Whether you’re just visiting or live in Melbourne full-time, you’d bound to need suggestions for where you can take the kids.
Let’s face it, kids need constant entertaining. The more fun you can cram into their day, the better. This means if you can get them out for the day doing something they enjoy, you’ll gain major brownie points. They might even repay you by sleeping soundly at a reasonable hour (although don’t bank on it, I’ve never managed to wear my kids out well enough!)
