ArtVo (Melbourne) : Review

June 7, 2018Linda AndersonTRAVEL, TRAVEL WITH KIDSNo Comments

 

As part of our long weekend in Melbourne I took my 9 year old to ArtVo.

ArtVo is described as a ‘trick art’ or immersive gallery.  Themed rooms have artwork painted on the walls and floors and if you follow the instructions on where to stand and how to hold the camera you can create some awesome images like this:

Although we had a lot of fun together creating images there are a few things I want to make note of if you are thinking of going.

 

COST

It was $46 for my daughter and I to go to ArtVo which I thought was very expensive for what it was. We did have lots of fun but I didn’t feel it was $46 of fun!

There are family tickets available which are better value and we received 25% off passes at the end to give to friends. Definitely keep an eye out for any coupons or discounts on offer.

 

WHEN TO VISIT

We were there on a Friday morning, in winter, and not during school holidays which meant it was quiet. Even then we found ourselves getting caught up in several rooms trying to keep out of the way of other people taking photos. Because of how and where you need to stand to take the photos it doesn’t take much to get under people’s feet.  I would hate to be there on a busy weekend or school holidays!

 

ASK FOR ASSISTANCE

Some paintings are easy to work out in terms of how to pose to create great effects. Some paintings totally baffled us. Although there is often a TV showing examples for a couple of the artworks in the room it won’t help you figure out the rest.

Staff do wander between rooms so be sure to grab someone at every possible chance as it makes a huge difference to your experience.

 

GETTING THERE

ArtVo is located in Harbourtown, Docklands. It was easy to reach via tram from the CBD and is part of the free travel zone for Melbourne trams. Catching a tram was a big highlight for my daughter!

 

 

The verdict … definitely a fun activity but perhaps for ages 7+ as younger kids would lose interest quickly.  Hold out for a discount of some sort to make the experience better value.

I have been feeling house bound for the last 2 wee I have been feeling house bound for the last 2 weeks recovering from my foot operation but I am able to drive now.
So when a beautiful friend suggested buying me a coffee and meeting me at the beach for some fresh air and a chat it was an immediate YES from me 💗
Thanks @emilykingpens ... that was so good for my soul.

In our modern world we have neglected to support a In our modern world we have neglected to support and prepare a woman for the significant changes she will experience within herself when the mother is born. This transition from woman to mother is profound, and yet generations of women have been left to navigate this part of their journey alone.

It wasn't meant to be like this. We are supposed to gather. To share our wisdom with each other. To share our vulnerabilities. To take this journey hand in hand, to walk the path with others.

The doors to the 2021 Mama Rising Book Club have now opened and I can't wait to bring another small group of women together to explore their journey of motherhood together.

 

Thanks to Zoom we can be any where in the world together, and still gather.
We can rock our babies to sleep ... and still gather.
We can be in lockdown ... and still gather.

I am ready to gather .. are you?
It is time to gather. It is time to explore the ch It is time to gather.
It is time to explore the changes that motherhood has brought YOU, the woman.
It is time to feel supported.

Doors have opened for the 2021 Mama Rising Book Club. Link in bio.

It is time.

My 💗 is full tonight
Tomorrow I will be up bright and early (4.50am) fo Tomorrow I will be up bright and early (4.50am) for another great ocean swim with @nzoceanswim 
My island swim friends and I are catching a water taxi across to Auckland for the race.
I have been pretty quiet in the lead up to this swim because I wasnt sure I was going to be able to do it (grrr ... injury) but yesterday I decided I was still going to have a go, even if I just swim super slow and gentle.
You see, a beautiful soul I used to paddle with in Sydney was killed in an accident 2 weeks ago ... leaving behind young children and her wonderful husband. Tomorrow her funeral will be held in Sydney.
Tomorrow I choose to swim ... because I can. And I want to really feel gratitude for that fact and send love from the ocean across the ditch to all who will miss her. 💗🏊‍♀️💗
