    Relaxing
    Was the wet season and 2 of the restaurants are closed . However the weather is still balmy , warm and nice . Casino is very quiet . Perfect getaway if you want the place to yourself .

    Perfect
    We definitely wanted to check this out and booked for Indiana Jones. It sold out so best to book early. Got there early and there was a lengthy line already. No problems though plenty of deck chairs and comfy cushions to go around. The food this night was a variety of Indian and it was magnificent. Drinks very reasonably priced. The screen big and clear as was the sound. What a perfect night. We really loved it. Will visit again.

    Nightcliff Swimming Pool
    No wonder I couldn’t find this place on TripAdvisor. It’s being referred to as an Aquatic Centre.

    This pool has been a family favourite on our trips to Darwin and I have fond memories learning to swim here and less fond memories of school swimming carnivals.

    Overlooking the cliffs at Nightcliff with views out to sea and to the distant Casuarina Beach. The sea breezes on hot afternoons and the shaded seating areas make this a great place to visit, relax and cool down.

    The building and facilities are basic, largely unchanged since the 1970s (I was there), but it’s enough. Change rooms with showers and toilets and a small kiosk for drinks and snacks but not a lot else. Come prepared.

    The adult entry fee is $4, which I think is great value.

    There’s a little pool for the babies and toddlers with a central fountain feature too. The pool team do run classes and some lanes can be hired and closed off. There’s usually at least one area left fully open. Call ahead if you have any concerns.

    Great fun for families of all ages
    Nice simple but fun putt putt layout that is suitable for all ages. It is priced pretty well too. Golf range facilities looked good too.

    Worth a visit.

    Silks
    Passed through Fannie Bay today and noticed how much it had changed.There is a new Silks Club there which is very up market. The area looks so much better than my first visit when I worked behind the bar at the Darwin Cup in 1987.

    Haunted Circus
    What a fantastic experience and asset for Darwin. We had a fantastic time solving the haunted circus room which was age appropriate for our 10 and 13 year old. Staff were very friendly and professional. We can't wait to go back and try the other rooms.

    Great for kids parties
    This place isnt as new as some of the other fun centres around darwin for kids but value for money wise it is a clear winner and by far the best.We went for my ten year olds birthday party with 4 of his mates and the kids had a ball, no issues with bringing your own food and drinks along and the kids had a great time. Would definitely recommend Zone 3 and have since been told they have a awesome school holidays deal that is on every school holidays so worth checking out, will be back on the next school holidays for sure!!!

    Darwin's only courts
    Sadly, these are Darwin's only squash courts. In saying that, they're not too busy, are reasonably priced and have excellent facilities. Staff are OK.
