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.

    Such a gorgeously laidback, fun venue on the water. We were lucky to be there for the International Film Festival and on the night we went, saw three short films set in the NT that were all excellent. Live music was included, and Sri Lankan food and mixed drinks were available for purchase. Producers, directors and film stars gave talks after each movie, and the star of Bear was available for cuddles, which I took full advantage of! The deck chairs aren't the most comfortable things you've ever watched a movie in, but there are other seating options, including bean bags. Can't recommend this enough.

    Awesome set up with confined rooms for smashing and a huge range of objects and equipment to use. Was provided with a quick safety briefing & protective equipment, before getting straight into our two cartons worth of smashing. We purchased a medium/large item to also, which was a huge TV to destroy, they even recycle these items afterwards. Had a great chat with the owner, who even threw in an extra cartoon of glass bottles for smashing & some vouchers for lunch. Would definitely recommend for a good laugh or to get some anger out!

    No wonder I couldn’t find this place on TripAdvisor. It’s being referred to as an Aquatic Centre.

    This pool has been a family favourite on our trips to Darwin and I have fond memories learning to swim here and less fond memories of school swimming carnivals.

    Overlooking the cliffs at Nightcliff with views out to sea and to the distant Casuarina Beach. The sea breezes on hot afternoons and the shaded seating areas make this a great place to visit, relax and cool down.

    The building and facilities are basic, largely unchanged since the 1970s (I was there), but it’s enough. Change rooms with showers and toilets and a small kiosk for drinks and snacks but not a lot else. Come prepared.

    The adult entry fee is $4, which I think is great value.

    There’s a little pool for the babies and toddlers with a central fountain feature too. The pool team do run classes and some lanes can be hired and closed off. There’s usually at least one area left fully open. Call ahead if you have any concerns.

    Our son was super excited to have his 8th birthday party at Zone 3 and it sure didn’t disappoint. The kids all had a blast and in between games they loved playing on the arcade games. The staff were excellent to deal with and couldn’t do enough to help out. Best of all is that at the end you can just go home as staff helped clean away all the mess. Extremely reasonable priced and you won’t be disappointed. We will definitely be back.

    Nice simple but fun putt putt layout that is suitable for all ages. It is priced pretty well too. Golf range facilities looked good too.

    Worth a visit.

    A good place for kids but the bowling balls are in terrible shape and need immediate replacement. Very few available too. The pool tables are a mess. Low quality to begin with but covered in rips. Again old, tired balls. A tiny selection of cues all of which are old and mostly damaged. They have a good selection of arcade games and prices are reasonable.

    Sadly, these are Darwin's only squash courts. In saying that, they're not too busy, are reasonably priced and have excellent facilities. Staff are OK.

    Cinema is a welcome haven walking in from the heat. Quick service, comfy seats if only a little dated and in need of a clean.

    Great location, really good service and an enjoyable course. lots of water hazards and ditches that make the course challenging.

    We booked seats in the Ted Bailey stand for Darwin Cup Day. Tickets were over $500 for a 3 course meal, drinks not included. We were happy to pay this to be inside in air conditioning. What we didn’t expect was a table in an area that ended up being like a public bar. We had a wristband but anyone and everyone came in to stand in the cooling, making the area crowded and hot. I was sitting on the end of our table and got quite a number of drinks down my back as people walked by. The bar had one person serving and was at times four people deep for the length of the bar. No table service for drinks so each time we had a minimum 30 minute wait at the bar. People were soon buying multiple drinks to save going back but it didn’t help the queue. The food was just nice. Wasn’t great to see waiters weaving through crowds with food , not very hygienic. Tables behind us had problems with outsiders coming in and standing in front of their table to watch the race, at least we could see the track. Overall a lot needs to be changed to make this lunch worth the money before I would consider going again. If you are considering this as an option , don’t waste your money.
