Four of us enjoyed our lunch on Monday this week. I had the eye fillet steak with vegetables and it was absolutely top-notch! Succulent perfectly cooked steak accompanied by heaps of delicious vegetables that were perfectly cooked. I’m a frequent diner and this seems to be so much better than some of the meals I’ve had recently. My husband really enjoyed his chicken mignon too. Again sensational vegetables and plenty on our plate. I will definitely be having this dish again.. My compliments to the chef.!
Nice club with ample room for dining from a substantial menu. Non-alcohol beer options are very limited and seem a bit behind the times. The fireplace is a lovely setting in winter, shame there are mostly high tables around that area. Food was quick and of good quality, juicy steaks, crispy battered fish. The QR code at the table avoids the queue for food orders, which is a nice detail.
Plenty of room to move around if you have a 4 wheel walker or wheelchair. Food was nice and it was good that there was staff around to help if needed. Only disappointing thing was if you come in as a group even with elderly residents you have to stand at reception and sign each person in. Should have been allowed to go in as group with leader writing each person on a piece of paper with leader signing them in.
Just had the mixed grilled platter for 2. My lord was it good. Absolutely hit the spot. The whole menu is yummy and the bar drinks complement it. I’m off to slap a 50 on the pokies. See ya there!
Yeah..not bad.. steak was really good and salad/chips tasty too. Pretty standard pub vibe across the board. Maybe a bit above on the atmosphere. I'd go again but nothing to write home about. 3.5 stars but gave it 4 for nothing really negative to notice.
I rarely write reviews, but felt like I had to say something. I came in for dinner a few hours ago with my wife and the lady on reception who I believe was a manager was rude and even treating other staff with disrespect. The food wasn’t too great either. I had the steak focaccia which was undercooked and looked like someone just slapped it together out the back. Not worth the hype. There are way better venues out there that are deserving of your precious dollars.
All chips were great My daughter’s Chicken Burger was the best she had ever had. The Vegetarian Lasagna was burnt reheated and not very good. The Lamb Souvlaki was bad the lamb was black tough and almost un eatable. Disappointing as I had taken people there saying the food was always good
We come once a month with a group of 8-10 people because we love it there. Not only is it a cosy atmosphere and super friendly staff, the food is always delicious. Well cooked and plenty of it for the price. Looking forward to next month.

An excellent and well maintained cinemas. We had a wonderful experience watching a movie at vjunior. My son absolutely loved the experience and wanting to go again. The lights are always on during the movie so the kids won’t get scared and can move anytime during the movie. They have some play area just outside the screen for kids to entertain themselves before the movie starts. They also give a ten minute break in between for kids. Overall a great experience and we will definitely visit again.
An absolutely amazing and well maintained cinema! We went to this village cinema to see 'a minecraft movie'. It was Absolute cinema! and as a fan of minecraft myself, I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it if you're a fan of minecraft too! I got one of the exclusive souvenir popcorn containers at the candy bar, and there was a cool minecraft movie backdrop thing you could take a picture with. the cinema layout is simple and straightforward, and there are plenty of cinema rooms too. And there are different ways to watch a movie. There's the vjunior cinema that's for kids and has a slide and play area, and there's the vmax cinema that's really high quality definition, and then there's the gold class cinema where they serve food and the seats are very comfortable. But we of course just went to the regular cinema room because it's the cheapest. the candy bar has a good selection of different snacks and beverages and the prices are fair. So overall, village cinemas knox is a great cinema, and village cinemas are the best cinemas to watch a movie at, in my opinion. Would definitely come here again to watch another movie in the future.
We had a lovely time tonight in Gold Class watching Deadpool 3. The lounge was very well presented and bar extremely inviting. A great menu and selection of quality wines and cocktails. We were chauffeured to our seats by a friendly young lady. The seats were super comfortable and reclined. The dividing table had lots of room for food and drinks. Overall a great experience.
Such kind sweet service, first time coming to this cinema. Not very packed but very clean & lots of kind service.
My recent visit to Gold Class cinema Westfield left me feeling very disappointed. My family gave me 2x$50 vouchers, however when I went to use them to buy 2x$30 senior tickets, I was surprised to learn that the ticket - no matter the value, only admits into the theatre and not the value of what it was purchased for. My disappointment is that I feel I should have been given another voucher or card to the balance of $20 from each voucher, being the change. This was not made clear to me or the person purchasing the gift vouchers. I look forward to hearing from someone in answer to this issue.
Thoroughly enjoyed my movie so did the little micee family under all the chairs. Spent all the money on front of house reno when the cinema chairs are very out of date the mice moving in shows the state of the inside
I have always had a pleasant experience at their Knox branch except this one time today, wherein I was told to keep it down or else I'd have to leave the Gold Class section on request of another customer, by the staff. Being told to keep my voice low was not the issue at all, as I understand that's not right, and I did it without realizing. But the second part, having to leave that was downright rude and unexpected manner to be treated as a customer especially when it was the first warning/instance. Upon speaking to the manager in this regard later, she did understand but also simultaneously tried to defend by saying that it had probably happened because they were trying to act up on the other customer's request. To that I'd like to say, what about some diplomacy while handling both customers at least in the form of first warning by simply highlighting my fault, and asking me to lower my voice and not insulting me by directly saying 'else I'd have to leave'? There is a basic form of diplomacy that needs to be met in a customer service platform such as a theatre. I was quite after that incident just like any sensible person would be and was super annoyed with the way it was handled. No hard feelings as such, but wanted to highlight this incident, so that proper steps are taken towards handling customer escalations.
We normally go to Doncaster but the times didn’t work. We did the gold class package with 5 choices from the menu. The food was nice but barely warm. We couldn’t choose several of the items as they weren’t available. (Maybe update your menu) and the men’s toilets were absolutely disgusting. Will go back to Doncaster in future.

Met with all expectations can do your shopping as your own . Many shops there according to your budget. Ample parking space which is awesome, can park without busy. This place is a modern place with Food court with fresh food, super markets and discount shops. Can spend hours there without knowing your self. Highly recommend.
Westfield Knox is a great shopping centre with a wide variety of stores, making it convenient for just about everything I need—from groceries and fashion to electronics and homewares. I especially like how spacious and clean the mall is, with plenty of seating areas to take a break while shopping. The recent renovations have made a big difference—it feels more modern and welcoming now. The food court has a good range of options, and there are nice cafés scattered throughout the centre if you want something quieter. Parking is generally easy to find, though it can get busy during peak times. Staff in the shops I’ve visited have mostly been friendly and helpful, and I enjoy the overall atmosphere. It’s a good place to do both quick errands and spend a relaxed day out.
Westfield Knox is a great shopping centre with a good variety of stores, nice cafés, and plenty of parking. It’s usually clean and well-maintained. Sometimes it gets a bit too crowded, especially on weekends, but overall it’s a convenient and enjoyable place to shop and spend time.
The best school holiday activity. Girls are just so into Frozen theme, The activity is well organised and well presented. Such an amazing activity. Activity time is just right. Not too long, so the team clear the queue very quick and kids still having enough time to enjoy frozen activity. Well done time. See you next time.
Flip out at Knox is great for kids if all ages and the staff are so friendly. I've taken two grandkids here so far and they've enjoyed it so much.
I’ve been coming here for around 4 to 5 years with my small pups in a pram, never had any issues before. The security guards would even pat them, and people always loved seeing them! But today, for the first time, I was told we couldn’t come in. I understand the place has been renovated and looks great, but please consider (unofficially or officially) allowing small pups inside again. It’s always been such a welcoming spot for us. 😭
Well done, Knox City Shopping Centre— you’ve officially turned a once vibrant shopping centre into a total dive. You said you listened to the community before renovating. I’m just wondering… which community was that exactly? Because it definitely wasn’t the Knox one. Everyone I’ve spoken to (and trust me, it’s a long list) is beyond disappointed. The “new and improved” Knox City seems to consist of endless sports centres, nail salons, and a sea of Asian restaurants. Oh, and let’s not forget the groundbreaking addition of Woolworths and Aldi because no other shopping centre has those, right? Meanwhile, all the decent clothing stores, shoe shops, and homeware retailers have mysteriously vanished. Somehow, when the centre was half the size, it had twice the variety. Now, if you actually want to shop for clothes or homewares, you’ll need to trek to other close by shopping centres. If this is what it means to “tailor the centre for the community,” you might want to double check who’s writing your feedback forms. Knox City Shopping Centre used to be a destination... now it’s just another stop for groceries and nail sessions.
Knox Shopping is an excellent shopping destination with a fantastic variety of stores to suit every need. The center is clean, spacious, and well-organized, making it easy to navigate. Staff across different stores are friendly and helpful, providing great customer service. There are plenty of dining options, from quick bites to sit-down restaurants, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and vibrant. Parking is convenient, and the facilities are well-maintained. I always enjoy visiting Knox Shopping and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a complete and enjoyable shopping

Excellent waking/biking trail that curves around Westfield Knox which is the section I’m most familiar with. Great to walk the dog also.
Really nice for an afternoon cycle. The path alternates between new and old paved sections. There's optional underpasses for road crossings (however there's still a couple of mandatory road crossings). A newly "built" wetlands area near Knox looks great, and will likely look even better in a year or so!
Nice, wide and well paved trail that takes you though some green areas and away from busy traffic. Appreciate the underpass that takes a major road crossing out of the picture. Links to other trails as well.
I love that this quality bike track has facilities like toilets, drinking taps, bike repair stations and more. Great to see some effort to increase cyclist safety.
It's a nice stroll to walk along to Knox and back.
They have started to maintain to area from weeds and rubbish from the football club and cricket club. And keeping the grass cut. Very happy with the progress looking forward to the upgrades being done from fairpark to Lewis Rd and beyond. Finally a council that is doing great things for the area. Please keep it dog friendly. Ps maybe don't cut the grass after it rains. Can cause alot of damage to the ground. Thank you.
Great shared-use trail to walk and relax.
Mostly good. few patches of tree root bumps.

Apart from a small hiccup on our first visit which was quickly rectified & understandable given the circumstances we Had a wonderful family day Sunday June 2022. We had a 10am Climb session; arrived early for breakfast at 9am. Unfortunately staffing circumstances the online menu is not the same as the current menu on offer which is more of grab & go; sandwiches, chips & fried food. Weve been advised that a new chef has been employed & that the menu will be amended. We settled for kids pancakes, toasted ham cheese Tomato sandwich and HCT croissant. We later ordered hot chips, banana breads (which we asked if it was toasted and had confirmed and then it came out slightly warm and not toasted at all) and drinks. Overall we spent about $100 on food and drink. Add in the cost of the climb and play it doesn’t work out to be the cheapest day out but our son thoroughly enjoyed himself. The facilities were pretty good, I didn’t use the bathrooms on this occasion but I did note that they are upstairs. I will have to pursue inquiries as to a disability bathroom as with mobility issues going up and downstairs would be very difficult. We have our sons birthday booked in September and a family party there next month. There are party rooms upstairs and downstairs but anyone with mobility issues might want to source the bathroom options. The venue was neat and tidy. The staff probably need to be a bit more attentive to assisting climbers as we noticed that a few of the less experience ones were left to their own devices why the two girls chatted. My husband ended up going in the Climbing area to observe our son and help. A friend had come with her daughter and she also had to go in and help her as the other two girls were more involved in the birthday party. I would say that young and inexperienced staff on a busy day may struggle and probably need a bit more training and organisation. There were a few parties when we went but not busy with general public. I think once people start to come as a family day out not just for parties that they may struggle. I think the concept is great and now that our son is older and has outgrown the traditional playcentres that this is the next level and still has a great mix of being able to run around and play in the interactive playground which also runs overhead of the tables offering parents a good view and supervision without having to be constantly up-and-down trying to find children. It is worth to note that the cars are $2 / two dollars per ride so you need to either bring coins or buy tokens from the front desk. They don’t go for a huge amount of time but long enough for the children to have a couple of full circles. I would’ve like a little bit more customer service and interest when organising my sons birthday in store and asking about options. We weren’t even offered to see the party rooms which I found odd. I was told someone will contact me closer to the date to discuss. I even tried discussing purchasing extra party platters for adults & kids and was handed the brochure and told to look through it. If they are wanting to upsell the staff need more training and common courtesy for customers who are actually wanting to purchase. It wasn’t as though it was busy we were the only people in the centre at the time I asked and there were four staff on. I had Shown the party booking confirmation so is it was not as though I was wasting their time we have a genuine booking. I have still given the venue five stars even though I think four stars would be more accurate currently but we had a great customer experience with the manager Wayne despite the rocky start and depending on how The birthdays go in august/ September I may change the rating if required but I don’t feel it necessary to penalise a business that is clearly dealing with staffing issues due to Covid and a fairly new business. Most issues can be rectified with more training, staff experience & understanding the expectations required of job roles. Would love to see a Climbing membership introduced for regular climbers.
Funtopia is a new play centre in Knox with a HUGE playground over 3 levels plus a large climbing area too. It suits kids from 2-13 comfortably. It also has a large cafe with good naughty and lighter options, coffee and more. Staff are friendly and accommodating here. On site toilets and large upstairs party rooms too. Great adventure for kids with good seated and dining area for parents to have good visibility of the kids while relaxing. Highly recommended
Fantastic, attentative and helpful staff. Facilities are pretty good, but of the hour allotted to our child climbing, she only started climbing half way through! Also a number of climbing activities weren't operating. Food is expensive... $35 for a pizza is waaay too much. And it was only OK, not great. I would have thought $20 Max. We asked for some wedges, no wedges, we asked for milkshakes, no ice cream. Also what the heck is with the anti-government propaganda mural?? Not the kind of stuff that is appropriate for a kids venue. Place is weird. Only real redeeming feature is the attitude of the staff.
Great playing space, but quite tight squeeze for adults to accompany kids (compare to all other play centre). Function room upstairs was very hot (and we went in winter. Hot air rises). The idea of tokens to electric car was great, but only one car was available, other were charging & out of battery. Overall, not bad for party, just needs some improvement.
I went on a school day with my 1 year old son. Very quite which was very nice. At one point we had the whole centre to ourselves for an hour. FOOD: Nice food but I think is a little over price. Kids meal was a good size. PLAY AREA: HUGE! It is awesome and different for other play centres I’ve been too. I do believe the baby/toddler area needs to be a little bigger and have a little more inside. However because I went on the big playground with my son he was able to enjoy the bigger play ground because I was able to help him with the bigger steps. KIDS UNDER 4: I believe if you have a child under 4 best to go on a school day when it’s not overloaded with kids, however with this centre you can’t really be a “lazy” parent. If your child gets bored of the toddler area be prepared you will have to get up and go play on the big play ground with them. $2 CARS BEST THING EVER, HOWEVER…I do believe they should have some kind of deal with the tokens. Like buy $6 worth of tokens get $2 worth free. My son loved being able to go on the cars and I love how I was able to go on the car with him.
Great facilities, climbing walls are fantastic! Our daughter had a great time and was exhausted by the end. The only disappointing thing about this venue is they have a "no parents rule" in the climbing area. This wouldn't be a problem if all the assistants actually helped the climbers. The harnesses are difficult for the smaller kids to clip on and off and they often require help from a staff member. There were multiple little kids standing around for the better part of the hour with their hands up waiting for help. One assistant was fantastic and was run off her feet trying to help all the little kids, while the other girl walked around oblivious to all the kids with their hands up. I just think if you're not going to allow parents in, then you really need all the climbing assistants to be doing their fair share of the work.
Booked some tickets for my child's birthday back in early December last year. Before booking I made sure I ring up to check if we could bring our own food as we wanted to cater for the adults too. The girl on the line said yes no problem. But when we rocked up on the day with cake and food, we were refused entrance for that. The supervisor didn't even want to take responsibility for the poor level of staff training. We couldn't even cut the cake there. On top of that, the wait staff didn't seem to know what they were doing with our guests' orders. Understand that young people need to learn but again that comes back to the centre's poor level of staff training. Nice and new facility - yes. Customer service - very very poor. Very inflexible and too commercial-focused, customer experience or customer service is probably not their business focus. Would not go back there nor recommend it, especially for events.
We hired the venue exclusively for a children's birthday party hosting around 50 people, and we cannot speak more highly of the service, the facilities or the staff. Our guests all raved about how fabulous the party was and how attentive the staff were. I know of 3 upcoming parties that are a result of impressed parents attending ours. Well Done Funtopia Knox...Our kids won't stop asking when they can come back!!

Fantastic 'slice of heaven' in suburbia for open space and nature lovers. Lots of paths and tracks, a walk around and back through shepherds Bush is around 1.5hrs. multiple parking locations, and it connects up to Jells Park (30-45 min walk in total, one way)
Great off leash destination for dogs and their humans. Plenty of parking, wooded and open spaces, A frame, hurdles, digging pit and more. Beautiful views, too. What's not to love?
The best off-lead dog park - love taking my dog here! during the weekdays, it’s quiet and peaceful. After 5pm, there’ll be more dogs, good for socialising. Water and agility play for dogs available, but no bins.
Had a great day at dinofest! Really lovely dino rangers, and the kids loved how realistic the dinosaurs were
This is a nice and convenient park to meet up with people and bring dogs. You can a take a walk, have a picnic or a barbecue, while your dogs enjoy off-leash time. Amenities include heaps of parking, a serviceable public toilet, drinking fountains for people and pooches, a barbecue, several picnic tables, and a dog playground area. There is lots of grass and shade under the pine trees. It’s close to Jells Park and you get some nice views towards Glen Waverley and Mulgrave. A few slight cons: the facilities are a bit tired, (but nothing appears to be broken); no undercover area (so no shelter from rain); no rubbish bins - signs clearly ask you to take your rubbish home. Unfortunately lots of people seem to think this does not apply to them. Make sure you take your doggy-doo/rubbish bags in and out! And BYO coffee etc - there is no cafe within walking distance. NB This park caters for people with fur-babies, not so much for human ones. Older kids who are confident and well-behaved around dogs will be fine. Just keep in mind that there is no children’s play equipment and there are always dogs of all sizes off-leash here.
Great park, people just need to stop being lazy and pick up their dog shits. Would be great if there were bins provided and if they could fix the old barbeque area that fell over and was removed.
Amazing dog park. Especially lovely at sunset where you can see the city skyline from the hill. Park has loads of space for dogs to run free. Lots of trees and interesting places to sniff. Even a sandpit for kids and dogs to play in. The park is mostly well maintained with short grass. Only problems are snakes in the long grass and a swamp in the middle which has stagnant water. Not good if pup likes to jump in there. Great place for people and dogs.
Great place for people exercising their dogs, fantastic views of the City on the horizon, plenty of walk ways in the bush and along the rivers, park your car here, take a stroll to Jells Park, around the lake and back, all in just 7.7 km.

Love it here. Nice, easy walk for kids with lots to look at. Great for kids and dogs on lead (in most parts). Joins up with off - lead dog park (Norton's park). This was after a lot of rain - couldn't get through on one path. Shaded and lots of birds to watch and hear.
Beautiful woodlands but dogs are not allowed in some areas and visitors do need to be aware of that. There are signs. Gorgeous area to walk around, beautiful birdlife to enjoy.
Tranquil bushland where the Dandenong creek cuts a deep gully meandering through. Trail can be done as an extension ofJells Park or from Norton's Park which has car parking. Walking trails in here are flat but winds upwards along the creek toward High St Rd. Not too sure if dogs on leash are allowed. You do not hear the noise of traffic but of shrieking cockatoos & other birdlife. There's a frog habitat along the baseball park. Access via Jells Park, Norton's Park or via Dandenong Creek trail at High St Rd. Part of trail is closed due to damage & is cordoned off but ppl seem to ignore this. You can still do a circuit walk & bypass the closure which is what we did.
Diverse trails to various locations..great Winter Walks!
Beautiful location for a walk. Lots of nature in the middle of the suburbs.
Lovely spot to ride my bike. Easy flat bike path - good for kids
Interesting walking experience and being not quite what I expected. It's mainly a single track adventure with bush and water crowding you in. Quiet a few varieties of bird calls around. The track is reinforced with board and brick and quite secure but there are dirt parts as well, not the place you would appreciate getting caught in the rain as very nearly happened to me.
Lovely paths which take you on a journey to view wildlife. Meeting others along the way exchanging their adventures enriches the walk. Lovely at sunset.

A brilliant walk to take your dog on leash. There's several pathways, but for the most part it's a linear walk from one side to the other. The only challenge are cyclists going past quite fast, but very voidable if you're paying attention. There are some very snake-prone areas so be particularly cautious when taking your dog with you.
Nice park. Good walk on the back trail. Not.long but it's OK. The main path has too many bloody bikers going down too fast. Stupidity to the Max. Not well equipped, can't find any bins. One water tap o found next to car park
Lovely place to walk, love the different trails and the various terrains! Quite busy with cyclists, so be aware of that, but off the main track, there’s plenty to explore. A good way to get out and spend some time with nature.
Link to the Dandenong creek trail. A great running, walking trail that stretches a long distance. Asphalt paving with slight elevation throughout. Beautiful throughout the day, also a great place for bird watching.
A very calm & quiet place for a walk. Better to keep walking until you see the water stream. Because that's the area where you see the real beauty of this park.
Needs police out here. One guy rode a little motocross bike at around 50-60 km/h inside, potentially causing fatal injuries to an unsuspecting bystander. We also saw someone with a full on camp setup with solar panels out. Clearly this place isn't looked after.
Decent running track!! Hot in summer with minimal shade. Love seeing kangaroos or weed eating goats. Beware or bikers and occasional 🐍...
I like the quiet trails leading to Dandenong Creek. Other than that, the northern section of this park is primarily for cyclists racing on the single bike path, and pedestrians just have to carefully walk along the edge to avoid collision. The overhead power lines do not add much to the scenery.

Nice walking track with lots of birds, ducks & trees.
The actual reserve is only the wooded area, but popularity has named the whole area including the ovals. To the west is a fenced off conservation area that contains an old billabong, not that it has a lot of water these days. To the east at the back of the ovals woodland persists. There are a few little trails through the woods but it can be quite dense. While here look out for the sugar gliders, one of the remaining habits for them. To the north is the Dandenong Trail and then Dandenong creek.
It was much better than last year, fully grasses, no more ponds, still can be better.
Ringwood City soccer club (2nd Ground). Ground has improved a lot over the years. New club rooms. Plenty of parking
Always nice to take a walk, took my German exchange student here and he loved it.
As long as there's no games on, you can ride your bike down to the ovals and throw Frisbees with friends
Good ovals , good place to walk dogs . Needs public toilets !!
The reserve is tranquil and relaxed. Hidden away down back streets and connected to the Dandenong Creek Trail.

Just off to the side of part of the Dandenong creek trail, it is a nice little piece of bush separate from the hustle and bustle of the shared bike/walking track.
Nestled between the rolling greens of a golf course lies a hidden gem of a wetlands area, teeming with local wildlife. This picturesque setting offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, and a chance to connect with nature, although I must admit at times you can hear the vehicles on the Eastern Freeway that now cuts through there!. As you stroll along the winding paths, you'll be serenaded by the cheerful songs of crimson rosellas and rainbow lorikeets, who flit from tree to tree in a kaleidoscope of colours. If you're lucky, you might even spot a king parrot perched high up in the branches, its vibrant red and green plumage standing out against the blue sky. But the real stars of the show are the ducks, who paddle lazily in the waters of the wetlands. With their sleek feathers and comical waddles, they never fail to bring a smile to your face. You might even catch sight of a family of ducklings, following their mother in a neat line as they explore their watery home. As you take in the sights and sounds of this idyllic setting, it's easy to forget that you're just a stone's throw from the golf course. The wetlands area can be a peaceful oasis, offering a respite from your normal busy day activities. So why not take a break from the golf course and spend some time in this charming wetlands area? You're sure to leave feeling refreshed and renewed, with a newfound appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds you in this area, which I would say is perfect for locals. However, if travelling, I wouldn't be going out of my way to visit when you could find other beautiful spots that haven't got a freeway going through it.
Nice walk, joins a great wide path that seems to go on for miles. No toilets or off-street parking
This part of the wetlands is a much more appealing place to take a look at. It's in-between the golf course and housing area and despite that it's very well preserved, with lots of plant and bird life as well.
Lovely peaceful environment for walking or bike riding. Area is being reinstated as a wet land, so work in progress. But enjoyed the visit there.
Good for a stroll around for a look. Backs onto the Dandenong Creek pathway which links up to other parks and wetlands. Looks fairly new so may be a work in progess or waiting on nature to develop. Would not make a special visit but if your close by.....
A hidden gem - a thriving habitat for native flora and fauna along Dandenong Creek
Great place to walk and perfect for dogs

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the most amazing experience with party host Jas for our daughter’s 10th birthday! 🎉 From start to finish, she was absolutely fantastic - full of energy, engaging and so wonderful with the kids. Jas didn’t just host the party, she joined in on the fun, playing games and keeping everyone laughing. Our daughter and her friends had the best time!
We held our son’s 9th birthday party at Time Zone for the first time! The staff—especially Ashlee and the manager—were amazing, humble, and attentive, meeting all our requests one by one. With her clear, bright voice, Ashlee organized and looked after the kids wonderfully! The children ate well, played happily, and the parents were all able to relax. Highly recommended!
We recently celebrated my son’s 13th birthday party with Georgia as our host, and she did an absolutely fantastic job! From start to finish, Georgia was cheerful, helpful, and incredibly responsive. On the day of the party, everything ran smoothly thanks to her organization and upbeat energy. Even when a few small accidents happened (as they often do at kids’ parties!), Georgia handled them calmly and professionally, ensuring the fun never stopped. The kids had an amazing time, and my son said it was one of his best birthdays ever! We’re so grateful for Georgia’s effort and enthusiasm — she truly went above and beyond to make the day special. Highly recommended!
Holding my child's birthday party at Timezone was a wise decision. Led by a staff member (Angie), the entire 2.5-hour event featured games, gifts, and a supply of chicken, fries, and drinks. A special thank you to Angie for her constant presence and engaging interactions with the children, including engaging them with activities, providing detailed explanations, and even a fun quiz with prizes. It was a truly enjoyable party experience, a worry-free experience for the parents and a delight for the children.
Reza did an awesome job with our kids birthday party at Knox Timezone. Had a whole heap of patience and really got the kids pumped for all the fun. Highly recommend having your party at Knox Timezone, the newly renovated area is excellent.
We held a party for my son at Timezone Knox and Charlotte, our party host, was absolutely outstanding. She was fantastic at keeping the party engaging, on schedule and fun. She was also wonderful at engaging our youngest party goers, along with our older ones. The whole experience was very stress-free due to Charlotte’s approach, organisation and kindness. My son and his friends had an absolute blast! Thank you, Charlotte!!
Heaps of games and activities. Prizes too! Laser tag, ten pin bowling, darts, and games. Located on the upper floor of Knox Westfield. Had a floor tile game I've never seen before that looked loads of fun. Heaps of people and can be noisy with sometimes a small waiting time for some games.
We had a birthday party at time zone Knox and our host was Cooper he was great. Cooper was really engaging with the kids and was a great communicator with me I appreciated all the help he provided. The venue and party room was great really clean and private. All the games worked properly and were in great condition. We also did laser tag which the kids absolutely loved wish the laser tag went a little longer is my only complaint. They were nice enough to let me go along in the laser tag room with my 4 year old so he didn’t miss out . Would definitely recommend a child birthday here.

Highly recommend when I arrived the staff were lovely and very welcoming. During my massage I felt so relaxed and almost fell asleep. When I left I felt so rejuvenated and happy definitely will book again soon
Perfect place for relaxation. Had a rejuvenate package done with foot scrub, full body scrub, followed by full body massage and facial massage done by lovely Georgia. Very professional and friendly, will definitely go back to try other package!
Had a pregnancy massage done today by Janis, she was absolutely amazing! She was so lovely and caring, she really made me feel so comfortable. You can definitely tell she's full of experience, it made me feel so relaxed and very trusting in her work without feeling like I was going to walk out with damage. I will definately be back again!
Amazing zen experience - calm, clean, serene - everything I had hoped for :) Sanja, who looked after me, was wonderful - would do this more often!
All the therapists are wonderful, the environment is calm and serene and they always welcome you back. I had a 60 minute remedial massage with *name forgotten, I’m sorry lovely lady!*, and she assessed my concerns, worked on problem areas and reassessed when finished. I left relaxed, loosened up and feeling calm. Big props to Endota for their amazing customer service too!
Posted on behalf of my mother Today (30/4/25) I had a treatment at Endota Spa located at Knox City Shopping Centre which was amazing however my experience with the customer service staff was less than helpful. Over 3 occasions I tried to book the special on offer I was informed no mid morning or afternoon appointments were available (Easter, school holidays, Anzac Day). My last try was on Monday (28/4/25) as I had a gift voucher valued at $250. I was given an appointment for today (30//25) at 12:30 for the offer of a relax massage and facial (cost $204 for 90 minutes less 20% for a mid week visit). On arrival I handed over my gift voucher and was looked after by Kim, who was amazing. When I left I expected a voucher for the the remaining amount only to be told the treatment cost $255 and that I owed $5! It was said this was what I had booked in for and that the system would not allow a $5 reduction. I was dumbfounded. As the girl was very young and not sure what to do and that the senior staff were in a meeting I paid the $5 and left immediately feeling the stress that had just been released. On returning home and checking my emails I found an email from you asking for a google review - really! I’m feeling disappointed and annoyed My sons are always at a loss of what to get me for Mother’s Day and birthdays and my answer is usually a gift voucher from Endota Spa is always appreciated. No more! You have lost a me! Do you really want a google review?
The team at Endota Knox were great - warmly welcomed & such a relaxing space. Stephanie was fantastic - so sweet, accommodating & made sure I was comfortable for the whole treatment. I left feeling so relaxed and already looking forward to my next visit!
Another wonderful and relaxing experience at the Knox Endota spa, the staff are so kind and welcoming. My therapist made the experience so peaceful and comfortable. I feel like I’m on cloud 9 every time I leave and my body feels so relaxed and rejuvenated for days after. Very happy and highly recommend 🙏🏼

Boronia View Club ladies have just had a lovely morning at the Australian Jazz Museum with a guided tour from very passionate and knowledgeable volunteers. Followed by a great Jazz concert and lunch. Thank you everyone involved it was an amazing experience. Denise Semken
A wonderful place to dive into old archives. Super friendly volunteers run this treasury of musical history. I dropped by there on their one day a week open to the public to buy a CD and got a grand tour. Impromptu jam session happening with some musicians whole I was there was super. It's really worth taking the trouble to visit this hidden gem. They are keen for more volunteers to help with managing the archives and being general dogs bodies as well.
I am some one that didn't know anything about Australian Jazz! Until I visited this Museum Open 10.00 am to 3.00pm Tuesdays Only. Volunteers are are very Knowledgeable. Came away with cd of Members Colections Enjoyed playing that! 😀
Tuesday 30th May , my wife and I had a brilliant day attending ,great tour and information ,great musicians and singer and finished off with food and coffee. Thoroughly recommend people do a tour .
I enjoyed the experience of going there. Lovely seeing all the people with their own jobs to do. All seem happy with what they are doing. Lovely jazz music playing. It was very enjoyable. Best wishes Jill 🎼🎵🎧🥁🎺📯🎼🎶
Amazing to see the Australian Jazz history Great getting a guided tour
Always lovely to catch up with the Under 25's and their wonderful dedicated volunteer mentors, teachers and support personnel.

We had our son’s fifth birthday party here—a baking party—and it was absolutely perfect. The Play Center is clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly quiet, which made for a stress-free experience. Everything was provided, and the whole event ran so smoothly. The kids had an absolute blast, and all the parents commented on what a great time they had. Highly recommend for a fun and hassle-free birthday celebration!
My daughter had her baking bday party at Crocs, Knoxfield recently. The centre is neat, clean and spacious! The staff were very helpful and flexible to suit our needs. The food was fresh and yummy (compared to other crocs and other playcentres that we have been to). Mr.Crocs hunt and entry was the highlight!!!! Kids absolutely loved this activity. I wish they promoted it better. Overall it’s a great place to organise a party. My daughter and her friends had a great time here!!
Recently my daughter celebrated her 4th birthday in the princess room. I absolutely liked the whole place, it is clean and well maintained. They are generous to both kids and adult foods. And top of that the kids were happy and the event was smooth and stress free. I highly recommend this place.
We had our son’s birthday party organised at Crocs Playcentre. It was great experience and kids really had lots of fun. Staff and host were so helpful throughout the party and made it stress free for us. Kids food and adult platter was also nice. Highly recommending this venue for party or play fun. 😊
I had once given this centre a 5 star review but sadly, it has gone downhill very quickly and severely since then. It is in DIRE need of maintenance and refurbishment. The trampoline, which was awesome has been removed and is now an empty space There are various sections where the padding is coming off the metal bars and are held together with string and cable ties (pictured) There are cable ties EVERYWHERE which defy the point of soft padding. Parents wedge the saftey gate open in the toddler area so their older kids can come and go freely… this has never been stopped my staff. There are dangerous areas ie: between the slide and ramp in the toddler are where babies can slip through. This has happened to by child. There are so many patches and holes, it’s just grubby and gross. I’m so sad it’s gone downhill like this.
We recently had our son’s birthday party at Crocs Playcentre Knoxfield and it was a great experience! The kids had an awesome time, and the adult food platters were surprisingly good—really tasty and generous in portion size. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Would definitely recommend for a fun, stress-free party venue!
We recently celebrated my son's 7th birthday at Crocs Knoxfield, and it was a fantastic experience! The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was well-organised. Such a stress free party .The kids had an amazing time. Thank you for making his special day so memorable. Highly recommend for kids' parties!
We had our daughter’s 6th birthday party in the princess room. The booking process and the level of communication was easy and clear. The food was great, adult platters were generous, the play equipment is great the kids loved it. We were quite impressed with the cleanliness - much cleaner than other playcenters. We highly recommend Knoxfield crocs Playcentre.
