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
- Dave W1 contributionDecided to enjoy this garden solo. I'm sure a tour would provide lots of cool information, but I wanted to relax and immerse myself in the nature at my own pace.Written 8 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- R R KBengaluru, India150 contributionsTram 35 , the free city circle tram is a wonderful way to cover a lot of CBD and around. You can hop on and off any time. The tram is old to give the taste of history of trams in Melbourne. Although all tram services are having a Free Tram Zone around CBD, this is a fully free route. Catch it near Flinders street if you like.Written 27 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- cjkranzWashington DC, DC1,204 contributionsIf you're in Melbourne, going to the Queen Victoria Market is essential. The market is expansive and is really emblematic of the city itself having various local vendors selling a myriad of products.

- Stephen MMelbourne, Australia6 contributionsThe National Gallery is an absolute treasure in Melbourne and a must-visit for art lovers. The collection is vast and diverse, featuring works from renowned international artists as well as stunning pieces from Australian creators. The architectural design of the building itself is captivating, with the iconic water wall at the entrance setting the tone for the experience inside.Written 8 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- R R KBengaluru, India150 contributionsWe were here for the 4th Day Test Match between Australia & India finals from Gate 3. This was my first visit to a cricket stadium after seeing Munich olympic stadium 40 years ago. Very impressive with very large seating capacity. That day, it was almost 47000 visitors packed. Enormous number of food and drink shops. Free health check points everywhere. Excellent connectivity by public transport by metro or trams. Nearest Metro being Richmond station. With Rod Laver Arena next door where Australian Open tournament due, very exciting cricket, day was well spent.Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Caroline AKaukapakapa, New Zealand8 contributionsIt's a beautiful zoo, a great layout and is easy to navigate. It was HOT!! I appreciated the cool-down water misters! I suggest, if its going to be hot, go early and get out by midday, animals not interested in being out and about in it either.Written 17 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shaun JFort Collins, CO266 contributionsThis is a must see for any fan of history; casual or serious. The building & the grounds are remarkable, and then you walk into galleries full of stories about Australia’s military experiences. I was pleasantly surprised by my visit. This is truly a world class museum & was the highlight of my stay in Melbourne.Written 13 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chander_62Cardiff, UK428 contributionsA fascinating museum showcasing an extensive collection of fossils, crystal formations, and other geological wonders. It offers a wealth of history alongside interactive, hands-on exhibits that are perfect for children. The museum features a couple of dining options with plenty of seating, making it easy to take breaks. With its vast displays and engaging activities, it’s a place where you could easily spend an entire day exploring.Written 14 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ChefCliveMLondon, UK2,458 contributionsWe visited St Patrick’s, as we have done on previous trips to Melbourne, to hear Mass for our belated friend Luca Fusi. I telephone and spoke to Father Michael and explained that it was at St Patrick’s that Luca heard Mass just before he died back in London. Father Michael was sympathetic and very understanding and indeed, Luca's name was read out. It was a very moving service, a sung mass, and will stay in our hearts forever. Thank you to Father Michael and the whole ministerial team for your love and understanding.Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
