From the mansion to the zoo, to Werribee South and K Road Cliffs, Wyndham isn’t short of tourist attractions and unsurprisingly, isn’t short of tourists either.
Approximately 1.5 million tourists visit Wyndham annually, injecting more than half a billion dollars into the local economy.
But to ensure those visitors are as well informed as possible and get the most out of their visit, Wyndham council is encouraging them to stop by the municipality’s Visitor Information Centre.
Conveniently located in the Werribee Park Precinct close to a number of the region’s top attractions, the Wyndham’s Visitor Information Centre assisted approximately 20, 000 visitors in 2023, up from 14,000 in 2022.
But while an increase of 6000 interactions per year is positive, it still represents only a fraction of the tourists coming to Wyndham overall.
It’s a discrepancy Wyndham councillor Heather Marcus wants to change.
“If you have friends and family visiting the Visitor Information Centre is a great place to find inspiration,” said Cr Marcus.
“Whether it’s a day trip, staycation or a longer stay, there is so much to see, do and experience. Our friendly customer visitor centre staff are available to answer questions, provide advice and offer suggestions to make your visit to Werribee and surrounds unique and memorable. ”
Visitors to the visitor centre can find out about local events and businesses, as well as answers to questions such as how many roses are in the Victoria State Rose Garden at Werribee Mansion?
Kids fresh from a visit to the Werribee Open Range Zoo can also stop for a pat and photo with the centre’s large stuffed giraffe, Nikki.
Wyndham’s Visitor Information Centre is open daily from 9am to 5pm.
