Chelsea Bay Visitors Centre has a rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on over 12 reviews on Google

Great place to spend a few hours with kids. The cafe is in a great location. it’s super crowded at busy hours like breakfast and brunch time on weekends; but it totally worth it. The activity center is free for kids play. Limited activities, but still good. They also have real baking activities for groups of children that is very fun for them.

The baking classes are highly recommended, such a fun learning activity, and you are taught by a professional baker. I felt like I was on MasterChef. The Pavlova Roulade class was fab and have booked the Lamington course next.

Did the 1hr full tour. Great tour with a lovely tour guide. Nice mix of videos, train ride and wandering around

Awesome place to visit. It was a labour weekend open day. Beautiful spot by the sea with views across yo the harbour bridge and city. Great play ground and picnic area The kitchen was open and showed all the cooking courses they did. It looked amazing!

My daughter did the baking class yesterday and she thoroughly enjoyed it. When we came in to pick her up the lady teaching it was so kind. What's nice is that onsite there is a lovely cafe and a playground. It meant our four year old (too young for the baking class) was able to have lunch with us and play on playground while we waited for baking class to conclude. The cafe is very nice and the meals come out so promptly! They do good kiddie waffles and I enjoyed my poached eggs. They also have their butter softened enough to spread on toast which I appreciated - some places overlook small details like that. Lovely decor and all around a hidden gem that I didn't know existed across the shore. Set in such a beautiful reserve.
