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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What travellers are saying
- Alison Z4 contributionsThe tour guide is very professional, in addition to introducing the design history of the building as a whole, you can also enter the concert hall and theater hall to visit and feel, very highly recommended to participate in the guided tour!Written 3 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Narelle CWollongong74 contributionsThe high afternoon tea at the queen vic building is an experience - beautiful tea rooms, lovely decor, exceptional service, the pastries, cakes and sandwiches are tasty, good variety and quality. Wonderful range of teas and champagne adds to the experience.Written 8 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DxBrindleKuala Lumpur, Malaysia270 contributionsThe outstanding piece in this year’s visit was an installation by Ken Unsworth. The heavy stones are suspended on wires and float a foot above the ground. This exhibit creates a feeling of calm and tranquility.Written 9 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MsTracy1979Sydney, Australia109 contributionsA friend and I decided to go on impulse after a work lunch. It was her choice and I wasn't sure, although I remembered enjoying the underwater tunnel when I was in high school. It was really good and I'd recommend a visit even if you don't have children with you. It's a deceptively large venue so leave at least an hour but we took about 90min. We ended up spending a fair amount of time around the main tank watching the fish and dugong. It was super relaxing and my Fitbit thanked me for the visit.Written 24 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you’re starving don’t expect anything under 20 mins before you get your food. Otherwise it’s quite good.Written 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Walked through Hyde Park to get to the church.
The garden in front of the church was also beautiful. Inside was huge and there were lots of pews to sit on and say a prayer. We also made a contribution so we could light some candles.
Make sure to visit the church store.Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Busy but interesting; dusty trail to see kangaroos; tiptoed past Tassie Devil (manic 'whooosh'-tornado in cartoon- memory), sleeping koalas; cassowary (related to kiwibird) – very cool. Limited time, perfect, close to everything, pretty special. (I have gait/walking challenges (stroke), wear a legbrace.)Written 24 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aviation CentralSydney, Australia18 contributionsA very good historical site. The tour was very detailed and gave us insights on how the barracks were over 50 years ago. However, most of the rooms were re-done and it took all the fascinating history away. Overall, a very good experience!!Written 2 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LesliekaosChula Vista, CA53 contributionsGreat place to look for cheap souvenirs like t-shirts. Some stores sell the same things so price out the stuff you want.

I'm so glad we did, the theatre is beautiful! We saw Sister Act (which was a fun show) and it had a lot of lights and mirror balls so I didn't see the theatre without the lighting for the show, but I'm certain it's still fabulous.Written 27 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SarinaCologne, Germany43 contributionsGood way to spend a couple of hours! I only visited the free areas, but those definitely filled my day by themselves! There are free Audio guides available with a phone, which I definitely recommend listening to!Written 14 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PipiW4 contributionsOpera Australia - Cosi fan tutte . It is always a special night going to the Opera House with beautiful Harbour views and so many value eating options. The experience is taken to the next level with any Opera Australia performance, but especially the fun of Mozart's greatest operas. 3 hours of intrigue and deception never fully resolved. You won't nod off during this one! Bubbles at Interval? Or there are a number of water stations with disposable cups - a really pleasant options at any theatre that offers it.
Enjoy the ambience and the performance - both top quality.Written 17 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is based in an old tram shed, which has been tastefully added to with modern glass buildings. An eclectic mix of exhibitions, from fashion to steam machinery, airplanes, steam railway and space exploration. The space station mock up is particularly impressive. A great place to visit.Written 12 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LJ AAustralia6 contributionsI will be honest, I was blessed to 'happen upon' The Jewish Museum when I was doing a walk from Circular Quay to Paddington, more than 17 years ago.
Although I wasn't dressed (in my view) to go into a museum, I checked with a lady working there and after her approval I went in. I was so glad I did and I have lost count on the number of times I have been back.
People may think it is only about the war but it isn't. One would be a fool to think that there isn't that in the journey as it was a monumental time in their lives. However, a large part is an informative walk through Judaism, customs, culture, faith, and basic way of life.
Hands down the most informative and well organised storytelling Museum I have gone to. Even though its size would be considered miniature compared to others in Sydney.
I was very blessed on the day I first went the museum wasn't very busy, I managed to corner a curator and just ask the poor young man question after question. I am sure I kept him for near two hours. I haven't seen him since, I hope I didn't traumatised him with my continual questions.🤣
I have selected the date I did because it doesn't allow me to go back and select ALL the months from 17 years ago that I have visited the Museum.
I never went on a Saturday, knowing it would not be open due to it being their Sabbath.Written 28 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Both Graham and Penni are beautiful people, helpful and made it a truly special experience. I ended up choosing Betty the Giraffe to remember my late mum.Written 2 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
