11 days in Melbourne Itinerary

The state of Victoria crown jewel, Melbourne boasts shaded streets, leafy residential neighborhoods, vibrant street life, and a picturesque city center.

Family-friendly places like Lake Wendouree and A Maze'N Things will thrill your kids. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Ballarat Wildlife Park and Eastern Beach Reserve. Venture out of the city with trips to National Vietnam Veterans Museum (in Newhaven), Ballarat (Ballarat Botanical Gardens, Lydiard Street, & more) and Cowes (Tyde & Phillip Island Wildlife Park). There's much more to do: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Melbourne Zoo, take in panoramic vistas at Eureka Skydeck 88, explore the activities along Lake Daylesford, and see the interesting displays at Melbourne Museum.
