Parag Jain Amazing top down fountain with an alleyway to almost walk up to three middle of it - good to check out if youre in the area.. kids will really enjoy the visit.

marg willis Beautiful bush environment with big river gums and loads of birdlife and wildlife.

John Locke There is a lot of space for kids and friends to play, family gatherings, birthday parties, sunbathing, sports, picnic and dog walking. The BBQ facilities are clean. However, there is a lot of dust and flies because it is close to the road. Sunscreen and insect repellent are recommended.

Dr. Ramakant Rana Altona Miniature Railway is an absolute gem for families and train enthusiasts alike! The volunteer-run hobby club offers a delightful experience with its miniature train rides, perfect for both kids and adults who are young at heart. The beautifully maintained scaled diesel and steam engines provide a charming ride along the 1.5-kilometre track, surrounded by a welcoming and scenic environment. The passion and dedication of the volunteers shine through, making the experience even more special. Visiting on the third Sunday of the month is a treat, and it’s a fantastic way to spend a few hours with loved ones. The affordable prices and friendly atmosphere make it even better. Highly recommend this unique and nostalgic outing!

John Locke A beautiful park with a shallow river, appealing scenery of nature, cool winds and lovely animals. An kangaroo runs, a snake hides in the forest, some lizards dwell, birds sing, ducks swim, dogs walk and butterflies and bees fly by the flowers. The ants are busy. I can’t capture them all in photos. There is a trail for multiple uses: walking, running, walking the dogs and cycling. So, walk carefully and listen to the sounds of movement. I think the paved flat path is too narrow for both riding bikes and jogging at the same time. The trees and tall grass block the front view. Accidents can happen. Better apply insect repellent on your skin and clothes because flies fly with a high speed to approach food, drinks and people. Sunscreen is important when the UV level is high.

Daniel Cooks’ Cottage is such a fascinating stop within the stunning Fitzroy Gardens – one of those hidden gems that makes a stroll through the park even more special. Originally built in Yorkshire, England in 1755 by the parents of Captain James Cook, this little cottage has quite the story. Although Captain Cook never actually lived there, the connection to his family was strong enough for Sir Russell Grimwade to go to incredible lengths to bring it to Melbourne in 1934. Every single brick was carefully numbered, packed into barrels, and shipped across the globe – even the ivy came with it! It’s a quirky slice of history nestled among beautiful gardens, and a great way to learn about early colonial ties between England and Australia. Just one of many reasons to explore Fitzroy Gardens – there’s so much more than just green space here!

G abby One of the best places in Melbourne to have a walk by the water. Very well maintained walkways with beautiful buildings around. It was not busy at all which made the stroll even better. Didnt even use public transportation to get here because it is not that far from downtown core. Not that many stores or restaurants around which is not a bad thing. Beautiful Marina.

James Cassar Great place to sun gaze… sunrise is amazing. Best views. Highest land point in metropolitan

Wanyue Fang Scienceworks is a fantastic place for curious young minds, full of hands-on activities and fun ways to learn about science and technology. Every visit sparks new questions and excitement. It’s a great destination for families and a must-visit for anyone with kids who love to explore and discover!

Pauline Clifford Great spot hidden away near Thomastown. Lots of history of the German settlement in Victoria. Worth the visit.
