The "jumping station" is equipped with a high quality trampoline. You are fitted with a specially made hip-harness connected to adjustable elastics. These in turn are attached to high quality mountaineering ropes which, by way of a carabiner and pulley system are diverted over the top of the structure to a winch at the base. The participant is then lifted above the trampoline using the winch and by jumping he/she gains height. It is $10 for a single swing and the kiddies seem to absolutely love it.

What a great spot in Sydney. You can take a nice, short ferry ride from Circular Quay to get there…read more There's something for everyone, including the kids. Unlike the US, the food prices here, while a bit higher than areas outside, are not the high gouging prices you see in the US. You can buy an unlimited ride pass (which is a bit pricey), or you can buy single rides for certain rides. Most rides require a pass which is a downside if you want to try certain rides. We rode the ferris wheel which was a lot of fun and gave us some great sites of Sydney Harbour. We loved that the lines aren't long at all, certainly not by US theme park standards. If you have time, swing by to try a ride or two or three and some theme park food.

The Darling Harbor ferry station is right here as well. Just a little walk toward the street corner is Olympic Pool. There are rides and concessions here. It's free to walk inside, but you need tickets to pay for the rides. The ferris wheel is worth a ride. Bathroom and water refill stations inside.

I have always been a fan of puzzles and problem solving. Escape Hunt offers players a real life…read morerole play of solving a crime and being the hero. The facilities are excellent here. Once you get upstairs your instantly transported into a room of mystery and intrigue. The lounge area while you wait is filled with puzzles to keep you entertained. Biscuits and tea or coffee are freely available. It's located on George Street close to Martin Place Station, Town Hall and Wynyard so perfect to get to. The tone for each room is set out with a description of what your about to encounter on a manual. The excellent hostess also described a brief history of the 3 stories to each room which got us all pumped and ready for our challenge. Each room offers mental challenges and mathematical problem solving as you attempt to make your way along the crime solving journey. The game is challenging and your given 60 minutes to get out before it's too late. My group and I found it very tough and required a lot of brain storming. Definitely be prepared to be challenged. The hostess provides you with a walkie talkie for those moments your struggling with clues which is great when your going the wrong way. The reward for getting out is some fun picture moments with some props like a magnifying glass or pipes. Your chance to look like Sherlock Holmes. This place is perfect for a group of friends celebrating a birthday or work bounding experience. I highly recommend the place and the staff here and superb professionals and go out of their way to ensure everyone leaves with a smile. Best thing is they got 3 different rooms and frequently update them so you can return again. Thanks Escape Hunt for a good experience.

Who stole the money from the cottage?…read more That was what my team of three had to uncover. The place was dimly lit, the brick looking wall paper, the costumes and the other decor gave the feeling of being in a sherlock holmes novel. They even have the accompanying outfits, large magnifying glasses and smoking pipes. There were many of us detectives, we were divided into groups and had different puzzles to solve and were given an hour to solve the mystery! The team I was with was the first to solve the mystery (woohoo!!! - I even have a certificate to provide it!) There were a couple of rooms and in each there was a clue and using that we had to find the combination to a lock. Opening a lock usually means uncovering the next clue or getting access to the next room. Upon unlocking the final lock, you'll learn who the culprit it (in our case, who stole the money). While you're suppose to feel like Sherlock Holmes in this game, I have to say that I felt more like the mentalist. Mainly because the clues we were given were about the behaviour of the possible suspects and we had to decipher the cryptic text and find the correct items to get the combination for the next lock. And also because the place is located in the heart of the Sydney CBD right on George Street. I walk past there countless times and didn't realise that this cool establishment existed. There were plenty of nibbles where we first arrived and there were also little puzzles for us to solve while we waited for our game to start. And at the end, there were champagne and wine to enjoy while we share our last 60 minutes experience with the other teams. Our team solves the mystery in 47 minutes. How long did yours take?

ESCAPETHEROOMers first escape room experience in Sydney, Australia, we decided to visit The Enigma…read moreRoom and try their "In Memoriam" room. When we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The lobby/ waiting area is a little bit on the small side w/ one 2-seater couch available.This room borrows a little bit from the movie "Inception" and "Being John Malkovich" where you are traveling into a woman in a coma's mind and reliving her memories. The room decor could use a little bit of renovations as some items in there seemed a little run down. The puzzles were fairly unique w/ some interesting challenges about random knowledge. Overall, the concept was entertaining but w/ a little bit of upgrades we feel it will have great potential! *For more info, check out my Yelp profile.

The best escape room experience!…read more It's a bit of a puzzle trying to find the place, which I felt added to the overall experience. We did the "In Memoriam" room. It was very well executed and tied in with the given storyline. There was a lot more to it than just unlocking locks. Better than other escape rooms I've been to. And at the end, the staff take you back into the room and walk through what was done and how your team performed in comparison to others in the past. It was nice to hear some feedback :) Highly recommend!

Ever wanted to fly a jet? Well, at Flight Experience you can! This is truly a once in a lifetime…read moreflying experience that even a complete novice like me can try. They offer several flight simulator packages tailored to match the knowledge and experience level you have. They have the 30-minute Scenic Flight, 45-minute City Circuits, 60-minute City Flyer and the 90-minute Ultimate Experience. All flights are conducted one-on-one by incredible instructors but you can always bring along a friend or two to join the fun! They provide extra seating for up to two people at no extra cost. I checked out their popular package - the City Flyer. I picked City to City and made my dream of flying a modern jet from London to Paris come true! It's really informative and totally thrilling. The visuals are so surreal. Other options for this package include take-off & landing practice and challenging approaches to experienced aviators. I might try those some other time. Interested? Go for it! Flight Experience is definitely worth trying.
