This review is for Penrith Ice Palace Skating Centre, Penrith NSW

verified email - 22 Dec 2009

I love ice skating. This rink is of a decent size and they have good music most of the time. There are usually children's birthday parties on at the same time, however, and this can be annoying and scary because the children are very unpredictable and I always feel I'm going to run one of them over so I have to go slower than I would like to.

The food is pretty standard but nice. The service is generally good. However, everything is over-priced for what it is. The new decorations look really silly too, but there isn't loud music, etc so it can be nice to sit there and eat.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Dumaresq Street Cinema, Campbelltown NSW

verified email - 22 Dec 2009

The tickets are only $6. I love this cinema. I go there a lot. The only downside is that the seats aren't the most comfortable but definitely okay for the 2-hour movie. Popcorn and other snacks are cheap too - you could see 3 of the Dumaresq movies for every one at Hoyts or Greater Union.

Approximate cost: $6

I really enjoy seeing movies here, especially since you can watch previews of upcoming movies on the screen at the entrance while waiting for people. Tickets are a little expensive but the seats are very comfortable to make up for that and cheap Tuesday can be a good way to go.

Approximate cost: $10.50 on Tuesdays; $17 Wed-Mon

This review is for Harris Farm Markets, Penrith NSW

I buy fresh fruit and vegetables there a lot - and sometimes chocolates (they have varieties not found in other supermarkets). The produce is generally fresh and tasty and the prices are reasonable. Only once I encountered a salesperson who couldn't answer my question - mostly they are really good.

This review is for JB Hi-Fi, Penrith NSW

verified email - 22 Dec 2009

JB Hi-Fi has a great selection of CD and DVDs. The staff is very polite and helpful and the prices are really competitive. It's a great place to stop by and get a present for someone, because the prices are low but they have a lot of options. I have been several times, once for myself and twice for presents.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Hungry Jacks Kingswood, Kingswood NSW

verified email - 22 Dec 2009

The service is good and the restaurant is quite large so you can always get a seat (it's generally not busy). The food is good, although I don't like their breakfast menu. The food has been fresh every time I've gone there - I've never had a problem.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Subway, Kingswood NSW

verified email - 22 Dec 2009

The food is very fresh and your sandwich is prepared in front of you, so you can choose exactly what you do and don't want to eat. It's opposite the train station so it's great to grab something and eat it on the train.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for ALDI, Penrith NSW

verified email - 22 Dec 2009

The value at ALDI is really good and you can get most things from there. There are a few items that aren't so good, like their "Tim Tam" equivalents and their fresh vegetables and fruit aren't quite as good as elsewhere. The staff are very quick. They often get random specials in, which is good.

This review is for Woolworths Plus Petrol, Penrith NSW

They are always busy but it doesn't take too long to get to a pump. The price is generally higher than most other petrol stations though. The location is the most handy part because it is directly opposite the Westfields Penrith exit.
