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.

    At the top of the deck, you can get a great view of the city. Stay for sunset and get a magnificant view.

    Purchased a gift card for my 10 year old son and we attended on the weekend. Fantastic facilities and extremely professional staff who made my son feel extremely special. He absolutely loved the experience and cant wait to return. For anyone wanting to experience the thrill of flying an airliner, I could not recommend enough. Thanks to the team

    We 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.

    Absolutely fantastic! The puzzles were not as easy as other venues can be and the effort in decorating and utilizing the entire space was brilliant!

    I went to complete the Deep Space: Divinity story with the family for a birthday. The room was beautiful and immersive with really cool sets, lighting, and sound design, our 'AI companion' who helped us, Enkidu, was super sweet and helpful, and the puzzles were super cool and fun to complete. We though they balanced urgency and there being enough time to complete tasks perfectly as well, which was really important as we were completely new to any sort of escape room.

    We're definitely hoping to come back, although we can't decide if we want to do the next Deep Space adventure or The Crumbling Prince, as we were shown that room as well and it looks so gorgeous!

    Challenging, but fun. Great way to spend an afternoon extending the old grey matter. Will definitely do another one when in town again.

    Two sides to every story; it's very expensive if you want to be sure of a seat. a package bought early is the only guarantee of a seat and you won't know then if your team will be playing.
    If you follow Jet78948 advice, you will not be sure of success in the allocation and that only happens if your team is in the final.
    For football tragics, this is the day of the year and you just pay what it takes and make the most of the day.
    This will include the breakfast at the Crown (which is barely adequate) and perhaps the after-game parties.
    Even though you may have heard Up There Cazaly countless times, it still sounds special.
    It was hard to hear the entertainment this year, could barely hear John Williamson and Paul Kelly was the only one with impact.
    And even though the game was one-sided, there is still a thrill being part of 100,000 spectators watching 2 gladiatorial teams.
    You can pick the day apart for any reason but it is still the one day of the year, not to be missed by tragics.

    The technology is not quite on the level of "The Matrix" or "Ready Player One", but we still had fun.
    The game we played very much reminded Portal 2 co-op, but played in VR.

    What a trip! Exceeded my expectations. Such a well organised event. Would definitely recommend a balloon trip. We are so glad we did the flight as it’s something we will never forget.

    We did the Gaol Break room, we were a little nervous as had only done escape rooms as part of a bigger group (was just 2 of us). Without spoiling the room i felt like it worked perfectly and the staff flashed up a hint on a screen when we got stuck.
    Room had some clever puzzles, and staff were excellent. Will be back on our next trip to Melbourne to try another room.

    This was my first time doing in-door rock climbing. I booked this as a date for me & my partner while we was on holidays in Melbourne. It was so much fun! It was harder than it looks but enjoyable. Highly recommend!

    We ended up with my nephew with us after our babysitter fell through and they were more than happy to accomodate and let him come in with us. He absolutely loved it and our game master made him feel so important and part of our team. We really enjoyed it and this is the best place we’ve been for an escape room.
