    Visited Infinity with 4 older teenagers and had expectations of an overpriced, boring waste of an hour - how wrong I was. I was mesmerised from the first 'room' and had an absolute ball, laughing at myself and all the members of our group.
    It is hard to describe Infinity - suffice to say, it is a unique experience and one that should not be missed!

     If you are visiting the Gold Coast you simply owe it to yourself to come to this one of a kind attraction!

    I had read the reviews before my holiday and was VERY MUCH looking forward to it! Because of Infinity's unique nature it can be hard to describe it, hence my partner's initial reticence based on my lame attempt, garnered from the aforementioned reviews. Once we arrived and entered however, he changed his mind instantly!


    As for my review, all I can say is what Infinity was for US. We were lucky enough to visit at a quiet time in the evening and thus had the place pretty much to ourselves. What we found was a series of rooms (not so much a "maze" as some people have called it since each room flows on from the next, although it may take a minute or so to find the concealed door) each themed to different effect using mirrors, lights, lasers, music, sound effects, different surfaces, props, altered scales and various levels of illumination. Our favourites included the room which makes you feel like you are inside a giant computer (I kept thinking, "This is what Tron must feel like!")With strings of "electrons" flashing all around you. The other was the immediately following "space" room where the effect is of being completely surrounded by stars in the blackness of night. I just wanted to sit down in the middle of the floor and imagine myself floating in space with nothing else around me. Simply BREATHTAKING! Our only complaint with this room was that the new agey music was, at times a bit too loud. We theorized that this must be to drown out the sounds of the previous corridor with its "alien" theme.


    The place is just INCREDIBLE and as you are drawn further in your senses of play and adventure are aroused and excited. As a person who works with elderly people with dementia I am keenly aware of the need for adults to play. I am also aware of the effects of various sensory stimuli and what this can do for the mind through the use of "snoezelen rooms". Infinity is just a much larger and more elaborate version of this proven technique and as such, I can say its effect was palpable, exciting and eminently successful - so much so that we returned a few nights later to enjoy it, alone, all over again! I would HEARTILY recommend this incredible attraction to people of all ages with a slight caveat for children younger than, say, eight or children with phobias to do with darkness or claustrophobia.
