This review is for Fairy Park, Anakie VIC

14 Jan 2022

Good access to parking, good displays and entertaining for young children. I’d bring my little ones back again in future - just wish there was a family pass option as can become quite expensive for what it is to be honest ($56 for 2 adults and a 3yo).

Some thoughts to improve:
>Kids rides and vending machines that accept payment with card (I can’t remember when I last had cash!).
>Toilet block near the top of the hill. It’s a big ask to try and get down to the one and only toilet block at the bottom with a busting 3 year old! There is a sign that warns you, but when a toddler needs to go, they need to go.
>Shaded grassy area to sit and have a picnic. It was hard to find somewhere to sit and comfortably have something to eat with a toddler and a baby.
>Replace the big metal slide in the playground. I haven’t seen a metal slide since my childhood in the 80’s! My 3yo burnt the backs of his legs going down it (was only a 20 degree day - I take responsibility for not thinking to tell him not to go down, but I was also there with a baby and pram and didn’t really expect this to be an issue at a playground!).

If you’re in a wheelchair - make sure you take someone who is super strong and can push you up the hills! If you’ve got a pram, be prepared! It’s do-able, just very steep!

Approximate cost: $56

This review is for Brazilian Butterfly, Essendon VIC

29 Mar 2015

Went in for a brazilian wax... Urrrrrgh.
I get one of these done every 4-6 weeks, I decided to give BB in Essendon a try as I'm visiting in Melbourne. Don't go there! When I went to get dressed there were bits of wax/lotion etc still on me that I had to wipe off. I noticed once I got home that I had a patch of bruising or maybe it's a burn, I dont know what it is exactly, and my skin was prickly, red and irritated. There were a lot of hairs missed on my bikini line, and random hairs missed else where that I've had to remove myself. She was too quick and careless, and it makes me mad when charged $48 for the displeasure of such bad service. Never again!

Approximate cost: $48
