Nice place to spend time with family, magic section is good to experience,
Entry and buying ticket can take long time, and would need to wait outside in sunlight for at least half an hour..once the tickets r purchased then the tour begins...the glass maze, bridge and some other magic stuff was fun, Gravity room was kind of a creepy..theres a picture room that has an illusion to make one person look small n other person look big,,give that a try n make some memories..;-) The scary room is not scary at all..u will end up in laughing at why it is not scary..đ The tour is not guided so basically u would hv to explore things by yourself..so b as much curious as possible to hv most fun out of it.., The maze outside does not live up to the expectation..the floor is not made out of grass neither the walls r made out of grass..and if u r smart enough to follow the foot prints..u will pretty much make it through the maze in first attempt..,also theres an emergency exit if u get lost but its rare to happen.. The entire tour can take up to 1-1.5hrs and is fine to experience it once in a life time....but it is not good enough to visit second time..,they should change activities and make it more interesting for the audience specially for the amount of money paid to buy the ticket.. The cafĂ© is pretty basic with some sandwiches, snacks hot and cold drinks on offer..again wl hv to line up to get stuff on a busy day.. There is a souvenir shop at the end of the tour..that offers a wide range of products..u can also print the picture taken in photo booth for minimal amount of money...since its not possible to get a soft copy so better to print... The golf area is a good place for kids n family to try..but can get boring too as all tracks look similar and if u r not a big golf fan..its not going to be a fun activity.. Plenty of parking spots available inside and around the park..and some open play area for kids and families to rest and have food.. Overall not a bad place to visit for spending 3-4 hours in a day.. i would suggest going early morning and finish...
   Read moreAwesome place to spend with friends and family. Love it, A Must visit if you are in Victoria !!!
It has become our tradition to visit Philip Island every year and we ensure we visit this amazing place. With every passing year we have seen "A Maze n Things" grow.
The new -Magic Manor was amazing and worth the ticket price. Even though we couldnt see the magic show (XMas eve), we had fun seeing things inside. Awesome attractions that we loved inside Magic Manor were:
Time machine that sends you 10 minutes back in time. Optical illusions Magical hat Rabbit house and performance Haunted house Virtual haircut
There were a lot more and you should visit this place to experience its awesomeness.
Our experience started with the cafe where we sat on tables with puzzles on each seat. We spent close to an hour swapping chairs to solve a new puzzle. This area is free and you don't need a ticket for it.
We then entered the ticketed area where we went through gravity defying zone in which ball goes up instead of going down on billiard table and chair slides up. Then there was a room where you can picture yourself flying in air followed by the most popular pic zone. There was even a room where children look big in size while adults standing on other side appear to be smaller in height (pic is now paid, you cannot use your camera).
Then we went to a mirror maze followed by rotating tunnel which led to a big hall full of activities. Several activities for kids including a near vertical slide for adults is great. Special mention to the treasure hunt in this hall as that really made my kids think about the clues.
From here we entered "Magic Manor" which in-turn leads to the huge outdoor maze.
There is another upcoming attraction (express train), scheduled to be opened on 27th (yeah we missed it by 2 days, but who cares, we will come back next year).
There are many outdoor attractions: SkyWalk, golf, and swings.
Clean barbeques outdoors that run for 23 minutes on a special $1 token is a nice addition.
A perfect place to be...
   Read moreThe mega mini golf is well maintained and lots of fun. Inside there are table top puzzles to explore. You can also buy some of these in the gift shop. The gift shop had lots to offer, prices are reasonable. My kids are still playing with what we bought so that's great! The cafe is a little pricey, especially the ice creams but that's to be expected in a tourist town. The service in the cafe was fast, friendly and accommodating. There is a Bbq area outside, tables and chairs and plenty of grass area if you want to bring along a picnic. The maze was great, we only found out way to 2 of the 4 flags. Took us a while to find our 10 year old who ran off, lol, my advice is stay together if you don't want to be in there all day! The inside section I think was called Puzzle Island I didn't get to explore as our 3 year old got frightened straight away and became very upset. The staff were amazing!!! Very kind to us from start to finish. They really took their time to help my daughter feel better, just lovely and friendly and completely understanding of her emotions. Children 3 and under are free and this makes total sense for us. Thank goodness for the playground area. Bring a hat and sunscreen! All in all we had a good time, would definitely come back when our daughter is old enough to...
