also lots of film/tv and interactive areas. I loved the short videos showing bowling and batting techniques and the film about the World Series Cricket.The museum is an extension of the old Bradman Museum at the Bradman Oval. It is in a suburban setting on the outskirts of Bowral so you would probably need a car to get there. There is plenty of street parking and a small cafe.

Easily wander around for a couple of hours. The short video on World Series cricket is very interesting, if you were around during that era.

A truly rewarding experience. the museum is a treasure house of the evolution of cricket. so many exhibits of the cricketing legends from all over the world and the stunning photographs are inspiring. I take a bow to Sir. Donald Bradman and this quaint little town that produced him. privileged to watch an inter-town club cricket final and the presentation ceremony at the Bradman Oval.

Have been to bowral a few times. While its is great to see more exhibition a range of sports. Its still the bradman part that is the best. We feel there should be more emphasis on the Bradman. The gift shop is great and the café has a good range and nice coffee. If you are looking for a nice break from the highway its defiantly worth the drive.

This museum is superbly curated, with a broad range of exhibits of interest to all sorts of people, whether or not they be cricket enthusiasts. Whilst there are some spelling and literal errors on the text boards, even though annoying, they do not really detract from the overall presentation. Allow at least 1.5 hours.

If you're in to cricket then this is the spot for you! If you're not then there is a great little cafe and a playground to escape the cricket memorabilia. The kids section inside theMuseum could be heaps better but my son still enjoyed the interactive touch screen displays

This is a nice, clean, bright cafe that does good food and drinks at a reasonable price. The problem I have found (I have been there several times) is that they think they are much better than they are. Possibly it is the "Bradman" part of the name. Pity, they could be so much better.

Well worth a visit for any cricket lover. You could spend all day going through all the exhibits and memorabilia. Covers all forms of the game and is probably the worlds premier cricket museum

Museum is fabulous. Any one interested in cricket has to see this! Beautifully set out and fascinating history of the game.

Great history on the sport. A must see if you have any interest in cricket. We spent close to 1 and a half hours there and couldve easily spent more.

I had visited previously when it was the Bradman Museum and loved it. This incarnation is still pretty good, especially the Packer exhibit, but there is not enough about the Boy From Bowral anymore. More Bradman, please!

The Bradman International Cricket Hall of Fame is well worth a visit for any cricket lover - casual or devotee alike! The Hall of Fame pays tribute to legends of the game of cricket both past and present, and it is a wonderful addition to the Bradman Museum. Highly recommended.

Having visited Lords in London this year we were very interested in visiting. We were not disappointed. All the interactive displays worked & were very intersting. I most enjoyed the short film on the history of World Series cricket. My husband spent nearly all day here & he's not a real cricket fan. You can come & go from the museum with a day passout, which was very handy for having lunch in one of the great cafes in Bowral.

Lovely to wonder around and reflect on the history of cricket in Australia & remember this awesome Australian sporting legend. Kids loved bowling a coin in to the charity pond. Highly recommend the cafe, home made scones with real cream ..... Absolutely amazing !!

Not a cricket fan but after having visited the Bradman Museum can now say that I have basic understanding of the game as well as some knowledge of the history of the sport.
