Our guides are well-presented, sociable, have good voice projection, and are able to improvise.

• Guided Tour: Visitors have a personal opal tour guide, a pass to all museum displays, and a viewing of our most valuable specimens. The tour is available once a day at midday. Booking is essential.

We have a jewellery shop, adjacent to the museum. It is the only shop in Brisbane that specialises in opal. The shop showcases an extensive range of opal jewellery and loose unset opals.
