ArtVo is an immersive art or ‘trick art’ gallery, where you are encouraged to touch the art and become part of the art by taking photographs from designated points on the floors of the gallery. ArtVo is proud to unveil its biggest transformation since opening. Featuring more that 40 brand-new hand-painted interactive artworks, visitors are invited to immerse themselves into extraordinary destinations, iconic landmarks, cultural wonders, famous paintings and larger-than-life adventures. With over 11 themed zones, visitors can explore large interactive 3D artworks painted directly onto the walls and floors just minutes from Melbourne CBD. Getting to ArtVo is easy. Catch the tram- the FREE City Circle (35), 70 or 86 tram- to Waterfront City/Docklands stop D11 or jump in the car and head to The District Docklands East or West multi-level car parks, where parking is easy.
Once arriving at ArtVo, you will receive a short introduction which explains how the gallery works and the best way to capture your Instagram worthy photos! You can spend as long as you like inside ArtVo, but visitors generally require 2 hours to experience the entire gallery. Staff are on hand through the entire journey to provide inspiration with how to pose, to ensure that you are able to take the best possible photos. ArtVo provides the ultimate fun and unique destination, allowing for amazing photos and memories to be had, for all, both young and young at heart. Some favourites include taking a ride in a gondola through a Venetian canal or even getting your own set of angel wings. By posting on Instagram & Facebook using the #artvo_melbourne like thousands of others have done, you will have the opportunity to be reposted onto our Social Media account, to show off your amazing image!

Had a great time especially finding the extras for a gift and have and would and have recommend artvov to go and visit with all my friends. Especially with there kids !! Even after I pipped my rib o the boat I still enjoyed my experience.
1. We left our bag behind the counter, best idea as we were not lugging it around. 2. Go to the toilet before hand as there is not one specifically inside of ArtVo 3. Young children may get bored quickly as our 4yr old did. 4. Get the kids to take photos of you in the exhibits, it adds a different perspective. 5. Be prepared to pose like your life depended on it.
High quality art to interact with, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great experience and fun photos, but a bit expensive, in my opinion, for the time spent (1 hour).
We didn't know what to expect but had a really fun time. Took so many photos, and the staff were ready to help make our experience even better. We were there for more than an hour, we lost track of time. Do yourself a favour and go have some fun!
Great family day out. Lots of fun experiencing the themes and capturing the 3d image. Our age group was between 4 and 70 and we all enjoyed the activity.
It is a fantastic activity for any group. Remember to charge your phone before you come😂There are so many images for you to take photos of and update your profile!🤣
If I could give this less than 1 star I would. We were the first customers there at opening on a Tuesday. The male staff remember charged us the entry fee and allowed us to enter. Never told us that a massive school group was just about to enter. We had our 4 year old with us. Now I had absolutely no issue with school groups coming through, I think it’s a fabulous experience for school groups. However, staff should let us paying customers know as I would not have entered. Or, maybe book a section of the day just for school groups. We did not enjoy the experience at all because of this. We had just stayed and taken 2-3 photos of our 4 year old and were having fun when we heard a lot of shouting and screaming and about 30 plus kids started running toward us. My 4 year old was scared and didn’t want her photo taken anymore as these kids were running an absolute mock, running in front of us when trying to take pics and pushing in to have pics taken and spending ages at each wall to all have their pics taken. They were disgracefully rude and the teachers were doing absolutely nothing. No control over them what so ever. I had to yell at the children to be quiet and get out of our way. We told a female staff remember midway through and she just laughed as us. Upon exciting I told the male staff member that charged us at the beginning and he EVENTUALLY refunded us. Hopefully he passed the constructive feedback on to block out sessions for school groups OR have the courtesy to tell paying customers that a school group is about to barge through. The school was McKinnon Primary. Another group with their child was in there at the same time who spoke to us about the group and were equally disgusted. Hopefully they received a refund too. It is also grossly over priced, $20 would sum it up.
Thank you for your feedback as customer satisfaction is of utmost importance to us. We are sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. We completely understand how frustrating it would have been that you were unable to fully experience the gallery. We do limit the number of people inside the gallery at any one time but some photo positions and zones can be very popular. We encourage patrons to move freely to the next room(s) and then return to the photo point that was busy. We also offer a pass out stamp for those who would like a break and return to the gallery at any one time on the same day. Please be assured that we are taking the steps to rectify the situation and to avoid any similar issues in the future. We do hope to see you again for an improved experience. Kind regards, Team Artvo.
Friendly staff making sure great photos are taken from the perfect angle for amazing experience and memories to take home.
Fantastic interaction- so much fun and encourages creativity…definitely recommend!
While staying in the Docklands area we decided to go into Artvo. We walked up to the desk and instead of welcoming us, the staff member said nothing. I asked if I could pay for my family. He took my money and then pointed us through the door with zero instruction or information. In the first room, a staff member was standing there. I asked her if she could explain what we do. ArtVo was completely new to us. She offered to take a photo but didn't tell us what ArtVo actually was or what we should do while walking around. There were mostly spots on the floor that showed you where to stand to take photos. A few of these had sample photos stuck to the floor. Some sample photos didn't match the artwork though. At the exit we saw a photo wall that enlightened us about how some photos were actually meant to be taken. So we went back inside to retake several photos. How were we supposed to know with zero instructions? There were minimal staff and they all looked completely bored and didn't put any effort into interacting with guests. Some pictures need maintenance too - for example, at one point there is a hole in the wall. There are many ways visitors could be guided -- a video, an explanation, a pamphlet or even an app. There could be a QR code at each artwork to demonstrate how to take the photo. It's a shame because my children did love the experience and we stayed roughly one hour but we all agreed it could have been much better. I can only assume it has gone downhill a lot since it opened 10 years ago.
