    Puffing billy was an interesting experience in Melbourne! The first curve with nice view of the bridge was the best part but it gets quite repetitive after that.Good for a one-time visit, but lower your expectations for excitement.

    So much to see here! We weren’t able to to catch all the shows, do the mine tour, or find gold because we got caught up just exploring the place and shopping at their stores. Don’t miss the candy making and the magic show sessions! Hope Bakery had really good pies. Raspberry soda at United States Hotel bar was also yummy. Food was far from the tourist trap prices and quality we were fearing. We also did AURA (not included in this booking) which would have been a much more enjoyable experience had it been warmer but was still a wondrous spectacle despite the night chill.

    The park was part of the tour that I joined. A lot smaller than other Australian national zoos and not a lot of animals. Might be better for families with small children since the experience areas are not as crowded and more time can be spent with the animals.

    There's only one public bus per hour to the zoo, so if you're not driving, plan your trip accordingly. The zoo is large and clearly divided, making it easy to navigate. There are also tour buses that offer views of many large animals. There are also meerkats next to the restaurant, allowing you to enjoy your meal while watching them through the glass.

    Phillip Island Nature Park is an unforgettable travel experience. It seems to be a natural treasure, the spectacular scenes of penguins returning to their nests are moving, the little guys are swaying and cute. There are seals lazily basking in the sun and playing with the waves. Walking on the beach, breathing the fresh sea breeze, feeling the tranquility and beauty of nature, let people forget the hustle and bustle of the world, just want to immerse in this pure world.

    We had a great time at LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Melbourne! It’s vibrant, fun, and packed with interactive zones perfect for kids aged 3–10. Highlights include the LEGO Melbourne cityscape, Kingdom Quest ride, Merlin’s Apprentice, 4D Cinema, and build zones like LEGO Racers. It’s a mix of creativity, play, and hands-on learning.One-time tickets are a bit pricey, especially for families, but the annual pass offers excellent value with unlimited visits and access to other attractions, plus discounts on food and extras. Ideal for first-time visitors, though repeat trips are best with a pass. Weekends get busy, and some build areas can run low on bricks, but overall it’s a well-run, imaginative space that kids love.We give it 4 out of 5 stars - a fantastic day out with plenty of LEGO magic!
