The Alice Cocktail Immersive Experience is now in Canberra!

We were invited along recently to the Canberra location of The Alice Cocktail Experience to review it for our Canberra Instagrams, Canberra Locals and Canberra Bucketlist.

Of course we were eager to attend. After all, a themed Alice In Wonderland Cocktail event with theatre and intrigue? Are you MAD?! Who could say no to such a whimsical idea. Off with their heads!

Family Friendly Alice sessions for the kids

The Alice Cocktail Experience would make the perfect girlfriend get together excuse or a (un)birthday celebration or present – but for us it was a Canberra family fun afternoon! On weekends there are family friendly sessions where kids aged under 18 are welcome and you can opt for Mocktails for the children – and yourself as well if you prefer non-alcoholic concoctions of course! Everyone gets to enjoy this experience.

Held at the Zoo Bar in Canberra, The Alice experience happens upstairs in a specially curated space. A transformed Wonderland stuffed to the brim with – well, Alice in Wonderland-themed objects of course!

Alice in Wonderland glorious madness

It’s easy to believe that you’ve tumbled down the rabbit hole! Teapots and roses are strung from the ceiling, old-fashioned dressers groan under the weight of a host of fascinating oddities. A giant apple core here, an ivy-covered tree with Cheshire Eyes peering out there. Fairy lights are simply everywhere, and you find yourself drinking it all in, in delight. Curiouser and curiouser!

Cosplay for the event is optional, but we loved that it was an excuse to dress up in the Alice theme because it’s just so fun and cute. Pink hearts and psychedelia fit right in for once! There’s so many opportunities for awesome photos at the experience thanks to the plethora of Alice paraphernalia.

The grinning Cheshire Cat presides over the activities (and indeed, even becomes a part of them) from one leaf-encrusted wall, whilst a giant suit of Queen of Hearts playing cards dominates another. Seemingly suspended over a brocade sofa just perfect for a Wonderland curated Instagram shot!

Once you are seated (we almost sat on the Dormouse!), the fun begins with fully costumed actors bursting forth to hold you spellbound with their interpretations of the Alice tale.

Sit back and enjoy the show, then join in the fun and immerse yourself in whipping up your own Alice themed Teapot cocktails (or Mocktails in the family-friendly sessions on weekends like we did). Two bespoke cocktails are included.

Solve mysterious riddles and devour an Eat Me cupcake. We’re all Mad here! Don’t worry if you get stuck – The Mad Hatter, The Wonderland Court Judge, Queen Of Hearts, March Hare and White Rabbit are all there to help you along the way.

It’s Alice in Wonderland meets escape room, and it all adds up to a magically good time. But it’s only in Canberra for a limited time! Step through the looking glass to this alternate reality – and book now!
