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
- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,836 contributionsThe Old Melbourne Gaol is sinister, but it is quite fascinating. It was Melbourne's principal gaol for many years, when the prisoners were locked up in tiny cells. Many prisoners were hanged there, including Australia's most famous bushranger, Ned Kelly. Many of the prisoners were pathetic, they were obviously mentally ill. The Old Melbourne Gaol is one of Melbourne's top tourist attractions, be sure to book in advance.Written 22 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aussie_Tourist79Sydney, Australia605 contributionsWe were sceptical at first and ended up all really enjoying our time. Take your time and have fun with it. It's surprisingly easy to get a good picture with a little practise.
If you have some time then visit the area and enjoy the art and have some fun.Written 14 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is a combination of video, paintings, and interactive art installations that craft an immervise experience.Written 25 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The puzzles were not as easy as other venues can be and the effort in decorating and utilizing the entire space was brilliant!Written 4 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Melana U1 contributionI 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!Written 22 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dreamer540789009641 contributionThis is a not to be missed opportunity. You are immersed in the world of a visually impaired person and get to experience first hand how to navigate your way around the city. A unique perspective shared in the most innovative and enjoyable way, your guide is someone with lived experience of the challenges and takes you on a journey you wont soon forget. Suitable for every age.Written 26 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Skeney57Sydney, Australia21,976 contributionsAfter an ordinary function room last Cox Plate, we returned to our favourite spot. A pretty good buffet meal (with the exception of the frozen prawns) had something for everyone. We had our reserved seats in line with the finish post again and could not fault the racing. Exciting in all respects. I just wish I could punt better!! The crowd was a bit smaller then years gone past but it made for a comfortable visit. The MVRC do a great job but we need Darryl back for the Horses!Written 10 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 420krayzeeNew South Wales, Australia14 contributionsChallenging, but fun. Great way to spend an afternoon extending the old grey matter. Will definitely do another one when in town again.Written 24 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Josh BLafayette, IN442 contributionsWe were staying at the Marriott, so this was super convenient. The magician was very engaging, there were cool illusions, and our whole crew (ages 17-51) had a great time.Written 18 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Danielle O1 contributionWhat 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.Written 5 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew JCobram, Australia5 contributionsWe 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.Written 13 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.Written 10 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
