The zoo and jail are 'must sees' and worth the trip, the parks are great especially the botanic gardens and along the river . Cute Garden centre . lots of new housing and industrial developments . Coffee & Brekky at Press and dinner at the Old Bank .

As a family we were in Dubbo for the attractions. We purchased a Big Pass, which got us into the Zoo for 2 days, RFDS Experience, Old Dubbo Gaol and Wellington Caves. It was good value for money and all of the experiences were excellent to do as a family. We particularly loved the zoo and caves (even booking a second tour at the caves to see the Gaden one as well as Cathedral). We ate at Royal Indian on our first night, which was excellent dining and reasonably priced. During our stay we also ate at Burger Urge and a mexican restaurant - both of which were good but a bit more 'takeoutish'. The main street had plenty of shopping experiences for the kids, with our daughter loving the local games D&D store. We also were there over New Years, and attended the fireworks on the oval for a small $2 per person charge - very reasonable. This was good family fun with plenty of food van options. Our kids really enjoyed the Dubbo Pool and water slides (extra cost and a bit pricey for a family at $10 pp for 30 minutes) and went there on a few days to enjoy the splashpark and cool off in the pool. Altogether we had a really lovely family experience and would recommend it for a 1 week visit for any family.

Dubbo is a hub for public transport and the trains and coaches connect well. Taronga Zoo is excellent, and staying overnight is a treat as there are extra tours only available for those who stay. The art gallery and museum are excellent and the main garden is gorgeous. The Exhibition/Theatre complex program has a great lineup for 2024 - I marked what I was going to book for until I remembered that I didn't live in Dubbo!

Plenty of things to discover, surrounding towns provided great day trips. Tourist attractions were fantastic, but even discovering the local pubs, shops and eateries were great! The Shire Bar and Grill and Pizza Monster are musts to revisit on our next trip.

The town centre was pretty and lots of shopping and food options. The river is beautiful and the walking track along it was delightful. Really enjoyed the Old Gaol and Westernplain Zoo was fantastic (would recommend the Safari tour). Stayed in the local caravan park and the downside to this was that our cabin was right on the highway which meant intrusive traffic noise (bring your earplugs!). The upside was it was economical and the staff and facilities was excellent - even spotted a Superb Fairy Wren which was wonderful. There was also a great hamburger joint nearby which had lots of options. Overall a nice place to visit.

We liked Dubbo - nice place, with friendly people. We were surprised by how big it was and the large range of shops, including Coles and Woolies. Plenty of restaurants and places to have a drink. We were only there a couple of days to go to the zoo - but we'd certainly go to Dubbo again.
