My first review from the mobile app. A very large cinema in…read morea large shopping centre. The theaters ticketing prices are the same as those few other that I have been to. However this cinemas has a very large number if movies on show each time than others, so those movies that don't seem to be showing at other theaters will most likely be on show here. Other than that, the screens are big, the seats are comfortable and as usual the drinks and popcorn are extremely expensive.

First off, you can't buy tickets online if you don't have an Australian credit card, nor can you…read morebuy them over the phone. So for anyone visiting, I recommend you find another theatre and give them your money instead. Movie tickets are expensive, and concessions are ridiculously expensive. And it was total chaos when we were there - both ice machines were out of ice and it was hard to find anyone to help (and it was 35 outside). Lines were long to pay. Popcorn is boxed up in advance so you're not getting fresh stuff. Sweet only comes in one size, there's no option to mix sweet & salty, and no butter. The theatre seems new and the "Xtreme Screen" was big with excellent sound. The seats are very wide and recline with controls similar to an airplane seat. The bathrooms are far too small for a theatre of this size.

The Chandelier Room is FANTASTIC!…read more Every Saturday night, with $20 cover you will get to see 3 quality acts! Tonight I saw lucky enough to see Mama Blue & Son, Pat Wilson (Trio) and Tim Hulsman. I have never heard of any of these acts however the quality and talent was really enjoyable and laid back. This isn't a bar to get rowdy but instead to sit on luxurious sofas and couches, grab a few drinks and pizzas or tapas and kick back after a big week to enjoy sweet sweet bluesy music. Tips: -You can reserve tables or couches ahead of time at this venue -Bring cash at the door -Doors open at 8pm with acts starting around 8-8:30pm and the venue closing at 12am I will be making my way back here soon as the music was fun, drinks well priced and the venue easy to get to from the south east suburbs with plenty of parking outside.

Prep the war paint and combat boots cause it is all out war at this place!…read more Without booking, a group of 10 of us showed up at Darkzone and played 2 games of laser tag on a Saturday night for $15 per person. We got to compete against several other players in a multilevel indoor arena and each game was different. For the first game, we were divided into several different teams and competed to capture and destroy each other's home base. Strategy, quick feet and lots of squats will help you get through this one! The second game was 1-on-1 so every man for himself...this is when it got real crazy and there was NO safe zone to hide. I really enjoyed going to Darkzone and there are even free arcade machines though they are a bit outdated.

I was at a friend's wedding weekend before last, and it got me thinking back to when they started…read moredating. A bunch of us would come out to Box Hill every Friday night, drop ten dollars or so, and run around for an hour shooting each other with lasers. Kind of worrying, actually. In the event of a real war, I'm in trouble - I'll be so used to only being able to be shot in the chest that I'll be poking my head all sorts of places it shouldn't be poked. And that was the thing about Darkzone. As a regular entertainment it became really habit forming. I knew where to shoot to bounce lasers at people in cover. I knew where the cover was, how to slash a shot to maximise the effectiveness of the second-long firing period, where to snipe from above. I could duckwalk for about a mile at a time. Good times.

Nice rooftop overseeing the city view!…read more There's a rooftop lounge area for cinema time and a time for sitting around to just simply relax while sipping on drinks! They provide the bar food of burgers and etc., if you want munchies. I was enjoying the sun and city landscapes here! It's quite a communal place to be and overseen to get up here! The ground floor entry is easy to miss and exterior is dull. Cheers to chill vibes!

I did not watch a movie here, however, I enjoyed the craft beer and the burger which was both very good! I love the concept of watching an rooftop, outdoor movie with good food and drinks. There should be many of these worldwide! Very relaxing place yet also excellent upbeat vibe at the same time if you know what I mean. I would love to come back here.

Looking for a place where you can jump around like an idiot and not give 2 hoots! Then you've come…read moreto the right place. There are several different areas of trampolines from the wall to wall trampoline, to the long trampoline jumping into the foam pit, heck they even have dodge ball trampoline! You can normally book in for an hour session and you get free bounce socks (better grip for the trampolines). Although be warned, it's not as easy as it looks. There were definitely some people who had done it before.. a lot! Pretty embarrassing when the young's outshine you with their acrobatic circus moves! I could never get as high as them, nor do as many flips. And boy do you sure work up a puff!

You can come in through that etching glass door, walk through that soft and colorful Art Deco style carpet, and just sit in these flannel covered couch, order an ice cream cone or a beer, no one is looking unless you purchase a movie ticket! Just hang out there for nothing if you will! Interior is even more convincingly comfortable, it's more Art Deco and the super advanced multi-channel Atom Surround system will knock you out of the seat...so to speak:) Highly recommend this cinema, only just the only,it is a historical site!

My love affair with the Rivoli has survived many makeovers and overhauls. My first visit was when I…read morewas eight to see The Witches. Back then it was a dark cinema reminiscent of traditional movie houses (complete with balcony) Fast forward twenty years and the Rivoli is part of Village Cinema's complete with newly opened Gold Class Lounge and cinemas. Their rooftop bar is also a great place to grab a drink before or after your movie. Despite the new developments the Rivoli retains art deco furnishings and old world feel. The cinema screens are hidden by a curtain and the seats are very comfortable (great for those three hour movies.) This large art deco cinema complex shows are range of popular movies with particular emphasis on art house releases and world cinema. For the price of a movie ticket these days you want more from your movie going experience and the Rivoli is one of the best. They are also host many Melbourne Movie Premier's so if red carpets are more your speed then watch their website for details.

I expected to just browse the designers featured at the local Big Design Market, but ended up…read morecoming away with several fun Christmas gifts. There are multiple stalls with 'Melbourne' themed gifts if you are shopping for interstate or overseas. Entry is free and there is a big range of prices for various budgets, from $5 bottle cap style rings to $250+ for cotton bedding. There are also items you never knew you needed but can possibly live without, like an Australian flag moustache broche. A vast majority of the products are aimed at the ladies, but there are some good things for guys here too. You can also head here for after work drinks for a beer, wine, or cider and a taco truck is parked out front. The market features some great designers and it's worth it to have a look around at the artists and craftsmanship.

The Big Design Market. Seriously, go there with a budget and only go over that budget by a hundred because things could get out of control. So much beautiful bits and pieces from dog clothes to vases, calendars to jewellery to art, plants to bicycle. EVERYTHING PRETTY. And on the crowd side, so many people in outfits that I would like to borrow. It's a little crowded but nothing compared with the alcohol tastings I've been to/work out so this level of people was actually a nice change. The biggest lines and crowds were for food (especially Miss Chu's Dumplings) but there was a couple of street food traders on the outside that you could get pass outs to. And that's not really what you're there for right..? BEST PLACE EVER FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
