We had a surprisingly good time at Artvo. The immersive paintings are interesting and relatively easy to step into, though more so for children and smaller more limber adults. Only complaint we have is that many of the paintings need to be retouched. Apparently no new paintings since covid, so +4 yrs old. Some of the lighting could also be adjusted to reduce glare. That aside, we really enjoyed the experience and recommend it.

Amazing experience..well worth a visit! Took us more than the suggested hour to make our way around the exhibit and fully experience everything artvo had to offer! Beautiful artworks and incredible pictures. Make sure your phone is fully charged and plenty of storage before you go!! Highly recommend Artvo as a place to visit!!

We went with our grandchildren - a two hour trip from regional victoria - as a special school holiday treat. First Artvo is very hard to locate once you get off the tram. The Signage is poor, and the writing tiny. Nor, when we finally found it, were toilets attached... an important consideration for families with children when travelling long distances. It would have been good to have a cafe attached, rather than having to hunt down food somewhere else in the vicinity and then hope to find our way back... the signage problem again... As for Artvo itself? We get the concept... that this is how movies are made and how special effects could work. It's a brilliant idea. But here was an opportunity missed beyond the initial 'wow' factor of the first room. There is so much more you could do... moving images, lightshows... but the entire venture looks tired. The paint work is wearing out, there was a physical hole in a wall where someone had punched through, and as we proceeded through each room it was all a bit the same, and same again. And then there was the problem of leaving the vicinity... hard to work out which was is the exit we want and indeed, which is the way out? Where are the safety features, the exit signs? the legal things one needs to ensure the public is able to find their way if there is an emergency. All in all the docklands venue was a rabbit warren, a maze,... bleak, tired... with very little good signage. And as for the Artvo display... well guys you are raking in the dollars, how about developing and improving your product? Or relocating it to a friendlier, safer space?

Incredible artwork, easy to access venue, it was a little hard going with additional needs children, there were lots of people while we there, it can sound quite loud and there is an audio echo and it was quite very full on at the time we were there. Would have liked to see an audio link made available to download prior to arrival, to show how to do the photos, as having to wait to see the picture on the floor to pose the photos correctly was quite difficult in a crowd and while others were standing there and also others waiting their turn this made it very difficult, there is also a need for a break out space or sensory space we were told prior that you weren’t allowed to take in drinks or snacks. Quite a few (thankfully small) meltdowns, well worth the $20 a head

This is a great place to go if you like having fun and enjoy being in photos. Children would very much enjoy it, but adults were fully engaged as well. The artwork is amazing and some of the photos look very real. We did think that $30 per person was a little overpriced. However we enjoyed the hour we were there.

Glass of wine holding by my husband, train door should be open to make more realistic view. More views can be added like wildlife or tracking sites. Overall fantastic experience

Had a fabulous time at ArtVo thoroughly recommend especially if you’re a family or group. We were a couple but several people were kind enough to offer to take our photo. Certainly worth spending a couple of hours to enjoy fun experience.

So much fun! Really enjoyed the whole gallery and got loads of cool photos. Would be cool with a small group ie 3-4 people as it was only me and my daughter so all our photos are of either her or me but with a group you could make some really funny group poses! We still had a blast though! Highly recommend.
