    Ticketing was easy to follow and information and maps for the three activities were good. The staff at all three were really helpful, pleasant and made the experiences fun. It was fun getting close to the animals at Churchill Island and the highlight was milking the cow. Walking around the koala reserve and again getting to see them up close was special. The highlight of the afternoon was the penguin parade, particularly getting to see them as they went to their burrows, from the boardwalk. We all agreed that we had a great day. We self drove.

    I loved everything about the experience. So much so that I went back the 3 nights I was there. The staff were so helpful friendly and knowledgeable. I did a guided tour the first night and learnt so much, second night I did the underground viewing which was also great and the third night i upgraded my seating to penguin plus which was fantastic. The restaurant was also great I had the best fish n chips I've had in a long time. The only thing that needs better monitoring is the use of phone photography and video as I saw soooo many people taking photos and videos after sunset when it's not allowed.

    IceBar Melbourne Review IceBar Melbourne is a unique and fun experience, especially if you’ve never been to an ice bar before. The atmosphere is definitely cool—literally—since everything inside is made of ice, from the walls to the sculptures and even the drinking glasses. They provide warm jackets, gloves, and boots if needed, so you don’t have to worry about the cold too much. The drinks are well-made, and the novelty of sipping cocktails in a -10°C environment is pretty exciting. The staff is friendly and ensures you have a good time. However, one downside is that they don’t allow guests to take videos inside the bar, which was a bit disappointing. You can take photos, but if you were hoping to capture the experience on video, that’s not an option. Overall, it’s a fun place to visit at least once, especially with friends or for a unique date night. Just be prepared for the no-video policy and enjoy the icy vibes!

    Despite the reconstruction work taking place at the time I found that access to most of what I wanted to see and experience was retained. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. I would venture one suggestion : keep the different age sectors in mind when booking tickers, not everyone is tech savvy.
