Testimonials

'This is a hidden gem for people with young children. They have a whole station with markers, colouring sheets, interactive tablets and crosswords. And it's air conditioned! It was a great way for our toddler to unwind and have a breather during a busy day out.'

Madeleine - Metro Tunnel HQ visitor

'I recently visited the Melbourne Metro Tunnel HQ and I must say it was a great experience. The staff there were knowledgeable and informative, and the displays were interesting and engaging. The tunnel project itself is impressive and the HQ did a great job of explaining everything in detail.'
