My kids love Sea World. It's the park they always ask to go back to on their extra days. They love the mix of animals and rides. They have some fantastic animal shows and so much to watch and see. Only downside can sometimes be the queues to some of the bigger thrill rides.
Highly recommend everyone to go.

Love our local market, Great quality fruit and veg from local growers, a mixture of new and old products. No entry fee to be paid which means you have more to spend on the stalls. Lots of food and drinks vans. Stall costs are also reasonable for those who wish to have a market stall. Lots of parking but it can get very busy on days of nice weather.

Miss Claire and Miss Vicky came and ran a Pamper party for my daughters 9th birthday. They had 15 girls all up and it was ran so well. They loved the glass of pink lemonade and getting to wear fluffy pink robes and headbands while having a foot soak, face mask and nails painted. The girls at the parted ranged from 6 to 12 and they all loved it. Very well run. We even got yummy cupcakes as a bonus.

My children made great progress in just 6 mths of swimming lessons. The Teachers are fantastic and really take the time to teach the right techniques. they are constantly assessing students and celebrating their achievements. Best move i made changing their swimming lessons to here.

I've been here lots with my family. I've also held my son's birthday here. Great value as the hire of rooms is free you just pay entry. The train and pony rides are always a hit. The kids love getting bread on the way in so they can feed the animals too. The petting area is always a hit. Great park for the kids to play on too. The Doveton Show is held here every year in September and that's a great day out too.

It's great to have a 24 hr clinic so close. With young children I've had many night visits to this clinic. Most doctors are fantastic, however you can be in for a long wait even with an appointment. It's also very close to the hospital if needed.

The penguin parade was awesome. The area at the beach is great and the park rangers explain what's happening which the kids loved. It was also great when you walk back from the beach and watch the penguins coming back to the shore. It gets quite cold sat waiting so I'd recommend taking layers. The chance to buy return passes is also great if you want to go back again. It's a must for all visitors to Vic we loved it.

We have been here quite a bit when my dad visits from the UK. I find it a very expensive family day out when you have to pay entry into the park and then for rides too. Having said that the kids love it. They play mini golf, see the animals, go on the rides as many times as they want. We always take a picnic lunch and it becomes a full family day out with the extended family too.

We have held season passes for Adventure park for the last 2 years and will be renewing them again this year. Our kids love the place. We always get there for opening time so the kids can do the big slides and rides before the big queues at around lunch time. The pirate ship is a big hit with all three kids and the river rides. My older girls love how they can race each other on the wave rider. Even though we drive for an hr and a half to get here we still think its a great value family day and head out there as often as we can during the season. They are always improving facilities and adding new things which makes it fun and new each year.

Only been here for lunch menu but great value and generous serves. Love how I can sit in front of the play area and see my toddler playing while I get chance to finish my food. It can take a little time for staff to serve you at times.
