We went here recently with a work group and had such a fantastic time. We did both the Mexican Cartel room and the Insane Asylum rooms and both groups had a great time. Great team bonding activity and so many laughs. And our game master was awesome

A very nice, well equipped, friendly venue that puts on really slick first class theatrical performances. Good lighting, decent sound, decent seating, and a reasonably priced refreshment stand with decent wines. It is close to a major parking garage and not too far away from public transport (ferries, trains, buses). It is also in the restaurant district so plenty of places to eat and drink, before and after the performance. One of the best theatres I've been to anywhere in the world.

This wonderful historic church was gutted by fire, and a beautiful job has been done of creating a modern place of peace and worship filled with natural light, encased in the original sandstone facade and stained glass. Perfect for the modern Parramatta in the cradle of modern Australia

Really enjoy Saturday night skids at Sydney Speedway. I first went there in the late seventies and was a regular visitor when I lived in Sydney. On my trips to Sydney I always try to squeeze in a sprintcar show. In fact I will once again be in Sydney for this years opening night on September 30. This is a great value night of family entertainment in a well run venue that the promoters are continually upgrading. Great racing good food offer and easily accessed by car or public transport. Some of the best weekly sprintcar racing outside of the USA.

Reviewed By no1_rabbit - Sydney, Australia
Its so close to Parramatta area, short drive which took less than 5mins. We visited the place on Saturday afternoon around 130pm and was very busy and car park was packed. You can have BBQ, picnic, swim, canoe, paddle boat or bush walk. There are 3 different tracks you can do bush walk, She-Oak track(1.55km) is a easy walk along the lake edge, Banksia track(2.45km) is a moderate walk with uneven surfaces and you walk along the eastern edge taking in views of the lake, Lake Circuit(4.20km) is the most challenging track, some parts are a bit steep climb. We did the She-Oak track and did a bit of the Lake Circuit to explore the rainforest part. There was a cafe that you can order food, drinks and ice cream. We enjoyed the place so much and amazed that is in the middle of Parramatta!!

Located in Parramatta - First experience watching the NRL at this stadium. Parramatta vs St George. The seating was fantastic. Given the structure of the stadium I feel there is no real disadvantage to sitting in any location throughout the stadium. The facilities were clean and spacious and the food and bars were plentiful so the queues were not actually too long. My experience was made better by the fact that St George did win this game.
