A fantastic venue for the kids, many painted scenes of all different things just add the subject and you have a brilliant photo. It took us just over an hour to walk through the display however entry fee lets you go through as many times as you wish. A great experience for the family with lots of funny photos.
Attached are some scenes without any persons in them.

You know when you go into the zoo or aquarium and they want to take your photo then superimpose over a picture? This place is kind of like that. You stand in front of many paintings (like more than 50) and take photos using your camera in the spots they recommend and hey presto instant family photos. We spent a few hours here, took heaps of photos with our 3 kids up to 12. Boring not mentioned by any of them, so that’s a good start. We had a great time - one kid had a phone so it wasn’t always us. Yes it can be crowded but way better than I thought.

There is a employees, who try to find me every time I go to a new room to took picture for me. His name is Wai, fortunately for a lonely guys like me, he was there that day. The whole experience just go up another level because of him. And the art is very impressive, Art is not just images is an expression of the artists feeling, and I think they few really pump up when create them

Had a fun time with my 13 year old grandson taking pictures of ourselves in the 3D environment. It's on the pricey side so you may want to see if there are any Groupon coupons for it. The families with younger children really seemed to be having great fun. The gallery is near the Melbourne Star Ferris wheel in the Docklands and easy to reach by tram from the city.

Absolutely love this venue. Students love the interactive art and I love how the staff take their time to explain to international students the concept of this venue. You can get a pass out which is handy given there are no toilets in the building this in in

This is really an experience to share with a group of friends. I went solo which was ok and the staff joined in to make it more interesting; so you can go along and they will assist you to take photos; but there really would be a lot of fun to be had with at least one other person or a group. Just spend time walking around and checking out the artwork and then incorporating yourself and merging into the works. Have fun

The art is quite real and I have a great time with my family. I think you should come with at leat 4-5 people to take a better picture. Not recommend to come alone as the picture may look a bit weirdif taking alone.

This place blew my mind ! We casually strolled by and noticed it was open late last night and decided to give it a go. So glad we did! Had the best time taking hilarious and incredible photos. The artist is a genius! Also a very special mention to Kenny for being the best photographer and taking the time to go through the poses. Absolute legend. The other 2 gentlemen that were there too were so lovely and helpful too! Can't wait to come back with the some more friends and do it all over again !

Artvo was a great place to visit with my husband and adult children. We had fun posing and taking heaps of photos. There were plenty of helpful staff around so we could get photos with the whole family included.

What is the history of artvo?

Information about the history of ARTVO can be found by googling keywords 'history artvo' & following the link.
Sorry I tried to post it here but guidelines prevent it.
I was told when we were there in July that it would be closing in August for a complete revamp over a couple of months. Best to check if open before heading there!

Will a weekday early afternoon a better time to take photos in ArtVo than school holidays and weekends due to people traffic?

Well it depends on what type of person you are, a week day would be better for you if you prefer to take a calm series of photos without accedental photobombers but if you feel like your personality pops more around other People then I would advise going on a weekend. One note though the last scene at artvo is for a panda in a tree but many young children are tiered by the end and we found that we couldn't take a photo there because all the children were sitting on the fake bamboo

Is there anything like this in the United States? I live in San Diego and don't know when I'll have a chance to visit.

Sorry, I don't think there is. I've checked on-line and the only places I can find a Trick 3D Art Gallery are Melbourne in Australia, Den Pasar in Bali, Indonesia and Rotorua, New Zealand. You'll have to take a holiday!

Hello there
We normally recommend visitors allow 1.5-2 hours to be safe, however, as the gallery is broken up into different themes/zones, the pace will ultimately be decided by yourself.
