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
- The_ChappellsWellington, New Zealand158 contributionsGreat place to visit to view the history of movies and media. Allow at least an hour to walk through and I like that there are lots of interactive exhibits so you can have a play. The ACMI lens is a fantastic initiative. Very family friendly. Lots of kids around having a go at lots of things, there is so much to see.Written 19 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tammyBaltimore_MdBaltimore, MD4,218 contributionsFYI if you plan on playing any slots bring your passport unless your local to get rewards card. Major pain but only way to play at this casino
Definitely one of the largest casinos I've ever been in even in the USA
Tons of table games too on both levelsWritten 27 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The race is run over 2 miles. Horses come from all over the world to compete. In 2023, Without a Fight, with jockey Mark Zahra aboard, won handily. To win, a horse must be bred to stay. The Flemington Racecourse is a true test of stamina.Written 7 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pyper G1 contributionReally suggest going with friends and family. The quality was great. It was my first time and actually planning to go again.Written 18 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Riverina MumCulcairn, Australia21 contributionsWe all had fun but it all adds up to a pricey activity but the smiles, laughter and fun somehow make it all worthwhile. And the kids definitely like to go back.
From citylink to get there, to $16carparking across the road, tickets (online is $1 cheaper, we brought our own skates but they are $5 to hire/pair,$4 locker hire/3hrs, $4 spectator fee (free cuppa voucher)
Cafe is reasonable. $3toastie, $4cuppa, $5fries. We also brought our own food and drinks, there are lots of seats around the rink.
Annual memberships are on offer to bring down ticketing price (details online).
Parent with <8yo child can have a heavily discounted tickets for them both on weekend mornings with a special fun program to increase confidence on ice.very handy.
Inside the building is COLD. Warm clothing for spectators will make it comfortable for them. Layered clothing for skaters will be handy.
You're allowed to step outside for an hour to have a break, just need your ticket timed and signed.
$15/pair to resharpen blades at the shop. They have discount cards for repeat customers and as I had 3 pairs sharpened that day, they gave me a discount on the spot and I only paid $37. A nice surprise.Written 21 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's an adventurous sort of playground, located near the new Royal Children's Hospital. It's fun for kids, who have many different activities to pursue.,Written 12 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Savannah Arias1 contributionI went with my friends and family. This place is great for any ages from ages 4 all the way up to 70 it is eco-friendly, and all the kids love this place. It is an awesome place for tourists to visit. I highly recommend this playground to visit. I go here every year it is so good to see all the children laugher and having a great time. Epic place to go with your friends you can have picnics there, sit near the water and it always an ice cream van at the entry it is cheap and delicious. They have a wide variety of different play equipment. Usually playgrounds are just for little kids but this playground is very different. Like i said before I HIGHLY recommend this place as a stay, a day trip but it would take you at least 3 hours to go on everything. Great place this is why I rate it 5 stars I would rate it more if I could because of how safe and great this place is.Written 8 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,657 contributionsRoyal Park is a large inner park on the outskirts of the City of Melbourne. In fact, it's the most expansive park in the City. The park has a wide range of sporting facilities, and an up-to-date playground for children. The Royal Park Golf Course is a breeding place for champions, and it's only 3 km (2 miles) from the City. He best place to access the park is through Gatehouse St.Written 14 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They weren’t able to Escape the room , but certainly did leave with a memorable experience and loads of fun.

When the heat turns up, you're truly immersed in the story and it'll leave your heart beating fast for half an hour after! As a couple, we beat it with 10 seconds remaining.Written 10 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Skeney57Sydney, Australia25,011 contributionsAs the countdown gets closer to the shut down of the Valley we enjoyed another chapter of Cox Plate history. Back in our digs at the Inner Circle and in line with the finishing post even Daryls absence couldn't detract from a great days racing. A ten race program at times can be brutal but most weathered the day & kept up the pace! Sadly the cost continues to rise like a Chinese firecracker, but luckily I got the winner up for only the second time in 19 visits, so next year is safe. The food, staff & beers were all good and our seats are unbeatable. All in all a great day in the members of the MVRC and a fabulous run by Via Sistina & JMc to win by 8 lengths! I can't believe how early JMc got up in the stirrups before the Post!!! Can't wait for the return to the Valley.Written 5 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Paul LHallam, Australia997 contributionsThe Astor Theatre is a lovely old cinema that has been left as untouched as possible in terms of modern renovations. You won't find ridiculously oversized (and overpriced) chairs here to flop yourself into. Instead you'll find a very large old cinema complete with period movie posters and decor.
Apart from general modern films the Astor usually participates in various festivals such as the German or Spanish Film Festival and will often screen old faves on specific dates such as the original black/white King Kong or similar older fimms. Movie marathons and also the occasional event such as a comedian will take place here.
Parking can be a bit of a pain but it's usually OK.Written 8 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Based on other reviews I was afraid it would be a little more dangerous (especially for really little ones), but it was not bad as long as you supervise. My children loved it, so we went multiple times (our lodging was nearby). Not worth a journey from far out, but definitely worth going to if you are nearby. Check their hours though, because it is not open often.Written 23 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
