Great place to spend a good summer day. Nice market and good stuff. The cafes and food trucks are good too. Outdoor area is ideal for picnic and a lot of things to keep the kids occupied. The BBQ areas are clean and the gazebos can be booked for private parties.
This place is fabulous!! In the Market you can have varieties of things to buy. You can spend nearly two hours with your children as there are always fun things to do. I like the cafeteria. Specially clean toilets!! My kids love this place.
A nice park with lots of stalls and rides for kids. Most of the rides are Cash-Only so do bring cash as the ATM onsite charges fees. Lots of great food and knick knacks in the market area.
It's a place has everything including pony riding, chairlifts, boat, BBQ facilities, market, café and free parking but small amount of entry fee on weekend. Good for family gathering and who is looking to spend a whole day and has some fun in one place. However most facilities cost different prices except the playground and the market is boring.
Nice markets, loads of stalls of everything and it's a big walk to get around it all. There are always a lot of interesting characters there with their merchandise. Too much of the gear is just cheap knockoffs though.
Not as good as it used to be but maybe just because I went on a Wednesday. Still good selection of fruit, street food, phone accessories, jewellery and souvenirs. Also on Sunday has a train, chairlift and some rides for the kids
A large market with lots of stalls. The prices of the products and services at the market where not cheap. The food at the food court is over priced. The market is in a greenery area which makes it a great place to have a picnic. Entrance at the door is $2.50 and parking is hard to find.
Great place for family. Good playground and good market. Queen Victoria Market sells kind of soviniers but here is for local items.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Chesterfield Farm, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped onto the property, I was captivated by the charm and warmth that this farm exudes. The first thing that struck me was the picturesque setting. Chesterfield Farm boasts sprawling green fields, charming barns, and a peaceful atmosphere that transports you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's the perfect escape for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and enjoy a tranquil day in the countryside. The variety of activities available at Chesterfield Farm is impressive. Whether you're interested in petting adorable farm animals, taking a scenic hayride, or trying your hand at traditional farm chores, there's something for everyone. The staff is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about their work, creating an engaging and educational experience for visitors of all ages. One highlight of my visit was the interactive demonstrations. From milking cows to shearing sheep, the hands-on activities allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of farm life. It's clear that Chesterfield Farm is committed to preserving agricultural traditions and sharing them with the community. The on-site cafe is another gem at Chesterfield Farm. The farm-to-table concept ensures that the food is not only delicious but also sourced locally, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the overall experience. I highly recommend trying the fresh produce and homemade treats—they're a true delight for the taste buds. The attention to detail and commitment to providing a top-notch visitor experience make Chesterfield Farm stand out. Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or even on your own, this charming farm offers a welcoming and memorable day out. I left Chesterfield Farm with a renewed appreciation for agriculture and a heart full of wonderful memories. I can't wait to return and explore more of what this fantastic farm has to offer. Highly recommended!
This is a great place to enjoy farm life and to take the family to experience rural farm life, open to the public 7 days a week. Entry fees apply at Farm and concession and family tickets are available. Watch working dogs, milking and sheep shearing demonstrations in the all-weather show barn. Coffee was great. Open at 10 am till 3 pm
𝗖𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺🐮🐷🐰 Family day out on the farm.... My kids love this place.... A great family day with lots of animals to see, interact with, feed and fun activities to have. The kids always look forward to coming back. #highlyrecomemded
I recently visited Chesterfield Farm with my family and had a wonderful time. The farm was well-maintained and had a wide variety of animals that we were able to see up close. The staff was friendly and informative, providing us with interesting facts about the animals and answering all of our questions. The farm also had a playground and a picnic area, which was great for the kids. They also had a small shop where we were able to buy fresh eggs and other products from the farm. The highlight of our visit was the animal feeding time. We got to feed the sheep, cows, alpacas and other animals which was really fun. Overall, we had a great experience at Chesterfield Farm. It's a perfect place for families with young children to visit and learn about farm life. I highly recommend this farm to anyone looking for a fun, educational day out.
Amazingly quite fun for the kids in the chilly weather. We were late for our tractor ride due to unexpected congestions but they kindly allowed us to ride on later. Able to purchase the feed at 5aud and was gone immediately at the ostrich’s. There were horse, ponies, donkey, goats, sheep, alpaca, lizard, cows, kangaroos, deers, pigs outside in the farm. They have a nursery too, which does not allow feeding, includes birds, parrots, mice, smaller animals like bunnies , Guinea pigs, chicks. The milking session and sheepdog performance were quite informative too. Delicious food and coffee!! Overall enjoyable farm with the kids.
Wow. This should be the blocks next project. 11-30 am ni food left There is no shade The picnic tables are terribly old and warped No playground to entertain kids Awful looking gloomy place that need an upgrade Yeah it’s a farm but …would never go back Last time was 30 years ago and it’s the same With the money you charge I’m sure it can be fixed up. Your better of going to animal rescue farms.
Two of us came to Chesterfield Farm on a Saturday. We arrived at around midday. We had pre-purchased the tickets as advised on their website, so the check-in process was very efficient. First, we went to pet the small farm animals including lambs, rabbits, Guinea pigs, calf and dogs. Unfortunately you are not allowed to feed or pick up these animals, but you can still look at them and pat them. After that, we watched the sheepdog demonstration at 1pm where they showed the dog rounding up sheep. That was really interesting, as I’d only ever seen this on TV. Then we toured the rest of Chesterfield Farm, and got to see various farm animals including ostriches, camels, kangaroos, fellow deer, red deer, ducks, pigs, peacocks, goats and more. As we walked through this section of the farm, we hand-fed the animals with the animal feed purchased at the front entrance. We had a very fun time, and I would highly recommend visiting this farm. It is suitable for all ages. I am a young adult and I loved it. But I think kids will love it just as much!
A nice place to spend time with your family. If you need to enjoy all the activities then follow this plan Enter by 11. At 11:30 you can see the cow milking activity. At 12:15 take tractor ride Then have lunch and go through the feed trail. At 1 pm sheep doh demo. Awesome interactions with all animals. Kids will enjoy for sure

Have not visited since I was a teenager, was like walking through a time capsule, the interior is pretty much the same as I remember it being. Great venue for lovers of skating or a birthday party. Good price point too for some fun that will surely wear you out.
Caribbean Rollerama is great place for skates The floors and obstacles are well-maintained, and the lighting is great—no dim corners or blind spots. I really appreciated how clean the place was, with plenty of seating for breaks and a small viewing area for friends or family to watch. Staff were super friendly and helpful, offering tips and making sure everyone followed safety rules without being overbearing. Skates were available for hire, so you can show up and skate even if you don’t have all your gear. Bonus points for the good music playing in the background and the little café where you can grab a snack or drink between sessions. Also staff make participants play games during session with small reward for winner make it interesting Overall, it’s a fun, safe, and welcoming place to skate regardless of the weather outside. Highly recommend it for solo sessions, group hangs, or even birthday parties
I used to take my boys here and it's been years, but the place is still amazing. My grandaughter attended a birthday party there and she absolutely loves this place. The music just bought back so many memories.
It's a very cool place. Tips: - if you want a table you will need to get there early and line up. - for evening events, prebook tickets. You get in far quicker as they have 2 lines. - prebooked tickets walk in on the right, on the night on the left - there is very very very limited food options and they aren't great and expensive like everything these days.. The Rollerblades are Aweful, like the worst my family and I have worn at any place.. They do let more experienced people skate separated for bits. But they aren't very good at telling people clearly who can skate and when. We have been here for a few birthday parties which are really cool and the kids love it. It's very beginner friendly, big enough for ppl to hold on the edge and others to keep skating. I highly encourage people to bring drink bottles of water as again $4.50 for water 🙄 But it's a great place to go with friends or family any ages.. There are always people just beginning and experience.
It literally is exactly the same as it was in the 80’s when I was growing up. It’s like stepping into a Time Machine. The manager was present and active, the team were very polite and experienced and the cafe was also great. There is plenty of seating (the same seats as the 80s) and the amenities (toilets) were very well presented and clean. We enjoyed the experience. The only small criticisms I have are as follows. The step at the front is too high and my elderly father-in-law found it difficult to step down. Secondly, even though I love the original tables, we felt that it could be a little more comfortable if there was provision for better seating for the elderly and people with a disability. The seating is fixed. It could be improved but well done overall.
Been there many times but first time met rude woman push my daughter on the ground on purpose. And won’t even look back. I have video on my phone. The management shall do something to make this place more friendly for the local community!!
Great place, maintained perfectly to keep the nostalgia of the past but to also be relevant in today's world. Always a fun and amazing time when you go here! For mechanically minded out there be sure to check out the old gen set around the side car park!
My sister and I always visit and skate at least once or twice a month. The staff are friendly, the rates are good. Definitely buy the tickets online because you’re gonna spend a good 5-10 minutes in line buying them. Plus you can save a dollar each ticket if you buy them online. The food is too pricey for me and haven’t tried their rentals as we bring our own. Saturday is the busiest day too, so keep that in mind. Don’t forget to bring your protective gear!

Been driving past this place for years, it’s not every day you notice a tram out this far. Finally went this year for steam fest. If engineering is your thing this is definitely your place to be, my old man loved it! Also $4 for a miniature train ride. Volunteers were lovely and very informative and up for a yarn.
Nice little enthusiast’s museum full of working and non working stuff, plus things which look like they’ve been in people’s sheds for years! The train ride was good for the children. We went on the day things were running which I think helped the place be more interesting. One minus point is that there should have been food available as we went on one of the end of month demonstration days but this wasn’t the case for some reason.
My little one loves here. It’s so interesting to see so many old engines running(they only run on the last Sunday each month). Sitting on the mini steam train is another highlight. The people working here are enthusiastic about their work and keen to pass the knowledge to others.
Only once a year do they hold this awsome classic bike show. Lots to look at with food vans, competition with prizes for certain categories, great day out
This is an amazing place with a bunch of old traction engines. This place is a volunteer operated place that relies on gold coin donations to keep on operating. There are many different old traction engines on display, and the best time to go this place is in march, on the labour day long weekend, when the 'steamfest' is on, where all of the traction engines have a grand parade and start moving around the arena. And there are also miniature train and tractor rides here too! Which both are amazing and take you around the place. There is also a giant crane in the middle of the arena that you can go inside of and look around at. There are also many different sheds that have steam engines and diesel engines inside, as well as a tug engine from an old tugboat. And it can get quite hot inside the sheds, especially on a hot summer day. And there is also a shed that has a garden gauge model railway, featuring characters from 'thomas and friends'. There are also various vintage cars here too! And some of them go back decades ago. As well as feature a few old tanks here too! And also old tractors as well! And it's all right next to a lake. There is also a giant dirt field where there are a bunch of construction vehicles too! And there are a lot of antique machineries by 'caterpillar' who are celebrating 100 years this year (2025), so that's cool. There was also live bands playing there and food trucks as well. There was also an old tram here which you can go inside of and sit down in. So yeah, this place is a haven for anyone who's an enthusiast of old traction engines and more. Also a great place to bring the kids to, with the miniature train and tractor rides. I highly recommend going to this place in march during the labour day long weekend. Would definitely go back again!
I wish I could give 6 stars! This place is such a gem. From the get go, Chris was amazing to liase with in teeing up a date for our group to visit. So much generosity and information was provided. The museum itself is INCREDIBLE. There are hundreds of engines (if not thousands) to see. All unique and fascinating. The demos are super interesting and entertaining. Bill M showed us around and explained everything and we are so grateful. The people volunteering there have a wealth of knowledge and charm. It is such a fantastic place. Would recommend it to anyone! Especially men’s groups in aged care etc. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
A really great place to enjoy with the family! 🚂 The train ride is only $4 per person, which makes it fun and affordable. It’s also a wonderful spot to learn about the history of old steam engines and machines. Highly recommend visiting!
Great place just off Eastlink to wonder around look at all things engines. Yes, it has the feel that it’s the extension of an old man’s backyard or shed full of machinery and has been told by the better half to get rid of it or she’s moving out. That is what gives the place its charm. Plenty of history visible and many willing to share its history.

Nice courts. Clubhouse has everything you need. Super easy to book in and access via a code. Great location.
A whole host of hard court surfaces at this venue and also entoutcas. I would much prefer to see more synthetic grass surfaces than entoutcas, but at least the entoutcas surface had a correct bounce for a change, which is very rare! 👍

Apparently I recently experienced severe back pain and tried various medications, but none provided relief. Then I visited scorsbey Thai, where Miss Poen worked wonders with her magical hands. Thanks to her exceptional skills as a massage therapist, I am now pain-free and able to work again. I am incredibly grateful for her great work and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Miss Poen
A very terrible experience, yesterday 02/02 Sunday afternoon 6:10 pm , i went to this Scoresby Thai Massage shop, I pay $75 cash for 60mins massage, before I want to this shop more time all good service and massage, yesterday a Thai lady for my massage in right hand frist room , the lady In the process of stepping on my back, she actually stepped on mine so hard that it hurt. Then I felt the pressure of my left rib and the massage bed. I felt that my ribs were about to break. Then I barely persisted until the end of 7:10 pm. The next day, I felt that my ribs felt very painful when I breathed. I didn't know what was wrong with my ribs yet. I also had to see a doctor. It was a terrible experience.
I have never once regretted coming here. I’ve always thought the service was great and the staff were kind. But today, my Valentine’s Day was ruined. My husband booked me a massage as a Valentine’s gift. When I arrived, a woman named Nikki came in to do the massage. I told her that I had an injury on my right foot and asked her not to massage it. She completely ignored me and started the massage anyway. Then, she got on her knees on my back and began bouncing aggressively. I know this is a Thai massage technique, but she was deliberately rough. I asked her to go softer, but she brushed it off, saying, ‘Your back is bad, that’s why it hurts,’ and continued. I started struggling to breathe and took a deep breath—then suddenly, she mimicked my breathing in a mocking way and rudely asked, ‘Why are you doing that?’ I was so shocked by her behavior that I didn’t even know how to respond. She hadn’t even seen my face because I was lying down when she walked in. What did I do to make her so angry at me? From the start, she spoke to me with frustration and attitude, ignoring everything I said. I asked her again to go softer and eventually requested to speak to the manager because of her rude behavior. She then snapped, ‘You want someone else?’ and stormed out. A little while later, she came back and said, ‘There’s no one else available right now. You can take it or leave it,’ with a terrible attitude. Eventually, another person came in and finished the massage, but by then, the experience was completely ruined. I came in expecting a relaxing massage but left feeling stressed and upset. Avoid Nikki at all costs. She is the worst—rude, unprofessional, and completely disrespectful. Other staff members apologised to me when I left, but she kept glaring at me, tilting her head mockingly, and never once said sorry. If the owner of this massage shop sees this, you should seriously consider firing her. People’s true nature doesn’t change easily I couldn’t even understand what language she was speaking. She didn’t seem to understand English either. And yet, she got angry at me instead. What a fool…
Good massage. Only thing was the sore spots I had were sore again a couple of days later. Otherwise my muscles felt better after being here!
Been there a few times now. Good relaxing experience with my back and legs… Poen is one of their best, and would highly recommend asking for her!
Half hearted massage. Booked in for 1 hour and she only did 50 minutes.the last 10 minutes of the 50 was abysmal just killing time plus going in and out getting water and towel. Used to be good but not going back again. The thai girls who were there last year were good but the new staff are not so good. Not recommended.
Went yesterday and the massage therapists was extremely understanding of all the points where aches and pains occur with regards to periformis and neck/shoulder pain.woke up this morning after a long time with no pain and actually had a good sleep. Very professional and caring staff.
I really love this place, each time I've been in I've had a great experience, the staff are lovely and even though I'm uncomfortable with massages, the staff always make me feel comfortable. Unfortunately my partner today didn't have the same experience. He came out almost unable to drive home, he has bruises and marks on his body and he might not be able to work tomorrow. He asked the masseuse multiple times to use less force, she mostly used her elbows. I think you should definitely still give this place a go but if you encounter the same masusse as my partner and she hurts you, get up and say something.
