Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    It says the walk to the top is about 30 minutes and for once it is right. It’s quite a strenuous walk up but you can stop and and catch your breath but no seats. But the view at the top is stunning.....and whatever sweat you raise during the walk is ell worth it. It can be cold and windy so take a jacket....and water. Last three kilometres drive in is dirt but well maintained so not an issue. This is one walk that is worth it.

    Three of our grandchildren (13, 13, and 11 years old respectively) have done this and loved it, as did the oldies who watched on. Thoroughly recommended, for young and old alike. Trevor and Steve were obliging and made this such an easy and fun experience.

    Super fun morning celebrating my son’s birthday. Both my son’s (aged 13 and 8) loved both the karts and mini-golf experience. The venue is clean and well maintained. We will definitely return when next in Canberra.

    Absolutely brilliant cathartic and fun. Ophelia was our host and she was a delight- friendly, funny, informative and made us feel safe. She coached and gently and with kindness when it came to the axe throwing and just generally was a joyous host

    Plan to go again asap

    We went paintball ingredients with a group of work colleagues. It was great fun but can become expensive depending on how trigger happy you are. Our group was mashed in with others (groups of 30!) on the day which made some games difficult. The pyramid course is small and not suited to large numbers but we still had fun and won the day.

    The most wonderful morning, taking a flight during the Canberra Balloon Festival.
    From beginning to end, the friendly and professional staff worked hard to ensure we had an amazing experience. Our pilot Dave, made sure we could relax and enjoy the flight with his calm competent manner and skill. Would recommend this trip to anyone

    Stomlo has first rate downhill trails. We often use the Shuttle bus to get to the top -- it's a great service!

    My son has taken riding lessons with Dynmanic motivation. They are a great crew, he loves it and looks forward to every weekend. He also goes to some of the holiday programs and enjoyed those too.

    So much fun. Cover way more ground that walking and you dont get tired. If going in winter you must have gloves, scarf and coat. Easy to learn as I'd never been on a segway before.

    My housemate got me a SUP class as gift and I had such a fun time! Matt was a great instructor, and explained things very clearly. It was actually a lot easier than I expected and we had a wonderful relaxed paddle on the lake, and the weather was perfect. Can't wait to try it again!!! Thanks Matt! 😄
