“Melbourne Zoo is a perfect day trip for the family. Getting there is easy, just jump on the 55 tram from the front of the hotel. Make sure you check out the giraffes…my personal favourite” 

Where: Elliott Ave, Parkville (55 Tram)  

“ACMI (Australian Centre of Moving Image) at Federation Square has a fantastic school holiday programme with some great free events and cool workshops such as a filmmaking and animation.”

Where: Federation Square, Flinders St

“For an authentic Melbourne experience, you can’t beat a footy match at the iconic MCG. If you don’t already follow a team, North Melbourne is always a safe bet.”

Where: Brunton Ave, Richmond 

“I would head straight to the Docklands for some ice-skating. The O’Brien Group Arena is only a short tram ride away from the hotel and has an Olympic sized rink suitable for all ages.”  

Where: 105 Pearl River Rd, Docklands
