Activities in Melbourne Central Business District (CBD)

One of the comments made in response to our survey was "I was thinking of taking my 3 year old into the city on a train (as I have a couple of hours to kill while my car is at the mechanics) and I was looking for cheap things to keep him amused in the city. We have been to the Aquarium (good but expensive) and museum. It didn't really offer much of what is in the city".

We like dissatisfied users of Melbourne Playgrounds as much as an itch in a place which you can't quite reach. Therefore we want to increase the number and range of activities on our site which are located in the CBD.

The first problem is to find where they are hiding on our site. The easiest way to pry them loose is to do a search by Suburb and select Melbourne. A search in other surrounding suburbs such as Docklands is also time well spent.

This will list:

Artplay Playground at Birrarung Marr
Australian Centre for the Moving Image
Australian Racing Museum and Hall Of Fame
City Circle Tram
Ian Potter Foundation Children's Garden
Immigration Museum
Melbourne Aquarium
Melbourne CBD Hardrock
Melbourne CBD Street Art
Melbourne City Baths
Melbourne City Bikes
Melbourne City Tourist Shuttle
National Gallery of Victoria
Old Melbourne Gaol
Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne
Skate Park - City (Riverslide)
State Library of Victoria
