We had an awesome morning at the Tassie Zoo. We went all out and booked a Meerkat experience as well. The Zoo has a great variety of animals, they were very close and easy to see, easy to follow the map and our son loved the 2 young dingoes. You can hand feed the kangaroos & wallabies in one section and then the farm animals further along. The only animal not on show during our visit were the capybaras. We also enjoyed the gift shop and picked up a few Knick knacks for ur family and friends.

We had a great time and did many of the wildlife experiences which were the highlight. A truly unique and memorable experience for us. The zoo has so many different animals and there is something for everyone. The staff and keepers were so friendly and really made it a special experience. It was so good to see how well the animals are looked after and how nice and spacious their enclosures were. We will be back next time we are in Tasmania!

What a magnificent gem to visit . Beautifully nestled in a quiet spot . The animals have decent and natural enclosures, decent size too . I was treated to have the close encounter with the red panda. Absolutely magical(still smiling ) .. The Zoo team, are wonderful, polite and legitimately caring for the animals. This place feels more like a sanctuary than a zoo.. Serene, green and beautiful. I love the greenery and a wonderful variety of trees and plants too. Mandy was absolutely gorgeous, caring, passionate and warm.. Cannot wait to go back..

Tasmania Zoo is my favorite zoo in Tasmania!!! Definitely won’t miss the devils and wombats encounter here!! Especially the ticket price is lovely ☺️ The animals were kept very well here ( all look healthy and well ). The staffs were kind and friendly. There’s plenty of species of animals to see. A good place to enjoy an half/all day with friends and family here✨

We all really enjoyed Tasmania Zoo. The enclosures are great for the animals. A few were elusive (the Wolf, Lion and Snow Leopard) but there was still so much ro see we didnt mind. Also, we really enjoyed the Jurassic swamp!

The zoo has a lot of animals, some native and a lot of exotic animals, especially monkeys. The enclosures are not fancy but they do the job and you can see most of the animals quite well. The zoo did not accept our student cards as there was no expiration date on it even though we were able to show our official enrollment letters with dates of enrollment, which was a bit disappointing.

The Tasmania Zoo is absolutely beautiful and the perfect location to walk around on a beautiful winters day. All of the animals seemed so happy and well cared for, I really just wanted to cuddle the red panda, it was so cute and fluffy! Would definitely recommend the zoo to any and all age groups.

Located in Tamar Valley, this winery has beautiful view/lookout deck and relaxing chairs to basque in the sun and drink some wine with a view. We had a wine tasting and had a great time, staff were amazingly friendly and knew what to pair each wines with retrospective dishes. Did not have a platter but the couples next to us seemed to enjoy it! A quick trip from Launceston, this winery is well worth the visit.

Located in Tamar Valley, this winery has beautiful view. We already stayed for 3 nights, before left we had a wine tasting and had a great time, the staff very friendly.

My husband and I visited on Thursday, could not recommend high enough. Michael was fantastic with our wine tastings, you can tell he is so passionate and genuinely cares about what he does, was so nice to have him guide us through the wines. Stunning view and yummy cheese box.

The wine's amazing, the staff's friendly, and the view's awesome, plus it's super chill and relaxing.

Tamar Ridge Cellar Door offers a wonderful wine-tasting experience with beautiful views overlooking the Tamar River. The setting is elegant yet relaxed, creating a perfect atmosphere to enjoy their selection of cool-climate wines. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the region’s winemaking, making the tasting both enjoyable and informative. Their Pinot Noir stands out as a highlight, showcasing the best of Tasmanian wine. The venue also features a stylish tasting room and outdoor seating where you can take in the scenery. Overall, it’s an excellent destination for wine lovers visiting the Tamar Valley.

Nice winery on a hill overlooking the Tamar river. They have a few different tasting options. We chose the bar tasting, which didn’t include any of their high priced wines. I really enjoyed their sparkling wines and ended up buying one after the tasting. The employee gave us a discount since we did a wine tasting, which was really nice!

Very nice wine tasting, reasonable prices.

Best fish farm with beautiful 5 minute walk to amazing waterfall. Ziggy was a great host very knowledgeable about freshwater fish and beer. Loved the 41 degree platter and coffee. Thank you Ziggy For your years of hard work. Patrick and Dianne

Have come back a few times now, staff were super friendly and very helpful when it came to their Salmon and how to pair and taste it. We purchased the $5 tasting paddle which came with a couple of their Salts, Salmon and Sauce. Their Hot Smoked Salmon is to die for! I come back each year for a little trip to treat myself. You can also walk their farm and feed the Salmon at a couple designated spots- As well as view Montana Falls! Thankyou to everything at 41° South!

Beautiful few hours spent here today. Delicious platter with fresh salmon, salmon pate, cheeses, crackers, bread, fruit, salad and more. Fed the salmon. Walked down to waterfall and around the grounds. Family run business and they were so welcoming and lovely. Ziggy made our day extra special. Thank you!

Popped on a very wet and rainy day, were offered half price tour but decided to try taste platter only. Delicious salmon and seasonings.

We got the 41 South Platter and it was plenty for 2 people. We’d never had salmon rillettes before but it was super tasty! Also really loved the one island sauce and I’m still thinking about the ginseng spice mix 🤤

Omg yes, you need to come here and check this place out. Feels like Europe and the samples were amazing. Staff members were really friendly. Also check out the world map where people come from.. so glad I've stopped here

I'm a solo traveller without a license, so I walked from the Deloraine Empire Hotel to the cafe 22 km (2 ways). I love the scenery throughout the walk. The cafe is awesome! After a long walk, I get to saviour cured salmon with 3 different dips and cheese platter with long black coffee. I was very content when I was enjoying the moment. The cafe reared the salmon, and they also have a ginseng farm. There is a garden and trail walk next to the cafe. The cafe is open every day and closes at 4 pm. After my meal, I walked a bit around the garden. I also had strawberry sorbet and bought a bottle of ginseng honey. That was the highlight of my stay in Deloraine.

A great look at the Beaconsfield mine but also a step back into the past, great for kids or adults who are interested in the mines / the great rescue. There’s a playground across the road and a pub nearby too.

A must visit! Brilliant museum. The staff were lovely. There were so many things for the children to interact with plus they received a sticker and precious stones at the end of our visit. They were very excited. The museum is very informative and well curated. Couldn’t recommend it more.

An easy 5 Stars, one of the best museums I’ve been too and is well worth the $22 entry fee. Friendly staff who gave a run down of the map and what to see. So much hands on stuff, old engines and another Tangyes from Birmingham. Of course the main course was the Rescue room with good detail of how the 2 lads were saved and how many people risked their own lives to make it happen. A great display. Also learned about how the whole place nearly went down a collapsing shaft in 2016. Wow! So much to see and do, you’ve just got to do it!

Very poignant and sensitively presented exhibits showcasing yesteryear and the Mine disaster chronicling the events that happened which affected the entire community at the time. Well worth visiting this place as part of Tasmanian historical interest

Wow! What a lot of history! Great place to spend a few hours looking at all the sites. I love how this place is not all under one roof. Its interesting, interactive, and very well presented. Lovely staff too. Would definitely recommend, especially if you remember watching the news when the miners were trapped back in 2006

Awesome doesn't describe just how great this place is. It's a beautiful mix of new, old, hope, and interactivity. The interactiveness is second to none. You can ring the bell for the shaft, take a photo from the same angle as the world famous photo of the boys coming put, and you can actually stand in the lift. It's just a really awesome place and a must do for anyone who remembers the disaster and ensuring rescue.

Omg, this place just blew our minds away. Remembering back to the day when the collapse happened and then learning about it more and more was an experience that was well worth it. The staff were very informative and helped in every way they could. I'm not a museum type of person but found this to be one of the best experiences I have done.

Had a fantastic time at Platypus House in Beauty Point! The guided tour was both fun and educational, our guide Maddy had shared so much interesting information. It was incredible to see platypuses swimming and feeding up close, and the echidnas were such a highlight, wandering right around our feet. A unique and memorable experience, well worth the visit.

We joined the 2 PM tour today, and the lady who guided us for about 45 minutes was amazing! She had excellent knowledge of everything she was explaining, even though she looked quite young. Her enthusiasm and nonstop explanations throughout the session were truly impressive — she really deserves 5 stars for her effort and passion! It was also great to see how well the facility is maintained, making the whole experience very pleasant and comfortable for visitors.

Great experience, very knowledgeable staff. we have been here several times and it’s always been a great experience. The first time we came here there was a member of the National Geographic team their photographing the platypus.

Falling in love with platypus and echidna deeply after visiting Platypus House OMGGGG!!!! It’s enjoyable to watch the naughty platypus show( eating, swimming and scratching ). We’re so lucky to see the shy female platypus in the case✨ I especially loved the echidna walking around us while they were trying to find the food. Super cute 🥰 It’s so good to have such a place to encounter them 🥰🥰

Great conservation work by this team. Very friendly staff. Loved the tour and seeing the platypus and echidnas. Great value for money.

We absolutely loved our visit to Platypus World! Our guide, Ella, was fantastic.....so thorough and incredibly knowledgeable in her field. We learned so many amazing facts, and she was happy to answer every question we had (and always had the answers!). Ella you can see is very passionate about the animals, the place has such a friendly atmosphere. The echidnas were our absolute favourite they are so funny, full of personality, and always hungry! 🦔 We couldn’t stop smiling watching them. They really ate cute. Thank you so much, Ella, for making this such an amazing and memorable tour. Highly recommend to anyone visiting!

Excellent. Very informative walk through the world of the Platypus and the Echidnas. Very thorough staff.

Loved the seahorses but the tour was so rushed. You couldn't stand there and check out all the individual displays or age stages tanks because every single time you were trying to look at them you were told that we needed to move on to the next room now. It was only my son and I and another couple on the tour. So really - pushing us through so fast was entirely unnecessary. The seahorses themselves are actually extremely incredible and mesmerising. Beautiful creatures. Just a shame we were on the clock.

Great place to take the kids on a rainy day in Tasmania. Plenty for them to see and do. A knowledgeable guide and interesting information on seahorses and handfish. Well worth a visit.

This team does great work in conservation. Great facility and really enjoyed the tour. Happy to support this org. Great value for money and very friendly staff.

How very cool!! Amazing work being done here. These little darlings are exported around the world! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Great gift shop too

The guided tour was informative and fascinating — amazing to see the seahorses up close and learn about their breeding and conservation. It’s a unique experience you don’t often find elsewhere! 🪸

Very informative tour of the setup there. Seahorse are fascinating. The walking fish were really interesting too. Probably a little expensive for what you get, but the kids really enjoyed it.

Loved it. So knowledgeable, such amazing work. So many cute seahorses, and you even get to touch one. Highly recommended.

One of our stops along the cheese, wine, and honey taste trails certainly deserves a mention in the review. The setup is excellent, allowing visitors to see through their facility and the impressive racks of cheese barrels. I would highly recommend their cheese platter and/or charcuterie, and the toasties are simply divine. Please consider adding it to your list when you visit Tasmania.

Really nice stop — the hot chocolate and chai were excellent, and the whole place is fun to explore. Great cheese display, friendly staff and a relaxed farm atmosphere. Loved the colourful cow sculptures outside too. A visit worth making if you’re passing through.

We just happened to be travelling past and dropped by to taste some delicious cheese and have some ice cream made in site. All delicious. It’s a lovely clean and spacious venue. You get detailed information from their displays and you get to see the cheese in storage, it was interesting. Bought some cheese and crackers, reasonably priced.

Was a short stop for a coffee but was a worthwhile one a must visit stop if you are driving to cradle mountain. All about cheese and variety of them … cheese platter was good and toast with truffle was decadent!

Always love a visit here! Nice selection of cheeses and other local goodies for sale. It has grown over the last 11 years nice to see the display of cheeses maturing. I love the cow statues out the front! Friendly staff.

A little pricey, but that's all to be expected at places like this. The coffees came out warm, which was extremely disappointing. The cheese platter and nachos with jug of cheese tasted good. Bought a few items from the gift shop.

Just filled our hotel fridge with delicious Ashgrove cheese! We always visit when in the area, and Ashgrove never dissapoint. Brilliant cheese with a wide variety of flavours. We loved the newer area with all the information about how the cheese is made, lots of interactive stuff for the kids to learn too.

Whilst we have not been on the actual organised tour we have visited this location many times to show friends the lighthouse and ocean views. As you walk around the habitat, quite frequently there are penguins who are still in their burrows which have not gone to sea. But it is a beautiful view and the tours are at night and guided bookings are by contacting the organizers details which are on the gate to the entrance on the left just prior to the main lighthouse entry.

Excellent tour, the guides are full of interesting details and the penguins are cute as. Be sure to layer up as it's often very cold. Tour lasts just under an hour, you'll need to be able to walk around the beach and the rocks. You can take photos but no flash. They'll make sure you see something good!

Helpful, friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure myself and my friend with disabilities felt comfortable and able to access this experience. A guide stayed with us throughout the tour and support us to have quiet moments away from the crowds, to walk slowly and see the penguins in a way that was extremely appreciated. It was very cold and windy but very worth it to see so, so many sweet penguins make their way up the beach. The tour guide information was exceptional and we learnt so much. We also appreciated how respectful the guides were of the penguins, ensuring they were not disrupted by the people and given theyr space. A great tour for all the family and such a special experience. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience. Deeply touched by staff passion, care and knowledge. I’ve joined the Phillip Island Penguin Tour before, but yours was far more personal, warm and closer to watch the penguins. Watching the penguins return home was magical, and thank you for the staff dedication made our tour truly meaningful and unforgettable.

This is not like any Penguin experience I've done previously. There are no barriers between you and the animals, only common sense and a good explanation of why you don't touch them, the threat it puts them under from predators. Small groups mean the tour guides (shout out to Indy and Daren) can impart information and give people the best experience. Don't be afraid to ask questions, engagement is everything. I was there during breeding season allowing for the joy of a baby penguin hunt... and the pain of the male penguins trying to attract a mate. Some tips. The worse weather, wind and rain wise the more the penguins like it. So rug up. You do have to walk on soft sand and single file between sharp bushes but it's worth it. The drive from Launceston is doable at about 50 minutes. It took us longer to get back because of wildlife. There is a wait to move from the time you arrive to the time you start moving. But there is a cute gift shop to look at, much appreciated.

Absolutely fantastic experience. The penguins are wonderful to watch as they walk close by, and learning about them was fascinating, too. Small separate groups, so it's easy to see them. Highly recommended.

Excellent opportunity to see the Little Penguins up close. Make sure you rug up against the wind & cold. The penguins love the rough water and high tide, as this makes them feel safer against predators and will come ashore earlier (during the guided tour!) From the meeting point you are taken on a guided walk, about 150 m down to the water's edge, where you can see large groups on penguins surf in on the waves and walk up the beach. The staff are very knowledgable, giving information about the habits of hunting, preening, mating and raising young. Penguins can be seen preening on the rocks, then walking/running up the beach to their burrows. We were able to hear their mating calls and 'songs'. No flash photography or torches, staff will use special yellow torches to illuminate the penguins for tourists.

Love being able to get up close with our Tasmanian animals. Also love that this sanctuary cares for animals that can't got back out into the wild, or help them rehabilitate. I feel the sanctuary needs a bit of money spent on some areas that are getting a little tired. Its a wonderful spot and I hope they can get a grant to help.

Very fun day! I had a good experience here. Met many lovely animals. It was my first time to pat a little wombat and tassie devil so soft and cute. Recommend be there before 11 am for free interactive tours

I was very impressed with the staff and the overall experience. I also appreciate that they provide social services for the animals and am delighted by the care they provide. I especially admire how they ensure the animals' comfort is not compromised by visitors. The sessions led by experts, where one can learn about these species, are truly the highlight. Keep up the good work!

I had an incredible experience at Trowunna. I’m really appreciative of all the amazing work they do here. You can tell they really look after the animals and it makes me so happy that they are able to release healed wildlife back into the wild, and have breeding programs in place to boost numbers of these special species.

My partner and I had a wonderful experience at the sanctuary. Seeing the range of rescue animals and how well they were taken care of was great. We took advantage of one of the free guided tours and got up close to a wombat and Tassie devil. It was also great to have a wander to each of the enclosures and hand feed the kangaroos and birds in between. It was a great trip and recommend people to check it out.

Fantastic experience, very friendly and knowledgeable tour, where else do you get to pat a wombat AND a tassie devil. Well worth the trip, you can spend a couple of hours wandering around feeding the wildlife. Go for the beautiful song put out by the albino magpie!

What a brilliant place this is. A variety of wildlife for everyone to see, and the devil’s weren’t worried about coming out to say hi. There are lots of birds, kangaroos, wallabies and wombats. Brilliant work by staff and highly recommend you going in.

We went to Marakoopa Cave today. We love caves so we have been many caves around the world. We think Marakoopa really tops it! I think apart from it was very interesting and we could even see glow worms in the cave, Renae made our tour so special! She was very informative, friendly, funny and she was showing us everything with passion! Thank you so much

Great tour of Marakoopa cave. Stunning formations, very reasonable price ($19 per adult) and a big shout out to our guide Shane who was extremely knowledgeable, informative and hilarious. He is a real asset to this company.

As an ex cave tour guide myself, I was blown away by both the extremely competent staff and the incredible cave. Shannon ran her tour better than any I've seen, with excellent knowledge and passion. Angela was fantastic and kept the tour group entertained with her bright enthusiasm. A fellow cave enthusiast I met on tour, and myself, agreed this was our #1 favourite cave ever. I spoke with other staff as well and they were all incredibly friendly and took the time to thoroughly explore my questions. The glow worms are magical, and the cave boasts more decorations than I could elaborate on in a review. Do NOT skip this cave. Can't recommend it enough. Thanks so much to Marakoopa cave and staff!

Stunning! Can't believe the cave is in this great condition! The rangers are keeping the cave in this mint condition! Give them a call and book in advance! Put on more clothes! Is pretty cold inside!

This was the second cave tour our group did under the same company on the same day. The first being King Solomon Caves. It was absolutely stunning, made more so with the underground rivers. Our guide passed on a lot of knowledge and was entertaining as well. And if you're wondering, yes, we saw many glow worms. Would love to explore the third cave one day!

Beautiful caves, with an interesting history and unusual features. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the caves and made the tour an unforgettable experience. A little bit cold inside haha

Absolutely stunning caves. Tour guide was awesome. Book tours in advance recommended. Gift shop and clean toilets before you go up to caves.

Definitely worth a visit! Su gave us a fantastic tour, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and even showed us some fun tricks. She clearly knows a lot about the cave and the creatures living inside. The glowworms were absolutely magical, like stars twinkling in the night sky. It was so quiet and peaceful. The crystal formations were stunning,nature never ceases to amaze me!

I did the great cathedral and glow worms tour. The caves and glow worms were fascinating. The tour guide we had was really engaging. While I was warned of the stairs on this tour I think it’s very doable for most people. You only do a handful of stairs at a time before a break to look and learn. Definitely a must do while in the area.

Wow! Surreal being in the depths of the cave. Wonderful tour. We had a tour guide who sung in the cathedral part of the cave - i will never forget that experience. It was beautiful. Im not very fit, and thought this may be way out of my comfort zone, but it was definitely doable. Check out the tour times before you go, to avoid any long wait times

It was an amazing experience seeing the Caves, learning how they formed millions of years ago, the grandeur is indescribable. It is definitely a place you need to witness for yourself. I recommend taking the guided tour. John was an awesome guide

Amazing caves, definitely worth a visit, did a tour of Marakoopa Cave on the underground river and glow worms tour. Guide Renee was very knowledgeable. The formations were beautiful and the glow worms felt like a surreal experience. Highly recommend.

Great inexpensive activity, not far from Launceston. I loved learning about the caves history. Shannon very friendly and knowledgeable. We'll be back with our children, they'd love it!

I’ve been on quite a few cave tours and I would highly rate this one! (I did the Cathedral and Glow Worm tour.) Saw lots of glow worms, cave formations were fantastic, and there is a river running through the cave which adds an extra dimension. Tour was a good 50mins and our guide Sharon was fantastic. Do the 15 minute nature walk between the ticket office and the caves if you can - very pretty!

What an amazing shop!!! We were mesmerised. They have all the unique gifts and so much more. You will need lots of time to come here. Perhaps even have coffee and a slice of cake while you shop. Simply stunning! The staff are very helpful and friendly, and the items are all arranged neatly and beautifully. I can't wait to go back. Love it!!

I remember going here as a kid years ago, and so while we were in the area, I wanted to take my children. It's different from what I remember as, unfortunately, there was the fire back in 2015, but it's still a fantastic shop to visit. There is such a wide variety of things to buy for gifts and some very unique ones. There are also activities in the outdoor areas which the kids loved to play. There has been a lot of thought put into Reliquaire, and you can see it throughout the whole shop.

Oh I love this store, so many different little spaces, displays and gifts for absolutely everyone. This store is like no other, I have not seen anything like it before. The staff are so friendly and willing to assist when required. I have been here several times already and I am never left disappointed. Thank you Reliquaire for creating such an amazing store to visit. See you again soon. 🤍

What an extraordinary fantasy and memorabilia experience, disguised as a shop! The themed spaces extend from Alice in Wonderland to Chainsaw massacre, with a glorious Father Christmas section - and a red chair for photos. The store has been here for many years and its display are constantly refreshed, I’m told. Come with $5 or $5,000 and be surprised! BTW the cafe next door, Shadows, has good Aussie food at pre-inflation prices!

Coolest gift shop I've been to, huge building with many different areas both indoors and outdoors each with its own theme to explore, definitely worth a visit!

Most amazing store! A place of dreams. We had such a great time looking around. I can't believe they fit so much stuff in one store. They even had earrings from my favourite maker Denz and Co. Definitely stop in if your in the area.

What an amazing store, if you can’t find a gift here you will never find it!! A great mix of practical and fun items. I usually have to drag my husband to the shops but he loved it in here. A trip to the disco toilet should be included in the experience. We had a lovely coffee too. Definitely worth a visit.

Such a lovely location for a house made hot chocolate! There are viewing windows to have a look at what is being made or decorated in store. There's a separate building where you can buy the housemade chocolates. A cafe to have breakfast or a light lunch. Cafe on the pricey side but nice if you're passing through. Friendly staff. Beautiful grounds with a play area for the kids!

Got there early on Saturday morning and it was a great way to start the day after getting off the ferry. Food was fantastic, hot chocolate was divine, and service by the young woman serving (It was an A name! I'm so sorry, I did ask and then forgot!) was excellent. Definitely my go-to stop next time I'm catching the ferry over from the mainland.

This was the one location I was excited to see in my trip. The museum is very informative and you can watch them at work - but the waffles and hot chocolate combo was beyond amazing. Don’t forget to pop by the shop and buy some choccies ☺️.

My granddaughter Zoe and myself visited Amvers before Zoe was to head to the mainland on the Spirit. We both had a toasted sandwich with different ingredients and they were both delicious. Then we finished off sharing a chocolate slice which also was delicious The atmosphere, staff friendliness and the general outlook make Anvers a beautiful place to visit to enjoy food and the company you have with you. It is very relaxing. AND THE CHOCOLATE 🍫 IS SO SO YUMMY! GO AND I BELIEVE YOU WILL AGREE 😃

Very interesting place to visit. It has made me appreciate the art of chocolate making again. Pretty surroundings and well presented. Love the free taster bag.

An elegant chocolate tourist factory 🍫🏭 It’s good to have a hot chocolate with the self guided tour!! We learned the history of chocolate in Tasmania and saw lots of equipment in the window cases ✨ We really enjoyed watching the chocolate chef performed in front of us!!🤤 The food and desserts here were amazing!! Good quality, beautiful, delicious and inexpensive with large quantities!!! And the staff here were very friendly too!! It’s a must visit attraction especially it just takes 10-15 minutes from Devonport CBD👍🏻

Nice friendly service. If unsure what to choose for the day, waitress can recommend you the best on the day. Viewing their museum and cooking window then grap a raspberry slice "yum yum"

A must visit on your travels through the area! Family-friendly fun! Lots to explore, mazes galore! Cafe has alot of choice for food and drinks. The plain scones are warm served with jam and cream or date scones served with date/maple butter & cream. Fresh & delicious! Clean toilet facilities for all & a kids playground our kids loved! Cute little gift gallery too & highly recommend the show bags for purchase!

So much fun! The mazes are amazing and there are extra things that we discovered within the maze. Reception gave us a list and we spent a fun day finding all the items on the list. Love the lower village of Crackpot. Great fun for any age.

Great family outing and we love the hospitality of the staff. Specially Gayle was wonderful. Thought was raining but after a few minutes the weather was great. Toilets were clean. There is a cafe that serve hot food till 3:30 pm and restaurant closes at 3:00 pm. A gift shop with delicious ice cream and loads of gifts to take away. There is a lavender farm as well that you can visit during the right season.

What a weird little place - in a good way! We stopped by on our drive from Launceston to Cradle Mountain on a weekday afternoon. Empty but made it an even better experience - have not been anywhere like it before. It's a selection of mazes and dad jokes, tiny houses and buildings, as well as world landmarks. You need to see it to get it. Staff were very friendly and pleasant and gave us some jams to take home which was lovely. Would come back and highly recommend.

Bit of a delayed review. But my husband and I went to Tasmazia in February for our honeymoon. We just want to say we 100% recommend! Staff were beautiful and lovely. Beautiful food with views. Amazing mazes! And a great all round fun place. If you're looking for something fun and unique to do, definitely come here. There's so much to see and unique amazing sculptures and mazes. They also have the best pudding. Thank you guys for the amazing time and the beautiful food and service you gave us.

Multiple mazes and family fun discoveries, make sure you ask for the puzzle sheet and find the clues to complete the hidden word ; a really well maintained place, fun for any age ; highly recommended

Great fun! Spent 3 hrs there could have easily spent more! Get lost in the maze find the fun things and so much to do!!!

Travelling on the Spirit of Tasmania is most definitely the best way I find to travel to & from Tassie for holidays & photoshoots. I can take my own car, taking as much luggage & gear as I need, and return back home to Geelong with lots of uniquely Tasmanian produce like honey, ciders, raspberry jams, gins & wines. The service from the staff, both onboard and on land is exceptional....friendly, efficient, attentive and helpful. All of my 14 crossings have been comfortable & relaxing with the on deck furniture, photos of Tassie on the walls, or the views from the windows. There is plenty of variety of good food from both the TMK and the bar on Deck 9; and entertainment in the cinemas, performers on Deck 9 or people promoting Tasmanian produce. I choose to travel overnight and book 'inside cabins' with their own toilet & showers, as there is less rock & roll if there are any swells & rough seas etc in the Strait. Also, that way, I am not wasting a day travelling and can get going first thing in the mornings to see, photograph & experience the beauty of Tassie. The embarking and disembarking processes are quick & efficient, especially considering the number of people & vehicles that are travelling most times. It is also a lovely view and experience to see both Geelong(my hometown) and Devonport from a different POV when standing on the decks photographing.

This was our 3rd time to Tasmania on the Spirit., enjoyed it all. We have taken motorhome before, then tent another time. This time travelled in our vehicle to hire a van in TAS. Staff doing the boarding were great in directing traffic on and off. Very clean and comfortable whichever way you choose and we have done all modes. Staff very helpful, food and drinks great. For us the Spirit is our favourite way to get to Tasmania. Hopefully I’ll get to sail on one of the new SOT although this trip possibly is our last( sadly) We love Tassie, the people, history and the amazing scenery everywhere.. highly recommend this journey to everyone❤️❤️❤️

Very organised, friendly staff good facilities, we had the theatre all to ourselves. Cabin was squeezy might get a bigger one next time. A bit of a rolling journey.

I traveled to Tasmania recently for a 10 days holidays with my Amiga Anne, & we went on board the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry with Anne’s car. We booked on line, travelling by day with reckliner seats & booked a cabin on our trip back to Geelong port last Sunday night 12/10/25. Being both pensioners we got a huge discount on our tickets. We both enjoyed both trips there & back, & I will recommend to all my friends & family to have a go & travel to Tasmania with the ferry! Thank you! Zhennie Thomson

Love taking the Spirit of Tasmania to Tassie for trips. Very easy when you want to take your car (or not)! Great staff across the board, and the onboard amenities are great, including the cabins (can only speak on behalf of the twin or bunk rooms, however am sure all variations are great). Comfortable and well priced. We personally wouldn’t choose to travel to Tassie and back any other way.

Our second journey on the Spirit and we loved it! Our amenities were spotlessly clean and comfortable. Meals and services provided were excellent! Praise to the staff and crew for their efforts.

I had a wonderful trip over on the Spirit of Tasmania. From the lady who gave me my boarding pass with a friendly smile and clear directions for where to go next, to the man who made my vegetable pizza and was thrilled when I told him I enjoyed it. The experience was fun, easy and relaxing. Ammenities excellent.

Absolutely wonderful park. Feed kangaroos, so many experiences you can have. We did a capyboro experience. Kids loved it! Truly worth the trip in. Cafe on site. The animals are rescues and incredibly well cared for. A must do trip.

A Peaceful Haven at Wings Wildlife Park Wings Wildlife Park is a true gem nestled in the tranquil Gunns Plains countryside. From the moment you arrive, there’s a deep sense of peace in the air—surrounded by lush hills and the soft sounds of nature, it's the perfect escape from the busy world. What makes this place truly special is the heartfelt vision behind it. The idea to bring together native and exotic animals, farm life, and genuine hospitality in one place is simply brilliant. It’s more than just a wildlife park—it feels like a living, breathing sanctuary shaped with passion and care. The animals are clearly well loved, and the enclosures are thoughtfully designed. I especially enjoyed the Tasmanian devils. The caretakers were incredibly informative, sharing stories and facts with warmth and enthusiasm, which made the experience both educational and memorable. Wings Wildlife Park is not just a place to visit—it’s a place to slow down, connect with animals, and appreciate the quiet beauty of Tasmania’s rural heart.

The best zoo I have been to in Australia. marmoset and meerkat encounters are relatively cheap and you get to hand feed and spend up to 20mins in each enclosure. the monkeys like climbing on you and hanging out which was our highlight. The breadth of animals they have is great and would highly recommend to anyone.

Lovely day. Friendly staff. Loved the Tassie devil encounter. Wish the cafe had vegetarian and vegan offerings. If you love animals perhaps don’t eat so many of them?!?!

We loved this place, so much to see. The moment I arrived i got to see beautiful wombats and a few tassie devils (Yani and Sydney) close up. Amazing place, really well laid out so you could take your time to see everything and get close. We had a cold day and finished with a beautiful soup in the Cafe. 10/10 Staff were super lovely also

Very interesting place. The lady at reception was very enthusiastic and all other staff i saw were extremely happy and helpful. A great experience feeding fish and kangaroos. Was also great to walk through the farm area. The drive down was scenic and beautiful, I have rarely seen such amazing scenery. There are a few single lane roads, so be careful driving if its dusk. Many animals are rescues and it is such a wonderful thing to see them being taken care of.

Great place to visit for a whole family. Kids really love to see different kinds of animals from wild life to farm. A peaceful and calm atmosphere to feel when visiting this place. We will plan to camp if we have a chance.

Our tour was unbelievable, hands down one of the best caves I’ve been too in Australia. Our tour guide Trish was hilarious, knew how to make us all laugh, have a good time and give a tonne of information about the caves. One thing I love is that these guys know how to give you and incredible experience as well as have a fun time doing it, definitely will be coming back and referring anyone who visits to see you guys! Thanks again Trish !

Good value for the entry fee, tour went for approx an hour and the cave is very interesting and you see a fair bit! Worth the trip if you're in the area, great to combine with other activities to make a day of it. Parking was good and there was toilets at the entry. We had a large group made up of multiple smaller groups, but the guide did a good job of making sure everyone saw things and rotated front people etc. Glow worms are cool to see at the end.

We have been to many caves over the years but these are very special and unique. Not really a great place if you have any mobility restrictions as a few places like the entry entale a steep ladder decent. We loved it here and found the guided tour to be intriguing.

We were not sure what to expect as we've seen a number of caves when we lived on the west coast, but this one was pretty spectacular! Our tour guide Ben was very passionate and knowledgeable; we learned quite a bit. Thank you for the Mt Paris Dam recommendation, we loved it. Also, we've been meaning to review you guys for months so apologies for the delay.

Great tour for $20. Ben was very knowledgeable and approachable about the caves and the area. Spectacular formations. We drove in from Burnie and out through Ulverstone, both great drives.

Great experience. Friendly staff and a tour filled with humor and great information. Visited Sept 15th end of morning. No waiting time, but no public holiday

We were so fortunate to be able to just turn up and join a guided tour. Our guide Ben was fantastic and we really enjoyed the whole experience

What an amazing place! It’s bursting with color and textures everywhere you look. I was thrilled to spot two adorable platypuses in different lakes—such a fun surprise! The staff were incredibly friendly and shared some wonderful stories about the grounds that made the visit even more special.

Was $15 entry which surprised me at first, but after walking through grounds you can tell that they’re well looked after. Also saw a few platypus’ and pademelons which was cool! I didn’t eat at the cafe but it smelt amazing when I walked past.

Lovely little spot, $15 per adult without concession, very nice spot for a wander, spent around 2 hours here wandering about admiring the plants, bugs and little creatures. Quite enjoyed watching the bumblebees flying around gathering their pollen. But also was lucky spotting a Potoroo and what appeared to be an eastern barred bandicoot. Very nice would visit again.

Went for the Autumn Spectacular and it lived up to the name. Truly spectacular!! The colours were just incredible. Definitely recommend spending a couple of hours walking through the gardens, around the lake and just taking it all in.

Beautiful gardens and lovely cafe for a Devonshire tea afterwards! Highly recommend you partake in both the walk and the scones.

We were a couple of many visitors viewing this garden, which showcases a spectacular array of Rhododendrons, annuals and perennials in an entire range of colours. The displays in early November are a “must see” and everywhere is an eruption of blooms. A highlight of northern Tassie.

Started with lunch, excellent. We then strolled down to where the platypuses were. Then we went up and around and and should have taken a map. So many sights to see. Coming back again when they are in full bloom.

Very cool place to see lots of gorgeous unique art work, beautiful gifts too. Wall of paper so darn cool, & the paper mache life size figurines WOW, highly recommend visiting & the pictures made from magazines.... Mind blowing 💗💗💗

A highlight of Burnie, a place where you can view and purchase local artisans wares. Also has a good tourist information and Papermaking workshop,...Definitely worth doing. Cafe is busy and average price.

Well worth a visit to watch many various arts and crafts being made. There's also a pictorial history of Burnie and a couple of really interesting installations.

Collection of unique local art and other pieces, including a cafe and lots of local attractions. You can access from the beach boardwalk

Kids throughly enjoyed the paper making tour inside. Learnt alot and even dicided to purchase a paper making kit after the tour. Our tour guide was full of knowledge about all things paper. Would recomend if your in the area and if the weather is not great, as was our case, perfect indoor activity. Also has art work and various other stores.

Made paper, looked at restored coal loader made in Burnie. Little penguins are located by board walk. Local artists display their art. Very interesting.

A must see when in Burnie. Take a paper making tour and see how paper is made. The Makers' Workshop has very helpful and friendly staff, especially Darren on the paper making tour; he's very knowledgeable and passionate about the paper making process and it shows; an asset to the place. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about the process. You also get the chance to make paper at the end, awesome experience.

Very easy to access, well set up BBQ area and park. Great place for a family lunch with a very scenic back drop. Stunning 😍

A hidden gem near Burnie! The short walk to the falls is easy and refreshing, and the scenery is absolutely stunning—especially after some rain when the water really flows. There’s a lovely picnic area at the top and even a viewing platform for great photos. Peaceful, clean, and perfect for a quick nature escape.

Absolutely lovely find! Its beautiful from any angle, free, and easy access. If you have trouble with stairs I recommend parking at the lower area and walking up a gentle incline to get a view from below.

Beautiful and a lovely walk Plenty of soots for a picnic spot and clean toilets The falls are beautiful

Well worth the drive. Easy viewing of the Falls, the carpark is directly above the Falls with picnic tables and lawn.

Guide Falls is an absolute gem! The falls themselves are stunning. The area is well-maintained, with clean picnic spots and easy walking tracks that make it accessible for visitors. The walk to the falls is short and pleasant, surrounded by lush greenery that really adds to the experience. It’s a perfect spot for a peaceful escape into nature. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the North West area.

Another pretty waterfall that you can easily drive to within a couple of minutes walk.

We attended the moonlight stories show in the night. It’s EXTRAORDINARY!!! The light and the music were amazing!!!

Lovely classic style lighthouse, however views over the ocean from the ground are obscured by foliage.

A great addition to the tulip farm visit. The lighthouse is close by 1km and provides a great view of the lake and surrounding countryside.

So beautiful along the coast. You can drive up even though it's closed through the week.

Lovely walk from Lighthouse to Table Cape much more relaxing than driving between the 2! 20min stroll each way even dallying to snap photos. Path being upgraded so safe for anyone other than true tearaways. One pitch up/down to take care but I am not fitness freak and enjoyed it!!

We stopped here to checkout the lighthouse before going around to the lookout to enjoy the views. You can have a tour of the lighthouse if your there at the right time. You may want to enjoy the short walk from either if you like to park at one and walk to the other. There are picnic tables at each site if you like to stop for lunch or a snack and enjoy the view.

Not a lot to see - but good views over the neighbouring tulip farm and lake. Nice picnic benches but no real view of the sea, and no other services.

The beach itself is alright. Not the prettiest but a decent place if you want to cycle or jog along this beach. I would imagine it will be a much better experience if the sky wasn't gloomy :') anyway I came here for the wild penguins and this place is convenient with tram. Easily accessible

Sunset over Australian beaches are awesome .. u will stick with beauty of beach however not great bathing beach but amazing places to hangout for ur cocktails and beer

Went here for our beach hunt in melbourne..honestly speaking , with beach like these I don't understand why Australian preferred bali beaches ..but aside from that the place was nice and we spent around 2 hours here before moving to Brighton.. One thing I did not know before, that the have a penguin conversitory and you can see the penguins at night..

Experiencing the history and grandeur of the renowned sporting arena was truly remarkable. The comprehensive tour provided an intimate look at the stadium's iconic features, including the hallowed grounds and player facilities. Engaging with the rich heritage and significant moments that have transpired within its walls was captivating. The informative insights into the venue's evolution and its place in sports history were enlightening. Overall, the visit left a lasting impression of admiration for the venue's significance.

Visiting the Melbourne Cricket Ground was truly a memorable experience. The stadium’s sheer size and historic significance immediately stood out—it’s not just a sporting venue, but a landmark filled with tradition and pride. Walking through the gates, I could feel the energy and legacy of countless legendary matches that have taken place here. The guided tour was well-organized and gave fascinating insights into the stadium’s history, the players, and the cultural importance of cricket in Australia. Standing in the stands and imagining the roar of over 100,000 fans was simply breathtaking. The MCG shop was also a highlight, offering a wide range of memorabilia and merchandise, perfect for any cricket lover. Overall, the visit was both exciting and inspiring. Whether you’re a cricket enthusiast, a sports fan, or just someone who appreciates history and culture, the MCG is an absolute must-visit in Melbourne

Visited the MCG for the AC/DC concert, and it was an unforgettable experience! The energy, the sound quality, and the atmosphere were absolutely electric. The stadium was well-organised, easy to navigate, and the vibe was just incredible. A perfect venue for a legendary show! ⚡🎸

My daughter and I, visiting from England, had a great time on the tour of the MCG. Expertly guided by club member Anne, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience on the eve of the AFL Grand Final. As we anticipated, the changing rooms and Long Room were out of bounds so close to the big event, but these minor disappointments were soon forgotten as the rest of the tour was so informative and inspiring. Should you have the opportunity to also visit the adjoining museum you must do so, as this is a phenomenal experience. Many thanks to Bill, the very helpful volunteer who entertained me here. A real highlight of our trip to the city.

This is the second largest cricket ground. We were welcome to visit the cricket ground. Each and everything of the auditorium was clearly presented to us. We saw the cricketers landing area , their changing rooms , Physio therapy rooms , resting rooms . The ground was being maintained. We also saw the place where the speakers sit , the management sitting area cafeteria and so on . The best part is the museum. Very informative. Must visit whole you are at Australia don’t miss it.

Fantastic venue for AC DC's return to Melbourne in many years. Staff onsite were great to help and answer questions. Sure it's a blast for a match there as well!

Purchased a Tour and Australian Sports Museum Ticket. Best buy! Tour was fantastic and the museum has been well set out. Highly recommend both but if you're not a museum fan at least do the MCG Tour.

It has been years since I was last at the Shrine and I cannot remember it looking so well kept and iconic. This area is such a wonderful part of Melbourne to walk around and to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for Australia. The trees around the Shrine are dedicated to various Battalions and units throughout the ADF history. Thank you so much to everyone involved in the maintenance of one of Australia's most sacred areas.

A Profoundly Moving and Beautiful Experience The Shrine of Remembrance is one of the most peaceful and powerful places in Melbourne. The architecture is stunning, the views of the city from the balcony are breathtaking, and the exhibitions inside are informative and emotionally touching. It’s not just a monument, it’s a tribute to history, sacrifice, and remembrance. The eternal flame, the sanctuary, and the hourly Ray of Light ceremony were deeply moving. Highly recommend visiting, whether you’re a local or a tourist. It’s a perfect place to reflect, learn, and pay respects. Free entry and beautifully maintained grounds make it even more worthwhile.

The Shrine of Remembrance is far more than just a monument, it is a moving experience and one of Melbourne's most important landmarks. Visitors should be sure to explore the Galleries of Remembrance beneath the structure. These galleries house exhibitions featuring artifacts, personal stories, and interactive displays. The experience is both educational and emotional. A climb to the Balcony is highly recommended, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline.

A beautiful and peaceful place that I often visit. The architecture is impressive, and the view from the top gives a great look over the Melbourne skyline. The lush gardens around it add to the serene atmosphere. It’s a war memorial built to honour all Australians who have served and continue to serve in wars and peacekeeping missions. There’s also a museum inside with interesting displays and personal stories. It’s a place where you could sit for hours, switch off, and reflect. Definitely worth a visit.

It is an amazing place to visit, to learn the history of war. You’d better allow 3 hours to visit the place. There are street parking available that peak hours $4/ hour and off-peak $2/ hour.

I were surprised there is no charge for visiting Shrine of Remembrance. Donations are accepted. Great place to visit and learn about Australian military involvement around the world 🌎 The architecture is impressive and the view of the city is breathtaking. Thank you all who sacrifice to keep us safe. Peace be on earth 🌎 🙏

The place is truly grand and beautiful, absolutely magnificent. If you visit Melbourne, this is definitely a must-see. Underneath the structure, there’s a museum that you can visit for free.

The NGV is definitely a must-visit when you’re in Melbourne. The variety of art on display is incredible — from classic works to contemporary installations, Indigenous pieces, and international exhibitions. Every room offers something unique, and you can easily spend hours exploring without getting bored. What I loved most was how thoughtfully everything was curated. The exhibitions had a clear flow, the descriptions were informative, and the overall vibe was calm and inspiring. The gallery space itself is also stunning — spacious, clean, and easy to access by public transport. That said, it can get very crowded during major exhibitions. Some parts felt rushed or hard to fully enjoy because of the number of people. Also, the layout can be a bit confusing at times, especially when transitioning between different sections or locations. A few visitors seemed frustrated by early room closures or long queues for ticketed exhibits. Still, the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. NGV offers a rich cultural experience and is a gem for both locals and tourists. Just try to visit on a weekday or earlier in the day to avoid the peak rush!

I recently visited the National Gallery of Victoria and absolutely loved it! The art collection is diverse and beautifully presented, combining Australian, Indigenous, and international works. The building itself is stunning, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Entry to the main exhibits is free, which makes it even better. A must-visit spot in Melbourne for art and culture lovers!

The NGV is always a great place to spend a few hours, even though it was quite packed during my visit, there’s so much to see that it’s worth it. The mix of permanent collections and changing exhibitions keeps things fresh, and I really appreciated that some of the exhibitions are free, which makes it very accessible. A must-visit if you’re in Melbourne.

My wife and I were visiting from Sydney and decided to go to the NGV as we were walking around the city. We were very pleasantly surprised at the diversity of the art and sculptures in the collections. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Melbourne.

I visited the National Gallery of Victoria on a busy Saturday afternoon with friends. I’ve been a few times before as a local, but this visit stood out because I had the chance to really explore more of what the gallery offers. It’s just a short walk or tram ride from Flinders Street Station if you’re coming by PTV, or plenty of paid parking is available nearby if you’re driving. The building itself is hard to miss, with its large size, striking fountain and man made pond out the front, and of course the iconic water wall at the entrance. Entry is free unless you choose to see one of the rotating paid exhibitions. This time, we skipped the ticketed exhibit and wandered through the many free galleries instead. On the ground floor, there’s a stunning foyer space filled with sculptures and the famous room with the colourful stained glass ceiling, which always feels magical to walk under. From there, you can step outside into the sculpture garden and pond area, which is another highlight. Getting upstairs is easy with both escalators and accessible options. The galleries are currently arranged by region, and it was fascinating to walk through each one and see the differences and similarities across cultures. I especially loved the Japanese and Chinese galleries, the detail and richness of the traditional pieces were incredible. Even though it was busy, the space felt open enough for everyone to explore at their own pace. There were toilets on every level, information points, and staff around to help if you needed directions. The building itself is so large that it almost felt like a maze at times but getting “lost” just meant stumbling upon more artwork to enjoy. We didn’t even manage to get through everything before closing, which only gives me another reason to come back. Everything felt well looked after, and the whole gallery had such a calm, inspiring vibe. I’d absolutely recommend visiting the NGV if you’re in Melbourne and looking for something to do in the CBD. It’s packed with history, culture, and beauty, and it’s the kind of place that makes you want to return again and again.

After Six years，I visited here again. There were many tourists and many interesting exhibitions, which were really amazing. After visiting the exhibition, you can also have a cup of coffee or some afternoon tea here, buy some art souvenirs, and there are many books worth reading.

The National Gallery of Victoria is such a gem in Melbourne! ✨ From the moment you walk in, the space feels inspiring and full of creativity. The mix of classic art and modern exhibitions is amazing—you’ll always find something new that surprises you. The building itself is beautiful, and it’s the perfect spot to spend a few hours wandering, reflecting, or just enjoying the vibe. Definitely one of my favorite places in the city! 🎨

Wandering through iconic Hosier Lane 🎨 Street art for days and colour in every corner. So visually satisfying. Be sure to check it out if you’re ever in Melbourne.

This place is full of cool street art and colourful walls. It’s a fun spot to walk through and take photos. Always something new to see here.

One of Melbourne's iconic places. Great for photography. Definitely a selfie / instagrable spot. Attracts alot of tourists.

Filled with murals & street art of different kinds - some moving & evocative, some fun.

This graffiti street was overhyped. Not the best graffiti I’ve seen. I preferred AC/DC street. Malaysia had better graffiti.

Ever-changing gallery of art street. Colourful

When in Melbourne, for the gram and memories. No entry fee, try to go during non peak timings to avoid crowds all wanting to take pictures.

Flinders Street station. Over the years I've seen a few impressive improvement changes. The organisation of signs is super helpful. Within seconds you can figure out where to catch the right train, making your travel experience enjoyable.

Play mini golf here in the ballroom during Rising Festival. Such a great space, rarely used. Was a good time.

Busy station in the centre of Melbourne. Great food shops. Use trams for all the important places.

Could have been more cleaner. Could have more seating for the eateries People literally sit on the stairs and sit near the toilets to eat food. So hard to watch that. Passengers are paying lot of money it’s not like they have a choice. Instead of just putting money on the restorations spend tiny portion on customers needs as well But I must say such a beautiful view from outside

Close to our accommodation, beautiful heritage architecture, train station, shops .. very busy place .. street car pass by .

We visited this iconic landmark in Melbourne. The architecture is classic and a nice place for photos. However, inside the station is all business and we could not get in without a train ticket. There are some food stalls and cafes just along the side of the train station.

Huge station with friendly staff and a lot of shops. I visited this station on Australia Day. There was a big crowd in front of the station but the police and security staff kept everything in order. This is historically building. It worths to visit even if you don’t use train. There is beautiful cathedral in front of the station. Good place to visit too.

Melbourne Museum is an absolute gem! We visited after lunch with my son, and even in just a few hours, we had an incredible time. This is a place where kids (and adults!) can learn so much in a fun and engaging way — you could easily spend a full day exploring. The dinosaur exhibition was a highlight for us, packed with fascinating displays and information that really capture children’s curiosity. We also loved the insect area, which was both educational and surprisingly fun to explore. Everything is well-presented, interactive, and perfect for sparking young minds. Adults tickets are $15, and kids go free, making it fantastic value for families. I recommend booking online to avoid the queues. We’ll definitely be back for a full-day visit next time!

An awesome experience! The Star Wars Lego exhibition was super easy to access and really simple to navigate. There are plenty of activities throughout, for both kids and adult fans. It’s a great outing for families as well as die-hard Star Wars and LEGO fans. The staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend checking it out!

Pretty cool place tbh. The Melbourne Museum is huge — like, you could easily get lost in there. Loved the dinosaur section and the First Peoples exhibit, super interesting and well done. There’s also a kids area that looked fun even if you’re not a kid lol. Some parts felt a bit dated though, and a few displays could use more interactive stuff or better lighting. But overall, it’s a chill spot to spend a few hours and learn a bunch of random cool things. Would def recommend if you’ve got some free time in Melbourne.

I took my granddaughter to the Halloween at the Museum on the afternoon of Oct31st. We came a little early so we had to wait to enter. It was such an exciting event for my granddaughter…and for me. Kids in costume as well as the adults. The activities for the kids were great and we enjoyed looking at the gallery in the dark. It was fantastic. Parking in the basement was handy. Staff were friendly but not quite knowledgeable of the wheres and whats that night. Still, I will recommend this museum and this particular event. Its a must see and must attend!

Very engaging museum! •it was a quick visit but very interesting •easy to read information •clean, well-organized areas and toilets •an amazing experience esp for dinosaur lovers! They also have a shop.

We had the best experience at the museum. We went there when there was the Lego Exhibition on Star Wars - the creation were insanely good! There was also a rainforest in the museum - we went in to have a look. We saw the T-Rex show at the iMax theatre too. We had so, so much fun. Absolutely recommend a visit - more than worth the day and money.

This review is only about current special exhibition: Treasures of the Viking Age -The Galloway Hoard. The Galloway Hoard discovered in 2014 had 100 items, a small but very significant find. However, what is exhibited here is a lot less, museum blurb states about 90 pieces but it does look significantly less. The items are spread out in sections - entrances like Viking doorways & "padded" with massive graphics via video & static projections, albeit immersively displayed & easy to digest. The superstars of the Hoard - the small silver vessel with lid, the tiny crystal jar covered with elaborate goldwork & one more item - are all 3D-printed replicas. The reason - too fragile to be transported. I really liked the presentation & background on how the hoards were buried, the trade & marauding routes traversed by Viking warlords that enabled procurement of precious metals from far away lands along the Silk Route. But disingenuous inclusion of other discoveries is not necessary. I would rather hear more about why hoarding was so prevalent 1000 years ago or did I miss this bit? There is enough original intricate pieces that makes this exhibition worthwhile - artefacts like the Silver Cross with the fine spiral chain, intricate armbands (make great copies for olde fashion wrist watches!) & the elaborate brooches. But, but (& the reason for my 3 star review) - Where are the replicas of Vikings - both men & women, depicting how these wonderful ancient antiquities were adorned/worn? This would have really showcased the the wealth of the warlords & their treasured heirlooms..✨️✨️

Always an incredible experience! I've been coming here for 10 years and my mum did before me with her parents too. Staff are lovely, horses are gorgeous and the whole atmosphere is magical!

Was a very good experience, horses are docile, staffs are friendly and supportive. Boots, jackets, bum bags provided. Wild animals could be seen, kangaroos, rabbits, and even peacock. Strongly recommend to take the 3 hour ride, 2 hours definitely not enough to find your fun.

Great fun day. This was an anniversary present. The horses are great and well looked after. Lots of parking. They can supply bum bags, boots and helmets. Your welcome to take you own. The start took roughly an hour to get everyone on there horses, so be prepared to sit on them for a while. Abit of paper work to do at the start. Nice little trails through the bush. We picked the 3 hour afternoon ride. We got to stop at a little house on the hill overlooking everywhere, we had coffee, cordial and biscuits. With a much needed toilet break. People were helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience! It was a present for my fiancé’s birthday, and we loved it! It was my first horse ride, so I was a bit nervous, but all the staff were very friendly and helpful. In our group, we had a mother and daughter as our coaches. They shared stories with us, which made our riding experience even more special. We will be back ❤️lovely!

Was an amazing experience, the people working there are so kind. We had never ridden horses before, but the team made it easy to learn. There’s the option to be picked up from Wallan Station making it easy with PTV.

Where do I begin? Wonderful day out for my friends birthday. I was paired with ANZAC(the horse) who was a well mannered gentleman throughout the ride. We were hot to trot and saw a roo, a bunny and an echidna.

This was one of the best experiences I had... I went on the 3-hour trail ride and the staff there made sure everyone was given horses according to their ability and made sure everyone was comfortable with them.... The staff were just lovely - they talked to each one of us and asked about if we were comfortable or not. The way the staff handled beginner riders and experienced riders separately was so good. they made sure that the beginners were sent first and the experienced to canter behind them. I would go this place every 2 weeks from now on cause the pricing for this 3 hour ride was worth every penny of the experience.
