Nature
Melbourne's middle name is Nature. Spread across the city are many locations where families can get close to nature such as zoos, animal reserves, nature parks, farms, walking/bike trails, gardens, aquariums and waterways.
If you want to combine physical fitness with nature take the 1000 steps Kokoda Track Memorial Walk in Upper Ferntree Gully. As you are huffing and puffing towards the top, there's some good news - there's not actually as many as 1000 steps.
Dogs may be man's best friend but there are plenty of other animals that families would enjoy meeting. Check out our blog Family Animal and Zoo Activities in Melbourne and Victoria to experience the wonders of the animal world in Melbourne and surrounding areas.
One of the ways to experience nature is to go for a walk. Check out our blog The Best Family Walks in Melbourne for plenty of suggestions.
Some of the best nature experiences are in the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley. Check out our guides to these areas: The Best Family Activities in the Dandenong Ranges and The Best Family Activities in the Yarra Valley.
Sometimes nature beckons from afar and you need to take a day trip to satisfy such a deep craving for nature. In that case our blog Hundreds of Family Activity ideas for Holidays and Day trips is going to come in mighty useful.
