Founded in 1980, The Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition Experience has long been a favourite with visitors to the area and is graded by The Scottish Tourist Board as a 5 Star Visitor Attraction (The Highest Possible Grading). The award winning Exhibition, described by Scottish Narural Heritage as "A portal to the unique natural phenomenon that is Loch
Ness" has seven themed chambers and gives visitors the story from the beginning of the ice age to the present day. Whilst keeping the monster mystery centre stage, the
Exhibition Experience portrays the special things about Loch Ness that you cannot see by looking at it. Lots of actual research equipment including "Maschan", the Worlds
smallest Submarine and "The John Murray" vessel used in the 1990's.
Also on site is by far the largest shopping complex in the area including:

The Whisky Shop
The Nessie Shop (Official Merchandise)
The Cashmere & Woolens Shop
The Kiltmaker
Ancestral Nmes (Research your Family Clan)
The World of Shinty Shop
Local Crafts

There is also large catering facilities within the Drumnadrochit Hotel and Hourly Boat
Cruises in the summer months.
