  Not very interesting this year as mainly tulips were on display. Future events should include more interactive things to do or even a sculpture in the middle made out of flowers. The stores were ok but like some prices are a bit high.

  Daytime experience with kids: Food prices- $14 for fish and chips, $8/$12 burgers, $12 fairy floss bag, $4+ Streets ice creams, $7 fish taco etc carnival sort of prices. Loads of pretty tulips (mostly tulips), hamster ball/floating clear ball things for kids were fun ($12/turn), other rides are limited to slide, Ferris wheel ($8 each or 4 for $30), laughing clowns ($10 for 2 turns), spinning tea cups and train. Free reptile petting which was great. Lots of stores but we didn't go to any. Kids scooters need to be stored ie. you can't have them in the area.

  Where was the magnificent, grand display of flowers cascading in beds from the visitors centre to the play ground?

  No raised desks to view the beds. Only way to see the pictures is to go up higher - Ferris Wheel.

  This is a tulip festival. It shows about 20 beds of very similar tulips. It has some shops that sell things designed for tourists such as honey, Australian wool and leather belts. You can do the Floriade in 45 mins. Only positive is that it's free. Good luck.

  Liked that the stalls etc were spread about, but they should not be the view.

  4 stars. A nice day out, very crowded and filled with very slow walkers. Could definitely easily be improved on through bubblers, more activities. Parking can be difficult. Good range of food - can be expensive.

  3 stars. I go every year and it's honestly just not what it was when I went as a child. It would be awesome if they tried to go beyond past years. There's a lot to do for kids, I'm sure it meets the expectations of adults, but I think young adults and teens could be a fruitful untapped market. Maybe a nightfest targeted at young adults?

  Felt basically that whomever has forgotten that people come to see the flowers. A bit like the former Auspost CEO forgetting his job was to deliver the mail.
