Geelong's original live puzzle game. You have 70 minutes to unravel the mystery of a hidden room, working as a team of 2-6 to solve a variety of quirky and inventive puzzles to escape.

Had an impressive and challenging time at Escape Room Geelong. So tricky, but not impossible and we were given time to get through the whole thing. The guy was a great help and offered assistance via walkie talkie as required. The adventure begins before you get there with a clue for you to find the location. We did the Magic Room, but there is an Original option as well. I highly recommend this. It was our first escape room and I would definitely do another following this experience.

Absolutely love the Pivotonian Cinema for it's great atmosphere, comfy seats, great icecream, coffee etc etc. I will always choose to see a movie in this intimate cinema rather than the bigger ones ie Village cinemas. There are often lesser well known movies that may only last a couple of weeks in the major cinemas that you can see here. Easy parking across Moorabool Street is also great. Would highly recommend!

Very disappointed at negative reviews advising people not to visit . This is a rescue centre for injured wildlife where keepers volunteer their time. This is not a zoo! This place relies on visitors and donations for the public in order to continue caring for injured and surrendered animals. If you truly care about the welfare of animals then this is great place to visit, if you are interested in animals purely your own amusement then leaving scathing reviews is most unhelpful for those of that care. If you do visit best to teach your children to be respectful and behave accordingly. My 4 kids did become slightly unruly towards the end so we knew it was time for us to leave ????

Great food , Great service, Great wine, If you are looking for a relaxed place to chill, sip a glass of wine and enjoy a great platter perfect for a lazy afternoon...and plenty of room for children to run around outside

Ok had some fun with the title but entry was disturbing to Sanctuary with a masked Ranger taking my contact details. Breathe ... stroll ... watch :) The beautiful “Wildlife walk” I never get tired of. A great place to bring kids. Today I enjoyed the peace and solitude. Nature calms. Wallaby so cute.

Wow! The food was amazing(especially the lamb pizza!), great craft beer be sure to try the Rasberry beer!!) and the service was exceptional! The staff happily chatted with our 2.5 year old about his colouring in and chips, really made us feel welcome, which was great as we were unsure about taking a 2.5 year old to a brewery. Upon leaving, one of the staff (Amanda I think it was) asked me for my phone so she could take some photos of the 3 of us 'making memories ' which was nice instead of one of us hiding behind the camera! Great atmosphere and even a little sand pit for the kids! Would definitely recommend coming here and we will return for sure!!
7. Buckley Falls

Reviewed By RickNet - Mornington, Australia
As quiet park area on the edge of the urban sprawl. Australia is really flat, so for international visitors this is a cascade rather than falls... There is a parking bay close to the falls so the walk is only a couple hundred metres to the viewing platforms. You can view the falls with only a 25m walk from your car if you want. The walk is downhill on the way out, the path is well constructed with had rails which are needed due to the bluestone paving being a little uneven. There are more parking bays linked to the area and spots to sit and tables for picnics. So close to the CBD I cant think of a reason to miss it.
