Having been on our "to do" list for a while, we finally got to tick it off! We spent well over an hour at the Fort including doing the "Tunnels Tour". Entry to the Fort and Museum is free, but the only way to see the "tunnels" is to do the tour, which at $12 an adult, is so worth... More

The history of the fort is really interesting and well worth the visit. The staff are helpful and happy to talk to you about the place, and the views from up top are brilliant.

Must see. great views. A lot of history to see. Tour of the tunnel system is great the guides are very knowledgeable. Go see and enjoy the history.

we went to a free open day at the fort and experienced a fab day out with the kids they all loved it and they shot the cannons great

Well worth a look if you like history, tour guides are very helpfull, free to get in, tour of the tunnels for a small fee but well worth it

I love Fort Scratchley and remember visiting as a child. Fortunately, my fond childhood memories were not ruined by the tour we received! You can wander around the outside as much as you like, and then pay for a tour underground. The tour guide was so friendly, humorous and knowledgable! It really excited my passion for local history.

I took my niece to Fort Scratchley to learn about some of Newcastle's history and to check out the views. The views are fabulous however I recommend you take an underground tour with one of the volunteers to get the most out of this historic site.. Our tour guide was Norm and he had some fabulous facts and fasinating stories... More

You'll be surprised at how much you will learn about WWII and how far south the submarines, planes and ships of our enemies made it. Fort Scratchley is one of the few sights at which the cannons were fired!! So do yourself (and the kids) a favour and go check it out... It's clean, well-maintained and informative.

come and have a look at Newcastle's historic Fort Scratchley, you won't be disappointed, hear the guns go off. it's easy walking
