For performers there's big backstage area. The cafeteria also sells wine, beer, cider, coffee and if you are hungry they have pre packed food like sandwiches, sushi, cakes and soup. The stage is a big one and there's also seatings upstairs if there's a big crowd. Easy to find and quite convenient if you live on this side of town. There's also restaurants about 6 minute walks if needed

Highly recommend it!

Not being familiar, we found it a bit hard to find but once we found out it was on Level 3 next to all the cinemas and games, we were set! The play centre is well laid out with a separate area for toddlers so they don't get knocked over by the older kids and there is an awesome foam ball room with canons and vacuums that suck up the balls to different sections ready to launch. There's even an awesome pirate ship ride inside the venue! On first impression the centre is clean and well maintained and the staff were very attentive especially amongst all the birthday excitement. The staff were loud and clear when giving instructions and made sure all the kids had drinks topped up and birthday cake. Both the kids and adults were fed with sandwiches, fruits and hot food and you if you're after something a little more special you can also order some desserts from the window display. I think we've found another new place to catch up with our mummy friends! :)

We had our app submission party on Adventure Sails' new boat Verve a couple of weeks ago. My…read morebusiness partner picked the boat, the menu and the setting; to say I was apprehensive would be an understatement. We're not known for, or experienced at, throwing extravagant events, so the challenge of submitting an iOS app, giving a speech and entertaining a group of VIPs was a daunting prospect for us. Needless to say, I had an overwhelming sense of trepidation when the time came to jump on the boat (some would call it fear, stage freight or anxiety but those sound like Maddison Ave. words). There needn't have been, from the moment we jumped on board Jenni took over, making sure that our guests were all catered to and that everyone was always having fun. Noticing that one of our guests had a proclivity to get over excited about large boats, they would make sure that we were aware when one was coming along side. Not once was a drink empty, not once was there a lack of food and not once was anyone seasick (including me, which is quite miraculous). Darren, the rather charming skipper, even set the trip up so that when it was time for us to put teaspoon to champagne flute we were on calm seas with the sunset on our back, making for the most remarkable speech I have ever given in my life and putting the cherry on top of a miraculous evening. Since then every single one of our guests has commented on how it was the most amazing event they've been to, which makes my business partner and I beam with pride every time. Thank you to Jenni and the team at Adventure Sails. If you're after a no-nonsense corporate charter for an event or just a team outing, this is probably the best option in the Melbourne market.

I ended up booking on their behalf.As my mum isn't computer savvy she sent me a letter explaining the trip and apologising for not having a good time and expressing her disappointment. People who didint drink alcohol had to pay for water. A stubby of beer was $7.00! Jenni welcomed everybody on board and then layed in the cabin reading the paper.They were told to go sparingly with the nibbles which was the size of a muffin tray between 20-30 people, these weren't topped up at all. The boat sailed to Williamstown and then sailed in circles for 40 minutes as it was deemed too rough. My dad has been on boats most of his life and it most certainly was not rough. People even saw the disposable glasses being rinsed out and dried for the next group. Let's hope visitors to Melbourne dont think that all tour operators are to this standard. I was actually thinking of organising our corporate event with them but I will not even consider it now. Stay away. Julie W

Our guide, Fiona, was a wealth of information about the history of Melbourne and answered all our question with great detailed. The tour weaved through the lane way stopping a historical points along the way some including a coffee taster (or hot drink of choice) and sweet treats. The tour ended with an amazing lunch all included in the cost of the tour. So happy I discovered many new lane ways and hide a way restaurants to visit in future.

ESCAPETHEROOMers first escape room scheduled in Melbourne, Australia is "Alchemy" at TRAPT Bar &…read moreEscape Rooms. The title explains itself as it is a fully functional bar/ lounge w/ five rooms to choose from. The minute that you venture down the stairs and enter a dimly lit corridor, you are transported back in time to a sophisticated and relaxed speakeasy bar. The spacious bar/ lounge area is also the waiting area for the escape rooms. The room that we booked - "Alchemy", introduces you to a world of wizardry and magic (similar to the Harry Potter books). The room had a few unique challenges w/ minimal technology incorporated. The decor and the puzzles presented fit the theme of the storyline. Since we only had 50 minutes to escape this room, we felt the pressure immediately which we used to our advantage. After successfully escaping, we met w/ the manager who's super helpful and nice and was fortunate enough to receive a tour of all the other rooms as well. Their rooms are very story-driven which we appreciate and would definitely like to try the other ones in the near future. *For more info, check out my Yelp profile.
