Awesome experience! We rode a coaster (plenty of space) so it was a comfortable trip. Amazing views of the Ocean Road. We were not so lucky with the weather because it was cloudy and rainy. But overall I highly recommend the trip especially if you are only spending few days in Melbourne.

The instructor is very good and the whole activity is very thoughtful. However, the water quality of the Melbourne River is a bit dirty, so it is recommended to wear long pants, but the overall experience is good.

Although the exhibition area is not large, the animals and moving routes inside are well maintained and designed, making it suitable for taking the whole family for a walk.
