Carol蔷薇雨露:“After a 10-year absence, I accompanied my friends to the 88th floor of Melbourne's Eureka! 🌈
I went to the restaurant on the 89th floor once in the middle. It seems to be my third time here [Deyi] There is a new project downstairs VR”
M47***95:“I went to the museum on a whim. The ticket purchasing experience was excellent, as you could use the tickets as you went, and the price was better than at the venue. The museum isn't large, but the exhibits are well-designed, with a great combination of audiovisual equipment. In the Aboriginal exhibition area, each exhibit has a text description, pictures, and videos showing how it's used and what it's like to experience life. These made it easier to understand the purpose of the exhibits and learn more about Aboriginal life. There were also various props for experiencing the exhibits. I happened to catch an insect dance activity when I went, and a large group of children were happily singing and dancing in the lobby on the first floor.”

unoimgr8st:“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!”
Mandadadada:“Lovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there’s autumn leaves covering the walkways. There is even a small pond with some ducks in the corner. And right in front of the royal exhibition hall, there is a fountain where sometimes you will catch couples taking their wedding photos here.”
爱笑的宝哥:“With nine-year-old children who love painting to enjoy the works of French Impressionist painters more than 100 years ago, let children get edified in the paintings, ear-stained, record their favorite works with the camera, and continue to enjoy after returning home. This is the satisfaction that art brings to us. It can last a long time.”
我家宝贝最疼爱的猪:“The competition was very exciting. The price of the tickets was not much different from that sold on the Australian official website. Many of the matches were very exciting. I was very happy to be able to watch this competition, especially the preliminaries of the two men's and women's singles champions. I was really lucky hahahaha”
iQOO🐮:“The Puffing Billy steam train is really great! Sitting in the retro carriage, listening to the whistle, passing through dense forests and valleys. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and you can stick your feet out of the window and wave and interact with the enthusiastic residents. It feels like being in a fairy tale world. This unique journey makes people forget their troubles and is extremely comfortable.”
awu45:“Known as one of the most beautiful libraries in the southern hemisphere, the State Library of Victoria is definitely a must-see attraction in Melbourne. It was built in 1854 and combines classical architecture with modern facilities. The iconic Latrobe dome reading room is like a magic academy. Retro long tables and green table lamps are displayed under the octagonal dome, which is definitely a good place to take photos. There are more than 2 million books in the collection, including Chinese books. What's more valuable is that it is open to the public for free, and it is full of compatriots who come to check in.
🚶 Recommended tour route:
1️⃣ 📸 Check in the dome: Take the elevator directly to the 6th floor to take a panoramic view. The light shines through the glass dome, and the atmosphere is full. The best ones have to line up to take photos!
2️⃣ 🖼️ Exhibition area: Permanent historical manuscripts and theme special exhibitions, feel the cultural precipitation, many people come here to "pretend" to work hard!
3️⃣ ☕ Cafe break: The cafe in the museum is suitable for daydreaming, and it is more comfortable with the fragrance of books
🚌 Travel suggestions
Transportation: Take the tram 🚇 to La Trobe St/Swanston St station (in the free zone), or walk 3 minutes from Melbourne Central station. The homestay we stayed in was in the city center, so we decided to walk 🚶 there, and we could also experience Melbourne's city 🌆 culture along the way
🈺 Business hours: Monday to Thursday 10:00-21:00, Friday to Sunday 10:00-18:00.”

Natashazwin:“We had an amazing stay at Hotel Chadstone Melbourne MGallery Collection. From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly, professional, and attentive, making us feel welcome and well cared for.
The room was beautifully styled, clean, and very comfortable perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and of high quality.
The absolute highlight of our stay was the swimming pool. It was stunning, with incredible views and a calm, luxurious atmosphere. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some quiet time.
The hotel’s location was also ideal, right next to Chadstone Shopping Centre, which made everything so convenient.
Overall, a truly 5-star experience. We will definitely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Melbourne!”
Yvonne//:“I stay at the service apartment. Room is very large and spacious. It can house up to 7 persons comfortably. The balcony is so dusty that it cannot be used. The view is decently ok. Kitchen is basic with some pots and pans. The reception is manned 24 hours opposite the road the Best Western motel. Swimming pool, heated jacuzzi and steam rooms are at the motel side.”
Alejandro y:“It’s an excellent hotel in general, beautiful lake view, close to city and tram, quiet environment. To be honest, it gives an old vibe considering the year while it’s price worthy. Pool and gym are good.
Staff are nice and welcome. We left out glass cups when we checked out, when we came back they were kept. 🙏”
Taralesley:“The Pullman Melbourne Albert Park was a beautiful place to stay! 10/10 would recommend and would stay again. Concierge staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Room service food was excellent, cocktails were fresh and well presented, breakfast was to die for! The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed! Parking on site was affordable, safe and easily accessible, shared amenities such as the pool and gym were well maintained. Definitely a great option for accommodation!”
Nunn:“Our stay was overall satisfactory and would definitely stay here again. The rooms themselves were clean, comfy and spacious, the TVs were working fine, the staff were friendly and helpful and the location suited us just fine with free parking. I would just make a few small suggestions for improvement:
1) Please check your rooms before guests check in, including safes, to make sure everything is fine. My safe was locked with something rather unpleasant found inside once it was eventually opened!
2) Please make sure the rooms are all made up by the time guests get back. The other two I travelled with complained about their rooms not being made up a couple of times.
3) Anything that’s not working, eg washing machine, promptly put a sign outside notifying others it is out of order.
Other than that, no complaints, and as said, would definitely come back here!”
Kai Chi Anthony:“A very chilling environment and decoration . Friendly, passionate and professional staff. Bikes borrowing and even a microwave for long stay customers. A close by tram station makes trips to anywhere very easy. Just almost perfect.”
