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.

What travellers are saying
- japed0001Perth, Australia152 contributionsWas the wet season and 2 of the restaurants are closed . However the weather is still balmy , warm and nice . Casino is very quiet . Perfect getaway if you want the place to yourself .Written 17 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jenni SBrunswick, Australia10 contributionsI really like the Darwin Deck chair cinema. They screen a good variety of films and the set up and layout is great. Grab a cushion and reserve your spot and help yourself to the food buffet.Written 8 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rupertCanberra, Australia6 contributionsNo 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.Written 24 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DMandTMPerth, Australia142 contributionsNice 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.Written 28 August 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The area looks so much better than my first visit when I worked behind the bar at the Darwin Cup in 1987.Written 12 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cronessaAdelaide, Australia5 contributionsWhat a fantastic experience and asset for Darwin. We had a fantastic time solving the haunted circus room which was age appropriate for our 10 and 13 year old. Staff were very friendly and professional. We can't wait to go back and try the other rooms.Written 17 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mellissa D1 contributionOur 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.Written 20 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- B3NJ1Queensland, Australia190 contributionsSadly, 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.Written 15 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
