I spy a devil
Book ahead to see Tasmanian Devils up-close at the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. On the private three-hour night tour families will not only be able to help feed the animals, but also tour the wildlife hospital.
I spy a poo museum
Richmond’s Pooseum is a unique science museum, and the only one in the world, solely dedicated to animal droppings. Once visitors get past the inevitable giggles, the Pooseum has interactive exhibits to educate visitors on the world of poo. From the Digestion Room, to PooTube and the Pootrid Shop this will be one pitstop the kids won’t stop telling their friends about.
I spy a horse drawn carriage
Spend a morning in Salamanca, after heading up the historic Kelly’s Steps on Kelly Street to Battery Point tour the neighbourhood in Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages passing by historic cottages that have been standing since the 1800’s.
I spy something to make
Although there is some adult-only content, the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) has some tested kid-friendly exhibits from the Musical Trampoline, Dot Obsession and Cloaca Professional by Wim Delwoye (aka. the poo machine). Not only is the museum itself a blast but if visitors arrive by the 30-minute MONA ROMA catamaran ride the fun starts before they arrive, with sheep sculptures acting as seats on the upper deck!
I spy an underground adventure
Take the kids away from the crowds to a combined dose of wonder and fresh air at the Hasting Caves and Thermal Springs, home to an expansive and ancient cave network. The guided tours from the Visitors Centre through the caves touch on the history and details, while tailoring content for children to ensure they are left in awe. Note in some sections there are no ramps for prams, however there are hand-rails that make carrying small kids doable.
