Free Leisure Experience Pass with Any 2x Mentos Products Purchased @ Woolworths

1453

Spotted this deal when I was browsing the Woolies lolly aisle. Best Melbourne venue on offer IMO is Legoland Discovery Centre in Chadstone, VIC – tickets are usually $26-$32.50. There are some other very good options as zhanggg mentioned here.

Update: Many venues have had their allocation exhausted, so please check before purchasing Mentos (and redeem quickly!).

Woolies has Mentos rolls on special 10/4 - 16/4 for $1, so it makes for a great deal. I uploaded a mobile scan of my receipt, and received the unique code email within a minute.

    That last condition is a bit of a bummer (only one voucher redeemable per group), but not a big deal if you are going to Legoland alone :)

    For those in VIC, you can also get entry to Eureka Skydeck (normally $23), entry to Melbourne Aquariuim (normally $42), a couple of different river cruises and a tour of the Carlton Brewhouse (normally $32).

    • +3

      Keep in mind you can't go to Legoland alone, need a kiddo with you. Except on special nights.

      • +1

        Ah ha – didn't know about their requirements:

        Please note adults must be accompanied by a child (under 18 years), and children must be accompanied by an adult (18+ years) to visit LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre, during standard opening hours. Children under 3 visit for free.

        We want you to have the best time, so during busy peak periods, we are limiting the total number of guests in the centre. During these times guests can enjoy up to 3 hours of bricktastic fun! In off-peak times, guests can spend as long as they like in the centre.

        • +6

          I guess only 18 year olds can go in alone.

          • @MrRe: No if you are 18 you are adult so need child… noone can go alone.

            Can we get multiple vouchers on 1 email address?

            • +1

              @Bryanalves: Actually not true… when we went in last time which was ~1.5 years ago (5 adults, 4 kids from 6yo to 13yo) we were worried about this adult/child policy. Asking at counter the lady said "technically 13+ can go in by themselves, 16+ counts as "adults" if they want to bring younger siblings along and it's fine for all of you to go in together")

              If I had to guess, I'd say the policy is more to "make it for families" (which is a bit silly IMHO.) I heard they do "adult nights" for those without ankle biters to get in on their own… but no flip side to that (can't drop your kid off there like "child care" while you shop) ;)

    • +5

      A single free ticket is also handy for those who have a Companion/Carer Card (such as me) – means both people can get in for free.

      I guess one could also enter the venue separately, and then just reunite later on (if the group members are old enough etc).

  • +1

    Melbourne Aquarium tickets are good value too, $42 full price (haha no).

    It's a nice relaxed experience, just not worth more than $15 imo.

    • +2

      I heard the vegans were lining up for hours to get into there?

    • +1

      Melbourne Aquarium seems to no longer be available :(

      • Was going for this, now diverted to Legoland

  • Luna Park twilight pass is pretty good for Sydney

    • -1

      Anyone knows if there would be issues if two people on the Luna Park rides “individually” rather than as a “group”

  • +2

    Where can you see the list of "experiences" please?

    why isn't one of the experiences dumping a wheel barrow of mentos into a bath tub of coke?

  • +7

    Perth has a twilight cruise worth $35, not bad!

    I wonder how they could enforce the ticket rules, if 2 people book separately…

    • +3

      My thoughts exactly.

    • -1

      Staff will be looking out for signs of prior contact

      • +1

        Yes because it's not like they're busy themselves doing their job…

        They're going to look into their crystal ball, determine "yes, we need to watch this group from before they walk up to the counter, which we can't see from this booth, just to see if they separate."

  • Is two people considered a "group"?

    • Presumably – I guess contacting the venue as Mentos advised is a good idea, as it may differ between each place

    • +1

      always thought more than 3 is a group.

      based off this.

      2 is a couple, pair
      3 is threesome
      4 is well group s..

      • +5

        Three is what Lauren of MAFS wanted

  • Is it any two products or only mentos packs? Mentos website says packs

    • +1

      I was confused about this too, but I purchased two Mentos rolls, and they accepted it. The Woolies staff person also confirmed it's any two products.

      Also, on the Upload Receipt page, it says:

      Your Proof of Purchase is your Woolworths receipt showing the purchase of two mentos products

      • Thanks

        • Pleasure!

  • +1

    A Group is a number of people or things that are located, gathered, or classed together.

    2 a group unfortunately .

    Book separately .

    Great deal OP .

    • Glad to help!

  • +3

    Only one (1) eVoucher may be used per venue per group

    Bit of a bummer but if you go in a pair then it's still 50% off.

    • agreed - ends up being 25%-50% off thing depending on how many friends you want to do an activity with

    • +1

      Walk in separately for some attractions like aquarium?

      • for things like aquariums that's do-able but not for group activities :(

  • Any restrictions on dates or weekday/weekend usage?

  • Anyone else having trouble 'viewing the experiences'? It's just a blank white square with a modify search button, lol.

    • +1

      Same here. Had to turn off my ad blocker for it to work

      • Thought it might be that too, so turned it off but it's still the same unfortunately.

        • Some of the drop-down-choice options (eg NSW - Wildlife) do not work for me, but others do (eg Vic - Wildlife).
          I think it's a glitch with their system.

    I have family of 5. Interested in luna park twilight. Could I send each kid up to kiosk. One kid is 2 years old.

    • -1

      Under 3 should be free entry

  • Bit confusing- can I buy multiple two packs of Mentos and get Multiple different experiences? Can't see where it says one entry pp

    • Just go through self-service and do them separately

      • But it's fine for "Mr Food" to enter multiple times?

        • We're still not sure how different tickets would go for a group (walking in separately)

  • Would anyone please be able to list the NSW experiences? I can't seem to view them :(

    • far too many to list.

            @Frankenbeanie: If you remove Zumba, grasshopper soccer, and Ceroc Modern Jive Dancing, then for NSW there's basically:

            * Paintball @ Newcastle or Baldivis

              • Escape room @ Virtual Room Sydney [min 2 players]

              Now I understand why they only allow 1 voucher per group

  • +5

    So if a couple buys 4 of mentos, 2 each on individual receipts and plans to visit the ballarat zoo and enter alone as an individual how are these guys ever going to figure out!!??

    • +2

      My thoughts exactly. I doff my cap to you sir.

    • +1

      You will be unable to speak to your partner for the entire experience. Staff will be watching

      • +2

        If they have got staff to check who is talking to whom after patrons have entered,then it's more money lost hiring that staff and enforcing the terms than couples who would try and get 2 vouchers for entering the Zoo (or any other attraction)

  • +3

    If i buy more lets say four mentos rolls, can i then book two different experiences? Or is it just one experience per person ?

    • +1

      Customers can use the unique code on the Promotional Website to claim an experience eVoucher. Limit of one (1) eVoucher per person, per venue, per day.

  • +2

    I am organising a mid season outing with my sons junior rugby club. I'll take them to lunar park. I'll have to buy 48 Mentos. How likely do you think staff will enforce the no group policy if each kid fronts the counter in 90 second increments given they will be wearing their club colours?

    • Literally made me lol :D

  • +1

    Luna Park not available any more.

    • +5

      Wtf nor is Rottnest Express twilight cruise in WA

      Either people went crazy on this today, or they decided to pull them before they could

      Well sorry but this deal just went average :/

        Yeh was planning to organise buying them tomorrow

        Just bought 6 packs in anticipation of the cruise… now it’s gone from the website! Anyone want some mentos?

    • Is that Luna Park Sydney?

  • +2

    The wheel of brisbane is decent. Normally $22 a ticket and can go alone.

  • Otway Fly a great deal.

  • +2

    Virtual Room in sydney sounds interesting. but shame min 2 people and can only redeem 1 … booo!
    anyone has experience with this venue?

    • Sounds like a buy one ticket and get the second one for $2 for that deal.

      • Do you have the link where it says that?

  • Has anyone received their experience voucher yet ?

    • +1

      No

    • Yes

  • Adelaide Zoo disappeared from list 😕

  • +4

    Booooo, Eureka Skydeck and the Aquarium (both VIC) are already gone!

    • +1

      Yep I bought the mentos early this morning but didn't have a chance to redeem during my lunch break. Was happy for do either eureka skydeck, aquarium, or lego land. None of those are now available along with phillip island and a few others.

    • +4

      Update; the list is getting slimmer by the hour for VIC. Here's what's now available.

      • Otway Fly Treetop Walk
      • Delta Force Paintball- Melbourne
      • Echuca Laser Tag
      • Echuca (Splat Attack) Paintball
      • Escape Hunt Melbourne
      • Kryal Castle
      • The Comics Lounge
      • And a heap of Grasshopper Soccer places all over.

      Unless they restock the better venues, there's no point buying more Mentos rolls for this promo.

      • +2

        Even less options now, mainly Soccer, 1 Escape room and Kryal Castle left

        • +1

          Yep there is literally nothing now other than soccer for kids and escape room which requires 2 people. Booked the moonlit sanctuary which was like my 6th choice.

          • @gottacatchemall: The sanctuary was on our list, but now it's gone too, only things left for adults in Vic are not suitable (paintball or escape room).
            What is Woolies policy on returning mentos?

            • @Wolfy: Should be able to return them – I've returned similar items in the past

  • +2

    For those wondering, the page will throw you back to the main website in lieu of a "Selection Successful"-type of page (after inputting the code and selecting the venue). Instead, they'll email you saying you'll get the voucher within 3 days.

  • +2

    just bought 6 packs to find Adelaide Zoo no longer on the list :( good thing they are only $1

    • I don't know why people are negging your comment. It was a good deal for me and many others, but it was also a bad deal for those who didn't get in quick enough to snap up the scarce vouchers.

      • Probably because of this:

        Inappropriate uses of negative vote:

        • Expired/Out of Stock.
        • If you come along late in the piece, sure. But this deal has't been great for many because of the seemingly tiny stock of good vouchers, like the old days of Flight Centre advertising a bargain airfare, when they only had one such fare to sell.

          • @JohnHowardsEyebrows: On the other hand, there's been a lot of clicks and thus redemptions – people shouldn't expect stock to be endless, just like with any physical product. It'd be like me negging a deal because I bought a 5% off gift card for a deal, but the store ran out of stock before I could use it. Due diligence is always needed to check for stock before a purchase contingent on it is made.

            Or maybe that's just me.

  • +4

    Seems like lets say on a national campaign they had like 100 tickets for each attraction ( no where near enough for the major attractions demand) . Mentos I think never stated how many tickets and the happenings now is people buying them on the false illusion of getting a major attraction that's gone and basically crap nobody wants is all that remains .

    The people buying now have every right to neg in my opinion with the false illusion of a free major attraction ticket .

    • +2

      Before I purchased the Mentos, I checked the attractions while I was still in Woolies to make sure I'd be happy with them. Looking at the in-store advertising and brochure, I can see Mentos don't make any claims about the type of attractions offered. The deal was up for 9 hours (and on the front page for around 8) before the first report of a venue being out of stock. I'd venture a good number of people were able to redeem their preferred venue. I've seen many front page OzBargain deals that have run out of stock within minutes meaning I often miss out, but that's par for the course on here.

      • +1

        I think because there was a half page add was in the woolies catalog this week that more people saw it and claimed
        Ozbargainers had plenty of time to get it

  • +6

    I think Mentos did a HN . Major attractions fell in less than 24 hrs . So no where near decent ticket levels .

    Not you fault OP , blame is with Mentos .

    Worst is all the poor people buying Mentos up till 28 th May where the promotion ends .

    Really is a slimy act .
