you end up spending so much on tickets i definitely recommend not trying for a prize and just playing the shooting games and whatever games don't cough out raffles!

it's always fun here and the place closes late, you can't go wrong!

staff are super friendly as well

HUGE play centre - closes really late, didn't get to try bowling or laser tag but the arcade games were pretty fun

so easy to lose so much money though, and with the tickets you only end up getting almost nothing (but then again that's what arcade games are basically like)

staff were nice and approachable

Fun fun fun! Had a great night there, we stayed there until 1.30am playing laser tag. Was very fun and would definately go back next time we are in Vic. Good work

we took our daughter here last year and i think it is very expensive. My daughter and her father spent $50 on claw machines and only got one toy out of them. The $50 was gone in less than 10 minutes. Apart from being expensive they do offer a great range of arcade games as well as laser tag and bowling. I found the staff were not very helpful and you had to wait a long time for one to serve you.

I've had much the same experience with the staff as well. There's a definite lack of care factor with them - too young maybe? Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.

That's very interesting sounds like a great place to take the kids, even if it is a bit heavy on the pockets.

This place used to be really awesome - it had so many more games and would run contests. The best part about Galactic Circus that separated them from most arcades was when they had Dance Dance Revolution on a big screen. Heaps of people would crowd around and watch those playing a game, and they would have competitions and give aways there.

Galactic Circus now is okay - but not somewhere I would travel especially to go to anymore. And I don't find myself in Southbank that often. It has about half the amount of games (or at least seems that way after they got rid of a bunch of the better games) and is much less busy/exciting.

So when I rate this place, I rate it as compared to its former self. I cannot help but be disappointed when I go here. However, compared to other arcades, it has a decent amount of games, not badly priced and is in the Crown Casino complex (which is both advantageous and disadvantageous).

This interactive theme park place sure is fun for the whole family, featuring hundreds of the latest arcade games, indoor laser skirmish, bowling and carnival favourites - popcorn, fairy floss and even showbags! The staff don't seem that enthrawled but as long as you are you can have a great time.

Held a birthday party here and was pretty impressed. The kids had a great time with all the games on offer (and there's HEAPS on offer). Staff were friendly enough but certainly didn't bowl me over with their enthusiasm. Plenty of party food available like party pies, nuggets etc. Great fun for kids of all ages!

Great place to head to when you are sick of the casino. They have a good range of arcade games and games that dish out tokens which you can use to exchange for prizes. Friendly and helpful staff.

I have gone here several times with my family and friends. Sometimes my boys have won vouchers and sometimes we just buy powercards. The more powercard credit you buy the more extra games you can have. There are all sorts of games your family can play whether it be skittle ball, basketball, whack the mole, car racing just to name a few. There is also Laser Quest which is great value for money and last about 15 minutes. If you are looking for something for your family to do especially on a rainy day then Galatic Circus is the place to go. Thanks.

Had a great time with my brother we ended up spending 3 hours there playing games. Unfortunately a few games did not work correctly. Ended up spending over $150.

i ended up spending $100 for 2 hours of games - it's a great experience, but definitely something i wouldn't do often

Holding a birthday party there is reasonably fun. Lots to offer. Many prizes to be won. The food provided is not that great...i.e Party pies, etc. The pricing may also be a bit much but there's discounts if you bring a bigger group of friends!
