Kid-friendly Things-To-Do in Melbourne

Tourism Australia has ‘spied’ some of the best kid-friendly pit stops and activities for families to ‘spy’ on their next city trip.

I spy a Dino laboratory

For palaeontology obsessed kids take them to experience Melbourne Zoo’s new Dino Lab to explore giant animatronic dinosaurs, become junior palaeontologists, and observe baby dinosaurs in the zoo’s care!

I spy an interactive oasis

Reopening on 11th February, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is the perfect pit stop for kids to learn about some of their favourite pastimes from film and TV, to video games!

I spy a gondola ride

For the ultimate birds-eye view and ‘I Spy’ vantage point of Melbourne take the kids to Arthurs Seat Eagle. The 30-minute (return) gondola ride offers views from Melbourne to Port Phillips Bay.

I spy a garden

Take little ones to The Ian Potter Foundation Children’s Garden at the Royal Botanical Gardens Victoria. The garden is perfect for kids that like to get their hands dirty with separate areas to explore (from a Bamboo Forest, to a Kitchen Garden and the Ruin Garden) as well as interactive educational offerings to help kids learn through exploration and play.
