Lovely chocolates. Good range. Love the free tastes with purchases. Friendly staff. Would love another store to open in Chatswood and for the Cinema Mix to become available again.

Great range of quality items including items made in Europe and Australia. Staff friendly and helpful. Good online store and product booklet. Frequent specials. Worthwhile getting on their email list.

Great kids parties with time on the slides and climbing area, a disco and food in the party room. Good food that is appealing to kids and adults at reasonable prices. Parking available, but could do with more spots on a weekend. Nearby street parking easy though.

Great place to bring young kids on a wet day. All indoors or undercover and pram friendly. Good range of insects and Australian wildlife. Displays are well set up so children don't need to be lifted to see each exhibit. For best value combine with Sydney Aquarium and or Madam Taussaud's

Conveniently located near Wildlife World and Sydney Aquarium. You can buy a pass for all 3 for a discounted rate. Can see this place in under 2 hours and is pram friendly. Go on a week day if possible to avoid crowds.

Great location. Cheapest place to park would be at Star City casino $15 for the day, otherwise I believe membership allows for closer discounted parking. Gets very busy in school holidays, so if you are able to go during the week you will enjoy if much more. Love the area at the end where you can watch the aquarium wall and listen to relaxing music. Avoid bringing your pram if possible and try to do Wildlife World next door on the same day for discounted entry.

Gardening Northside have always delivered an immaculately neat and accurate job with our small and large hedges. They always clean up well afterwards, are reliable and have squeezed me in on more than one occasion in busy times such as just before Xmas.
