This is a great activity for a rainy, cold day. The whole family enjoyed learning about the chocolate-making experience - from cocoa bean to finished product. There are interactive displays and interactive puzzles and games. You can make your own chocolate and see chocolates being made and packaged in the factory. It's not cheap but good fun and we all enjoyed it a great deal.

Approximate cost: $36.00

We visited Phillip Island on a wet, cold weekend and needed family-friendly, indoors (as well as outdoors) activities. Amze'N Things had something for everyone in the whole family - Mum, Dad, 9yo daughter and 7yo son. We particularly liked the mirror maze (inside), optical illlusions (inside) and the outside maze (we got lost several times until we were driven inside by the rain). Afterwards, we enjoyed Chocolatte Cafe and picked up some sweet treats from the Sweets shop. All in all the trip cost about $100, including entry fee and cafe/lolly shop.
