Top 50 things to do and attractions in Glen Eira

One of the biggest and best parks to be at on this side of Melbourne, has full perimeter walk/run track with numerous windy pathways through the beautiful landscaped gardens. Plenty of room here for sports or kids to play around lovely place thats well kept. Follow people like me as we make the effort to show amazing places around the world for you to evaluate

Caulfield Park is a great spot for running with a peaceful, refreshing vibe. The park has a 2.5 km loop that’s flat and perfect for both long runs and easy jogs. Shaded by trees, it stays cool even in the summer, and running by the lake adds a nice scenic touch. While there are plenty of people, the park is spacious enough that it never feels crowded. Early mornings are especially quiet, making it ideal for a calm start to the day. Plus, there are fitness stations and good lighting in the evenings for safe night runs. Overall, it's a convenient and enjoyable place to run.

Caulfield Park is the jewel of Glen Eira's parks. There's something to get all ages and life stages outdoors. On the western perimeter, there's tram accessibility to shops, cafes and shady formal gardens including a renovated lake and arbour. Mid park sits the bowls and tennis club on the south side, a small accessible car park to service sport pavillions for multiple cricket and soccer ovals. Dog walkers share this space as there's easy street parking alongside.Directly behind on the north side sits the largest of kids playgrounds and bird aviary. On the east side are a few basketball courts frequented by community groups and picnickers. This sprawling metropolis is so huge, there's a 1.5km gravel track surrounding the equivalent of 4 street blocks. 😳 Enjoy a trip to Baker Bleu or Sweethearts whilst you're in the area.

Caulfield Park is Glen Eira's largest park and, understandably, also the most popular. Its design reflects the history of the park, and its diverse array of facilities support its status as a major hub for a plethora of activities within Glen Eira. I love walking around the park and observing the seasons as reflected in the diverse flora and fauna of the park.

Luscious and leafy Caulfield Park located at - 280 Balaclava Rd, Caulfield North - is somewhat of a partially hidden gem. Walking through it - is a very relaxing experience and one that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe would have enjoyed. It has a bit of everything, including a lot of 100+ year old trees, ponds and lots of ducks to go with it. Walkers and joggers enjoy the 3.7 sand tan track that runs around the perimeter, whilst children love the paths, play areas and nature in the interior. There is an 'official' off leash area for dogs - you read between the lines - let's just say it appears to be quite a dog friendly vibe all round. There is a serious war memorial adorning the three words of - Palestine, Egypt and Gallipoli - built in 1932 - towering out of the Western parkland. This park provides a whacking amount of shade and is refreshingly quiet even though it is surrounded by busy streets. A great spot for that first or second date as well! Grab food and coffees from the neary cafe (of which there are many) - and discover for yourself what makes this park so perfect. - Hamish John Appleby // APPLEBY PHOTOGRAPHY

What a beautiful park! It's like visiting the country what with its pond, ducks water features, bridges, etc etc, so so lovely. Good play area for kids but also fantastically they also have a sensory play area for kids who prefer that environment. Nice place for a meander or a picnic. Just sweet. Go for a stroll.

Lovely, spacious park with lots of beautiful trees. There’s a nice track that goes around the entire park if you would like a longer walk, but plenty of space to sit down (both benches and on the grass) if you’re just here to enjoy some time outdoors. Lots of parking here and there are toilets and playgrounds. Many birds by the lake. Definitely would recommend a visit!

My favourite place to walk. A beautiful park with lots of trees and flowers. Thanks to Glen Eira Council for making it such a great place to visit.

This is a great local park with lots of established trees and lawns, and lots of shaded areas and many facilities including rotundas, BBQs, water fountain, clean toilets and litter bins. There's also a kids playground, although small, it's pretty good and quite entertaining for the little ones. It's a great park to let your pooch out for a run.

Perfect beautiful little off leash dpg park to do a few laps on. Beautiful trees and plants. Children's play equipment, seated areas , drinking fountain, public restrooms.

Small family park with a nice playground for the kids. There are 4 BarBQ burners too for the summer barbecue and a couple of toilet booths. This park has 2 sections. The upper section is an off leash area for dogs while the lower section is an on leash area. There is a small netball Joop and basketball hoop at the western side of the park that is popular with teens.

Good size of garden and play area. Good facilities as well and the park is well looked after.

Nice park with a play ground area and other amenities. There is a dog off leash area too.

Great park for the kids. Have bbq facilities and toilets / changing stations for babies. A quite nice playground for younger children. Also a bit of shade to sit back and relax.

Best outdoor playground for kids from all ages. Encourages kids to explore more. Parents should watch the kids all the time especially at the high slides. But, it’s all fun! There’s a water fountain for kids to play. BBQ facility for group event. We can also play tennis on the wall and play basketball.

Not quite Disneyland but possibly more "hands-on" fun. The huge garden and hard surface park which used to be the Caulfied Reservoir - but it has been gentrified (kidified) and turned into an expansive park that is both artistic and fit for physical fitness - the type that kids love. Places for kicking balls, running, swinging, spinning, sliding, climbing, jumping, and chasing. Best of all, the park has a "water" theme (a splash park) - most prominent is the flat pad water fountain area which invites you to run through a maze of water spouts - perfect for a cool Summer! The fountains do have different operational times depending on the Season. Dogs on a leash are okay. There are toilets and bins. The only difficulty was trying to find a spare place to park the car.

Very nice playground for the little ones, all ages appropriate, with public toilets available. Nice for weekend picnics or bbq.

Wow, what a playground! My boys loved the climbing! Although there was no water at the sand pit there was plenty behind the BBQ place! We also enjoyed the coffee across the street.

Excellent play area, we frequently visit with our kid. Lot of activities for the kids. Water play area is the highlight.

The main sliding for 7 years and above. But the swing, environment, and the public toilet for women was very clean. If u want to go with toddler better find another parks / playground since the slides here must be climb with robe.

This little place in Glen Huntly is a gem. It has everything for a family to enjoy. Water play, play area for children of all ages, bbq spots and shaded picnic area. There is plenty of parking space as well

Caulfield city hall has a nice art gallery. It's free and mostly from amateur / young artists. They have special events every now and then. There is also a library in the back of the building with plenty of carpark spaces at either end. Probably not a type of place were you plan to go and visit solely for the sake of it but if you are in the neighborhood and have some free time on hand is worth paying a visit.

Surprisingly I got what I was asking for, thankfully I get attended too in a civilised manner as I don't like it when I get attacked by anyone especially when it's staff at my local council.

Beautiful decor inside. Staff were friendly and helpful.

A calm place. Went there for watching Moana at Town Hall. Loved the time spent there.

I attended a residents meeting. Plenty of chairs for participants. Pre covid the council held musical programs which were entertaining, good value and well attended. I'm looking forward to the day when they can resume.

Conveniently located on the corner of Glen Eira and Hawthorn Roads in the GE town hall, which you can not miss from a kilometer away with its beautiful white clock tower. Plenty of off road parking is available and small but pleasant well tended gardens are a delight to wander through on your way to the one of the entrances. The gallery is best entered through the grand main entrance on the ground floor, ten steps and you are in this tranquil welcoming art gallery. Greeted with a friendly hello and a smile from one of the charming ladies tending the reception desk one is handed a catalogue and a brief but informative preview of what exhibition is currently being presented. The joy is that this gallery not only has a small resident exhibition but every few weeks a new artist, art group or renown artist is featured as the main presentation for one's delight and enjoyment. I highly recommend the Glen Eira gallery for a family or couples visit in a lovely environment for a couple of hours.

Wow! 3.7 star rating? Not surprised at all. The lady on the phone named Jill was not only unhelpful but very rude at the same time. She should know how to respect and talk to the clients. The voice was breaking up on my end, as she could hear everything clearly, what I was saying(guessed from her prompt muffled reply). When asked something she had huge problem explaining things over again as she was literally yelling. I would hardly recommend not to talk to her, when you try to call. She should definitely learn some customer service etiquettes.

Packer Park is a brilliant all-rounder park in a bushy setting. Loads of dog off leash and walking, sports and play options. Frog Hollow playground is an awesome place to have kids connect with nature. There's a cricket oval with clubrooms, a boule area in the far corner and a velodrome for cyclists keen to improve their Strava time.

Nice long elevated travel paths for fast toddlers! And good sized slides and lattice climbing ladders, not too big and not too small.

Dog friendly big park with nature, cricket ground, plenty of playground, even a cycle verlodom. Most of the park at off leash. Highly recommend for dog owner and furry friends.

This park has lots of facilities for everyone including your fur baby. It is well lit at night during the week. It has off and on leash areas. Walking paths, wetlands, cycling velodrome, playground, birdie golf cage, outdoor gym, bocce, hit up wall, basketball ring, Bbq, rotunda, cricket training nets and function room. Enough to keep everyone happy.

Family member hired the venue for Christmas Day evening. It was large enough and provided kitchen facilities,tables and chairs and good bathrooms. Kids could access the playground oval outside as well easily.

Really love this park, so many options for the kids. Playground, small bike track and dog grass area.

One of the biggest parks and best picnic places I have seen. Perfect for a kids birthday party. Make sure you make the booking if hosting a party

Went to this park with my 2-year-old and she absolutely loved playing here. All facilities are safe for toddlers and children and shades are well installed.

Wifey said “Let’s go for a drive after we had lunch in Bentleigh. “ It was a sunny Saturday and I gave her directions to my spiritual home for Green Time - Halley Park. I first came acquainted with Halley Park when Huge waves of nostalgia oozed through me as sentimental memories returned. Practicing Tai Chi in bare feet on the grass in 2012. The sound of the birds singing Families laughing enjoying the Children’s Playground Parties in the Rotunda Area that were booked through The City Of Glen Eira The magical smell of the Flower Gardens near Jasper Road. Locals walking their dogs The time I found a pram in Halley Park – it reminded me of The Squid Game when dating People exercising their dogs. In the apartment I lived I couldn’t have a pet such as Cat or a Dog. It wouldn’t have been fair on them. Incidentally Dog Hour is around 4 pm at most public parks. Halley Park became really important to me during Melbourne Lockdowns once people could have a picnic for 2 people. I would have a BBQ breakfast near the Rotunda meeting the local joggers and people walking their dog connecting with other humans for a few moments socializing and learning what was important in their lives. It made life more bearable. There are public toilets, public barbeques and shelter from the elements down there. Plenty of parking on the surrounding streets with some shade provided by trees. There’s a number of Rubbish Bins. Wifey and myself spent 90 minutes there reminiscing on a seat enjoying the tree smells and observing other people enjoying the great facilities that are available at Halley Park. We munched on Roast Almond Chocolate, photographed some birds in the trees and remembered one of our first dates there about four years ago. I was the person wearing very colorful tops writing in the park in the Rotunda Area a few years ago . I met lots of locals when I lived in Moorabbin. This one is for letting you know I’m still alive even if you haven’t seen me for a while. It was great to revisit Halley Park last weekend and know the memories just keep getting better with new people in the community making their own special memories of Halley Park. Sometimes, it’s nice to return to those Happy Places for a short while.

This would have to be one of the most visually beautiful parks in Melbourne. Always very clean and bbqs always clean too and ready for use. Lots of bins to put your rubbish in and taps and water bowls for doggies. Great big playground for kids, dog friendly, great for a nice relaxing atmosphere. The park almost has a relaxing, healing energy about it. Would highly recommend this park to families couples, and doggies. It's a huge park, with many sections if u want quiet, meditation or relaxing time to yourself.

Excellent playground for toddlers. Also a nice spot for birthday parties with a good sized gazebo close to the playground. Plenty of grass to run around plus BBQ facilities.

Lovely clean park. Bbqs, dog friendly, great playground. Lots of trees. Clean toilets.

always a great place for playdates. there's a centralised play area for all ages, shady area for functions, public toilets, wide open spaces for picnics and outdoor activities. oh and this huge tree which is great for kids to climb on!

Cute local park with a good playground, well maintained grass and clean bbq facilities.

A beautiful little nature reserve with a self guided walking tour that tells the story of the Kulin way of life. Native plantlife with a walking path and park benches. A lovely little pocket of Australian indigenous plants and a history lesson.

It's nice

Love it, great for kids to play and explore in. A great way to get back to nature in the suburbs.

Lovely peaceful park!

Lovely day at the most pawfect park! Lovely dog park filled with the loveliest doggos and their sweet pawrents. Every Sunday morning there’s a pawsome dog training session — so much wagging and learning! There’s even a cute playground for the little hoomans to have their own fun! And guess what? A sporty corner too, with basketball and ping pong for the energetic ones! Plus a HUGE oval — perfect for a morning zoomie run or a sunset stroll. Such a woofderful place to spend the day! Free stick to bring home is a bonus! #BestParkEver #DogLife #FamilyFun #SundayFunday #HappyPaws

Very well-maintained, dog-friendly reserve with multiple facilities including a football oval (off-leash area for dogs) & club rooms, tennis courts, walking paths, a playground, water stations, public toilets and a large grassed area (dogs on-lead only) on the far side of the reserve. There is a carpark located near the oval at the back of the Bowls Club, which can be accessed from Centre Rd, as well as free street parking around the perimeter of the reserve (some parking restrictions along sections of some streets apply so best to be vigilant when parking). Plenty of trees within the reserve for shade as well as several park benches around the perimeter of the reserve. Several garbage reciprocals are also located within the reserve.

Nice small park. Great for a picnic or a walk. Dogs have plenty of space to run around and play. Would recommend if you live nearby.

Nice park with kids if they're not afraid of dogs. Plenty to do to keep kids busy. Comfortable walking track around perimeter of oval.

This is a big park you can go for walking, running or taking your children out there in the playground. I went for running and saw some folks biking in the early morning.

Just a short walk from our place, lots of room to run, flowers look great!

Nice place to go and walk your dog and let your children play at the playground. The playground is on the outer area of a large open space that is a dog off leash zone (playground and nearby path is dog on leash). A foot path circles the open space area for those wishing to get their step count up. There are a couple of public toilets and a basketball court for those brave enough to attempt 3 pointers in public. The area is lit during week nights only.

Nice little park in Elsternwick, not too far from the town centre. Great for taking your dog for a quick walk on-leash (there's little off-leash area and fairly close to the road, but you can at certain times we think). A nice children's playground at one side, and a few signposts with some interesting information. Great when the flowers and trees are blooming.

Recently took my friend’s dog, Rosie, for a walk in Hopetoun Gardens, and it was such a pleasant experience. The park is beautifully maintained, with well-manicured gardens and clean pathways, making it a truly inviting space. The cascading trees provide plenty of shade, and the rotunda with seating is a perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. The playground is well-designed and a great size for kids, and the intersecting pathways make it easy to explore the park. It’s also in a convenient location—an easy walk from the main road, with tram access nearby. The homes surrounding the gardens are very lucky to have such a picturesque space in their view! While the park has clear signage about keeping dogs on a leash, it was disappointing to see some owners not following the rules. As always, picking up after pets and respecting the rules helps keep our parks clean and enjoyable for everyone. Overall, Hopetoun Gardens is a wonderful spot for a walk or a family outing. Highly recommend! I’ll definitely visit again.

I enjoy my short walks in Hopetoun Gardens. I go early in the morning when we are permitted to let our dogs off-leash. It's well maintained by Glen Eira council with a formal garden, a band stand and plenty of benches and picnic tables. The beautiful old trees are well signed so its educational too. Look out for the cork tree and the turpentine tree. Would be good to have an off-leash time in the evenings too.

Gorgeous little park, perfect for picnics and a day out with family and friends. Very close to local cafes and shops.

Great little park featuring some truly amazing trees (including a cork tree, a huge oak, and a massive South African Cape bush willow. Each tree has an identifying plate. If kids are your thing, there’s a playground and if dogs are your thing then they’re allowed off leash between 6 - 9 in the morning. Take a moment to read the plaque and learn a little about the cannons at the entrance which have been there since 1910!

A pleasant shady park to relax in on a warm day. However the playground was average I suppose depending on the age of the kids, okay for the very young ones. The toilets were out of order and despite the sign saying they hope to have up and running soon, the sign looked aged.

Lockdown made easier with sun and a park nearby.

Large playground, and the tree provides good level of shade. The equipment seems to be catering for a wide range of kids. Worth checking out, we’ve been a few times.

This is a wonderful park. There is a unique net playground equipment. The slide equipment is very large. There are toilets and BBQ facilities.

Clean and fun games for toddlers and children Lots for parking, amenities are close by, so are bbq functions.

A great park for kids of all ages! And for the adults, a lovely place for a walk - even the magpies are friendly!

Great for my 18month old being able to run around on the bridges. It would be nice for it to be updated as there is a lot of wear and tear that needs fixing and just generally aged.

Great variety for the kids to play. There's an oval nearby if you want to have a kick, and some pleasant bushland with a path close by if you want to enjoy a relaxing walk.

One of the best playgrounds we've been to. Glen Eira sure is the best at playgrounds. Albeit the council rates are higher than most...but at least we're seeing it go somewhere

A beautiful and peaceful spot for a picnic! The low crowds make it worth paying for a memorial picnic if you plan to spend more than a couple of hours here. Please note that a separate ticket is required to visit the mansion, in addition to the entry fee. There’s a guided tour available approximately every hour. The estate is well-maintained, with several charming bridges crossing the lake, offering unique views. If you're up for a little adventure, there’s also a viewpoint accessible via a short climb.

Impressive place. Some interesting history. Highly recommend the mansion your. However you don't get to see all the rooms and no access to the tower. Nice place for a picnic. Cafe is very limited so byo food and drink.

The mansion is very beautiful and well preserved. The tour was just a small group of 10-15 people so it’s not overcrowded. The tour guide who is a local is very informative of the estate and its surroundings’ history. You can also explore the garden and grounds after the tour. The garden tour was $15pp and for an additional $10pp, you get to have a guided tour inside the mansion as well.

Rippon Lea Estate is one of Melbourne’s most breathtaking wedding venues - rich in history, elegance, and charm. As a wedding stylist, it’s an absolute joy to work within such a stunning and well-preserved heritage space. From the grand mansion interiors to the lush, sprawling gardens, every corner of the estate offers an incredible backdrop for styling and photography. The venue’s versatility is a dream - whether couples are after a romantic garden ceremony, a sophisticated outdoor reception, or an intimate dinner inside the mansion, Rippon Lea can bring it all to life. Beyond the beauty of the estate itself, the team is a true standout. They are professional, accommodating, and deeply experienced when it comes to hosting seamless, high-end events. Their attention to detail and collaborative approach make the planning and execution process smooth from start to finish, which is so important from a stylist's perspective. Rippon Lea continues to be one of our favourite venues to work at, and we always look forward to bringing our couples’ visions to life in such a timeless and enchanting setting.

Fabulous House and Estate breathes huge amounts of History for Victoria and Australia. Massive gardens and out buildings, well worth multiple visits. Managed by the National Trust and awesome volunteers

Beautiful estate with stunning gardens and a well-preserved historic mansion. The guided tour was very informative, and the atmosphere is peaceful. A must-visit in Melbourne!

Wonderful historic house and grounds. Be sure to tour both. House tours are guide led, so check the schedule.

I bought a day trip for a birthday present. The leaders we absolutely fabulous in making the day accessible and fun for all. Extremely well organised, teaching and learning was clear and fun. thank you so much!! Highly recommend!

I joined the Phillip Island kayak tour on Saturday and it was MAGICAL! We had ripper sunny weather and just a gentle touch of swell. Saw lots of birds and two seals. Rohan and Adam did an excellent job teaching the group kayak skills and keeping us all happy and safe, you couldn't find better tour guides. Easy booking process, good quality equipment, and a focus on participants' safety. Friendly service and lots of fun!

We had our first Sea Kayaking experience on Sunday 2 March, it was so much fun. The guides were great, Rohan and RJ checked in with us all every step of the way. On the way back the wind got up a little more than expected so we did actual sea kayaking which was so much fun. Lunch was perfect, a picnic on the beach, all our gear was well maintained and instructions very clear.

Want to see Melbourne from a completely different experience? I recommend you the Sea Kayak Sunset during sunset. It was a fun, unforgettable, and exciting adventure in the middle of the city. We were lucky to have a cool guide (Dane) that shared his knowledge about the city and maybe the experience super easy. 100% recommended!

This experience was amazing; Exceeded every expectation. We had 6 people go, the youngest being 13. The safety talk and instructions at the beginning meant we all new what to do and had a great time. We went in the evening session and the views were breathtaking. We will be doing this again next time we’re in Melbourne.

Rohan and team are very professional at kayaking and with 15 mins of instructions we were able to do the entire tour with ease. Till now you have seen sunset from sides of Southbank and south wharf, but in this kayak you’ll witness it from the river. It’s a beautiful scene. You’ll see the best sunset. You must be strong enough to row the kayak for 2 hours because it does take some strength. Do some arm exercises before you go for kayaking For this tour: Carry extra pair of clothes because you’ll get wet 100% or maybe wear snow pants so that you don’t feel cold when your denim gets wet - trust me it’ll happen the minute you’re in water. Carry some small packets of protein bars or snacks. Half way through the tour some chocolates and hot chocolate is served as well. The activity could get affected by rise in water level in Yarra river or bad weather. Organisers will let you know well in advance if they’re going ahead with the schedule or not.

Booked the Melbourne City Twilight Tour with my friends and it was an amazing experience!! Our guides Alex and Tasman were so friendly and gave us a great tour as well. Highly recommend! Thanks for having us :)

A wonderful treasure for Melbourne. Its propagation of rare grasses and flora, once abundant throughout metropolitan Melbourne, is something extraordinary to experience. Extensive tracks for all kinds of exercise surrounded by extensive bushland and wetlands. Great place for children with bikes to feel free and unfettered.

Karkarook Park is very big with large areas of water, lakes, ponds and wetlands. You can jog, walk dogs, picnic, sunbathe, cycle, do sports, go fishing, fly kites, read under the shade, watch birds and fish (but don’t feed them), have gatherings with families and friends, bring your kids and do many things. There are BBQ facilities, tables, benches, a playground, public toilet, watching bridges, large area of grass and trees. Watch out for other people if you cycle on the walking tracks because young kids are easily hit. Walk with your bikes if crowded. There are usually many people on weekends but you will find your personal space in this awesome park. Some small walking trails are hidden with thorns, bird and dogs’ poo, slippery and can trip you to the nearby water easily, so be careful. Experienced hikers like them. You can reach the park by public transit, bus 903 for example.

Great park, perfect to bring children or just go for a walk. There’s plenty of places for children to play and have picnics. It’s a beautiful place to walk around and admire the water and birdlife. There’s plenty of amenities such as shaded picnic table areas and toilets. The parking can get full very fast in peak times but you can always park at the Bunnings that’s not too far away.

Karkarook Park in Heatherton is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with lush greenery, wide open spaces, and stunning lake views that make it feel like a peaceful escape from the city. The walking and cycling paths are well-maintained and perfect for a leisurely stroll, a jog, or a family bike ride. There are plenty of picnic spots with shady trees, making it ideal for a relaxing afternoon with friends or family. The playgrounds are fantastic for kids, and the lake attracts so much wildlife, adding a real sense of nature and tranquility. Whether you’re into birdwatching, exercising, or just soaking up the scenery, Karkarook Park has it all. I honestly can’t recommend it enough – it’s one of those places you can visit over and over and always find something new to enjoy. A true local treasure! 😍

What a beautiful surprise in the middle of suburbia! Karkarook Lake is such a peaceful and scenic spot — perfect for a walk with the dog, cycling, picnic BBQ, play with the kids at the playground or watch the ducks. Perfect scenery for sunset pics too😉

Beautiful park for yoga, walking, bbquing, picknicking, fishing or just for the fresh air around. There are ample parking space.

A very pleasant little park, lovely lake, lots of birdlife. The only detraction is the ever present traffic noise from the main roads around it.

Fantastic performance of Honour at Red Stitch Actors’ Theatre. Lovely small theatre, a few stairs to navigate to the higher up seating. Lovely garden setting for pre-show drinks.

My husband and I saw Honour as our introduction to independent theatre. It was brilliant. What the actors are able to achieve and portray with minimal props, just uaing cleverly set up scenes and their voices. Absolutely fantastic, highly recommend.

An intimate theatre owned and run by actors. Full of character and the plays are always interesting. You can get drinks in the foyer our courtyard. Big bonus with parking onsite.

A comfortable and cozy theatre venue for any small-scale performance lover. I had the amazing opportunity to watch ‘Dance Nation’ here recently and had the best experience with the facilities, location and the actual show. Definitely a great spot to get your performing arts fix in an accessible and pleasant location.

High quality performances at an intimate venue. Easy parking. Cozy outdoor area for a pre-show beverage. Friendly staff.

Great intimate performing space, up close and personal, with parking on site.

Intimate venue with great shows and amazing talent. Nice bar for a drink before the show.

Gorgeous little park with alot of fun things to do for the kids. HOWEVER.. they have the most blatantly bold gang of pigeons I've ever met in my life.. those birds do not fear humans and they are almost chicken sized.

The Booran Reserve provides a great place for people to relax and play. Families with kids looking for an awesome place where their children can play with great playground equipment such as slides, swings, roped climbing structures and a running stream of water that young and old alike will definitely find entertaining - bring spare clothes for your young ones! The reserve also has lots of space to hold parties. There are tables with benches around plus bbq facilities. It is also good that the council has put in toilet facilities for guests to use - I think this should be a standard for reserves especially when you have kids who want to make a toilet run. Bring with you your basketball, your mates and have a good pick-up game of basketball because this reserve has a half-court! Parking can be a bit crowded on a good day which is understandable given how beautifully made this reserve is. But street parking around the area is good and a good short walk won't hurt anyone.

Picturesque stunning park. Beautiful and great photographically, have a look Bbq's, toilets and even can book/reserve picnic areas and Bbq's for functions or events!

Beautiful park for younger kids. Very good selection of play: slides, waterway, sands... great for 1-5 year old

Great park, water features, heaps of equipment for the kids, clean toilets.

Its a gorgeous well equipped place to take the family to play bbq ir picnic. Love the lil running river on warm days to cool your kiddies feet off. Love it here.

Very well maintained public space. However, there was no toilet paper in the automatic dispensers.

This is a great community park with good facilities. It includes an oval with a walking/running track, cricket nets, grandstand and a shaded, bright and colourful playground. The landscaped garden beds are lovely when in full bloom.

Good park. Definitely due a renovation of which Glen Eira council have suggested. Good for little ones as there is lots of platforms and 3 slides

The public baths are not open yet, but the main playground is certainly busy with children happy to use the equipment when nothing else is on offer. The park also has picnic tables, some under cover, and BBQs, with toilets also there.

Great local park and community. Council seems a bit slack on refilling the doggy bags though plus the park needs recycling bins AND more general bins. Overall a reasonable dog park with both on and off-leash areas and decent space for a run.

Closer to a major road and not fenced in. Seen several kids wander off from unattentive parents. Always big kids crashing the party due to footy pitch near by. Playground is showing its age and needs a refresh.

Good place for evening walk

Koornang Park is a beautiful place to spend some time with your family or just by yourself. The playground is ideal for small children and there is plenty of space for a nice picnic 😁

Nice place. Visited once for a Footy match.

Home of the world famous Southside East Caulfield Cricket Club that's stronger than ever after 50+ years. Ground is often in good condition for Cricket but is way over used by the Irish Sporting teams for training. The playing surface has visibility deteriorated whilst they have been active. The ground is not meant to be subject to such heavy all year round usage. Even in the Millennium drought of 1997 to 2010 the ground was in better condition than current.

A small but appealing playground - our toddler loved the bumblebee car. The picnic area is great - there are several tables available under shade. In general, the park was clean, but the public bathrooms were so dirty they were unusable.

Good park, used for different local sporting events. Has parking lots, cricket nets, playground, public toilets and a generous perimeter walking track. Good for running!

Great venue during the races and perfect place for an early morning jog.

Clean well kept grass.

Spacious and quiet. Suitable for families with kids and dogs, as well as for personal training. There are fences around the reserve but don't fotget to keep an eye on your dogs because some gate leading to super busy traffic might be left open

Huge park in the middle of Melbourne, with a lot of facilities. Several open air swimming pools, currently under redevelopment, an oval and soccer ground. Plus children playground and lot of open space. Great for walking and jogging.

Nice park for walking around. And there is the community gallery Not far from Koornang road shopping area. Big sports ground. But there are other more interesting parks.

Good place to take a walk after dinner and have nice facilities to play around, dog friendly :)

Very good place with multiple facilities Very well maintained 4-5 soccer fields. Lots and lots of kids dressed in various colours playing soccer is a pleasing sight. A cricket oval A good walking / joggong trail Plenty of parking all around Nice neighbourhood Plenty of benches to relax Clean and well maintained grass.

I love going on my walks to this park...very big and clean.

All time my favourite ground to play cricket

We met a friend and had an evening picnic together at one of the picnic tables. We saw many dogs and owners and enjoyed a lovely view of the evening sky. Mosquitoes are an expected problem given the recent rains, but everything else went perfectly.

Such a great park with so much to do for the little ones. Plenty of swings, two play areas, a flying fox & shaded areas with BBQs. Just has everything you need. Well designed. It is well kept and clean. You will not be disappointed taking your kids there.

Really good playground. Has bathrooms and facilities are clean

A beautiful playground and park located on Kangaroo Road. Fun to walk around, with lots of shade, beautiful landscaping and finished tan track. Multiple bbq facilities with undercover shelters and seating. Always clean. New automatic toilet block is a great addition. Clean and accessible. Dry river garden beds and wonderful landscaping to explore. For the kids there is lots of play equipment. Swings for all abilities and ages, a flying fox, slides, roundabout, climbing equipment and more.

Really lovely park with a great playground Also has large ovals to kick a footy. Has toilets and lots of seating. Good place for mums to catch up together. You can have a BBQ there. Coffee shop a short distance away. My grandsons love it here.

A gorgeous little nature themed play space. Multiple small climbing structures with slides, flying fox, spinning cup, see-saw, and swings. Large round rope climbing structure. Nature based play with little tracks and a cubby in the bushes. Toilets on site and parking is along the street. The street facing side is fenced with a couple of openings. Covered BBQ space with benches. Sports oval next door. Lack of shade over the playground

A great playground! Suitable for kids of all ages. Has a flying fox zip line as well. Lots of benches for adults, sheltered and open air. There’s even a clean automated toilet which plays music. Lol.

We love this playground. It’s neatly design. Shades sitting area, a lot of greenery, there’s large park great for a jog or just to run around and there’s small slides for smaller babies. For more playground & park pictures & reviews please head to my instagram @winalestari

Nice place enjoyed and freedom to be a lego geek. We spent 4 hrs here.i was tired but dev wasn't. Love the 4 D movie but hate the water effect. Hot dog was the meal tomatoes sauce was sourced but dev liked it and the bun awesome. Nice set of act for kids . Must to see

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience at LEGOLAND! LEGOLAND is an absolute dream come true for both kids and adults! The park is beautifully designed, clean, and full of fun attractions that keep everyone entertained all day long. The creativity and detail in every display are simply incredible — it truly feels like stepping into a world made of LEGO bricks. The rides are perfect for families, with a great mix of excitement and safety. The staff are friendly, patient, and always happy to help, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The 4D cinema, mini cities, and interactive building zones were huge hits with the kids. Food options were great too, with plenty of variety and reasonable prices. Overall, LEGOLAND is a place full of smiles, imagination, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommend it for a fun family day out!

Great place for kids to play, we went on a time that’s not quite busy. So my little one was able to go on the ride many many times, she absolutely enjoyed it and the staff didn’t get upset 🤭 They were happy to operate even when she is the only one on the ride. The day we went there that the 4D cinema was not working, however the staff organise face painting instead. We were very happy and had a great time, even participated in the lego workshop too!!! I would think this would also be a great place for birthday parties.

I went to the most recent 'adults night' and it was fantastic. The whole discovery centre was wonderful with rides, plenty of spots to sit and build, and even a stop motion Lego room. It is unfortunate that adults can't attend at anytime because I would definitely be there more often if I could. Highly recommend the visit though and adults night is a wonderful way to let out your inner child!!

Went on a Wednesday after lunch. not too busy. Enjoyed the mediaeval shooter ride, though my kid was too scared for the wizard ride, and not interested in the 4D movies. Plenty of building activities and features for the kids. 2 soft play areas. And a cafe, but that closed at 3pm. I'd say it's comparable to a play centre with added rides and activities, which makes the ticket price worth it. LEGO shop is full priced though. So might be risky if your kids are inclined to beg for toys at the shops. Mini LEGO Melbourne was amazing to look at! So many little Easter eggs. Liked the free passport and stamps!

LEGOLAND at Chadstone is great for kids and kidults, rides, 4D movies, building zones, and the mini Melbourne display are awesome. Perfect indoor spot for family fun, with friendly staff and plenty to keep little ones busy.

Great location for Lego fans and kids of all ages. We had a great time there, my daughter loves it and we picked up some great Lego sets too.

Quite big park with multiple BBQs. There is a kids playground and rides. Two big ovals with on leash and other off leash. There is a public toilet as well.

Fantastic park with muliple ovals and open space. An amazing playground for kids, with BBQ facilities and plenty of parking.

Decent footy club, plenty of parking, modern facilities.

Our fave dog park... great dogs and great people!

Wow what a nice park. Expansive ovals and playgrounds backing onto bowls club and tennis courts. Playgrounds under shade of trees, commemorative garden and plenty of off-leash areas for dogs. Grass is looking a little dry after the hot summer, but very impressed with the park

Good park for the dogs except its not fully fenced off from the road. There is on the footy field but you're not allowed to have them off the leash in there???. Where I'm from a Dog park is fully fenced so they don't run on the road. Overall though its quite big and nice place to take them.

It has a large green grass area from Hawthorn road all the way to Booran road. There is a big playground and skatepark for kids just a minute in from hawthorn road. A tram stop outside park on hawthorn Road. There is a place near equipment to have a picnic. Electric opening toilets Dogs welcome in the grass area

Great place to bring the kids! Free for adults to get in but charge for kids. Kids shoes off so socks a must but if forget them can buy here, $3 pair. Hot and cold food available (chips, chicken wraps, nachos, sandwiches, nuggets, cocktail franks, muffins and icecreams) while also hot and cold drinks and the coffee was fine (decaf soy latte, skinny mocha). Also have a room where you can Build-a-Bear. Centre has play area just for the 3 and unders and a car ride. Also climbing wall but only for those over 5. I'm way past 5 but I wouldn't try it! And of course you can hold your child's birthday here. They also had an Arts and Crafts table set up with cut outs to do. 5.2 back again and yes great playcentre for kids parties and if wet. Venue opens at 9am yet at 10.30 paper towel dispenser empty, hand soap dispenser nearly empty, no $2 coins in till which are the only coins accepted in toy dispensers, so frustrating - and don't get me started on claw machine. Has any kid ever won a prize using these? Also the emergency fire exit door was padlocked. 11.4.23 there early about 10ish so nice and quiet but full by 11 with 500 kids lining up for car ride (OK exaggeration). Also still hiring. 29.3.24 there on Good Friday, fantastic was open!

The only saving grace is the delightful staff, surprisingly decent coffee and the smaller toddler area...otherwise this is run-of-the-miss play Cafe with tired, broken equipment, and empty ball-pit and overcrowded play areas. The weirdest thing was the children's toilets which had a clear class door and no doors in the cubicles..so anyone standing outside has full view of young children using the toilets.

Had a good experience. We celebrated 6th birthday of our son here. Very supportive staff. Kids really enjoyed a lot. They have quite a good variety of meal options for adults too.

I've never been a fan of play centres as a neuro-divergent individual, though after visiting Rainbow Town not too far from here my mind was changed. Lollipop's and pretty much every other play centre is loud with no quiet spaces available, filthy with bits of food and spills on the ground and play equipment, staff weren't even at the front desk when we entered. The staff in general seem deeply unhappy about working here. There are hiring signs up, though I'd recommend finding somewhere a little better managed and maintained (and cleaned) if you really want to work in a play centre. The vacant tables are also all covered in food and rubbish, like the floors and every other surface. For any health-conscious or plant-based people, the only item on the menu is hot chips. Everything else is the usual fried or packaged 90s tuck shop stuff. For reference Rainbow Town has a full Asian menu including fresh greens and veggies. I would have taken more pictures, but I'm not going to photograph kids I don't know and put them online. I recommend Rainbow Town.

Smaller centre than those of most of its competitors, which for families with younger children is quite beneficial. Older children may get bored after a while. The periodic car rides are awesome, particularly as it's free! This slightly (okay not really!) makes up for the high entry costs. I say high, as although they're similar to other play centres, this centre is smaller, has a lot less equipment AND most of the equipment in the ball pit area does not work (the suction tubes, etc). The centre really needs to fix and upgrade its play spaces to justify the entry prices.

Lollipops Playland is to parents what the sun is to the moon, exactly what is needed. They have great equipment for children of all ages and create a wonderful social atmosphere where the children can interact with each other to learn strong social skills. The cafe is great with pricing that is not ridiculous. There has been a great deal of resources, time, money and effort. It also gives mum or dad to enjoy a coffee while the kids are entertained.

Took my grandson today. He loved it So much for him to do. Staff are very friendly. Nice cafe as well Plenty of parking

Splendiferous! What took me so long to get here?? Continuously occupied from 1863 to relatively recent times as subdivided flats. Story of splendour to disrepair & restoration. From Melb's gold rush wealthy, well heeled occupants to WW refugees, migrants to arty, musical, bohemian psychedelics & students. All have left their indelible mark in this stately home. Fortuitously acquired by National Trust in 1980 & now partially restored. Reflects the heritage & history in this context. Uniquely Melb's heritage - then a far flung remote outpost as a fledgling colony where exquisite & fine materials were shipped enduring long & precarious voyage. Melb's early settlement did however have skilled builders & craftsmen to create such lavish grandeur. This is one of Nat Trust premier properties that has volunteers aplenty thankfully. Join the guided tours on the open days (3rd Sun of mth) - pre-booking advised via Nat Trust website. No parking onsite or on street but free parking in nearby streets or take public transport. Tearoom is excellent but not the antiquated toilet (gross!). Definitely do the Tower climb tour for the stunning views. Need a few hours take it in all properly. Tours are run for different parts of this stately home. While volunteer guides do a great job - some are inaudible for larger groups esp when doing the outside building tour. As for the rest - will let the attached pics elaborate the magnificent details - exterior mottled pink marble inset & Hellenistic figureheads facade, uniquely curved original glass windows, ornate ceiling cornices & paintings, gilded wallpaper, grand staircase, rooms & everything in between✨️ ✨️✨️

Stunning historical mansion, open days are held every third Sunday, best to book tickets in advance. The guides conduct tours of the house every hour, but you can explore on your own. Tea room cafe in the courtyard has some lovely scones and cake.

A beautiful place to visit on the last Sunday of the month. Great tours offered by the trust. Membership is good value.

Tours are by reservation only, so I recommend buying tickets onlain. This mansion impresses with its luxury and history. Very beautiful both inside and outside. We took the excursion, it was quite interesting, but I do not recommend going on an excursion with children under 5 years old because they are bored. We booked tickets for 3:30 and after the tour we almost didn’t have time to see everything😏 I don’t advise highly sensitive and emotional people to visit this place because the energy in the house is heavy and it was not easy for me to recover, severe headaches began, I lost my appetite, I was shaking a lot, and this happened after visiting the mansion, and the next day everything disappeared.

A fabulous property located in Caulfield, Lavassa Mansion is one of many historical properties managed by the National Trust. The House is beautifully kept and is often used as a set for TV and film. Easy to spend a good couple of hours exploring the home and hearing the stories of the previous owners from the talented volunteers.

Labassa Mansion in Melbourne is a striking piece of architectural history, an ode to opulence and grandeur. This beautifully preserved mansion, complete with its intricate period interiors and stunning ornate ceiling, immediately transports visitors back to the 19th century. The rich history of Labassa is felt in every corner, and the knowledgeable guides ensure the stories of past residents come to life. The surrounding gardens are well-kept, offering a perfect backdrop for the imposing structure. However, limited opening times may not suit all schedules. Overall, Labassa is a must-visit for history buffs and architectural enthusiasts visiting Melbourne.

Love Labassa, beautiful bone structure indeed and so glad it has been kept. Some rooms definitely need to be restored for sure to get that full affect. The history is amazing especially around the outside of all places, we came here for an open day and tour.

Victorian Bus Charters were everything I could have asked for. I organised a charter bus trip for three days in North Victoria and I was so pleased with the support that I was given administratively in the lead up and reassurance that contingency measures were in place. On the trip itself Adam was an excellent driver through some seriously challenging roads he was professional and friendly and a great companion. We had some very long days scheduled and he was still smiling throughout. A huge thank you :)

I wanted to take a moment to express our appreciation for the excellent service we received during our recent booking. It was a pleasure working with Felicity throughout the booking process—she was professional, responsive, and made everything seamless from the start. Her support and communication were greatly appreciated. I’d also like to highlight the outstanding performance of Adam. He was exceptional in every aspect—punctual, courteous, and highly professional. He went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and his friendly and attentive manner made a fantastic impression on everyone. looking forward to more trips.

Kylie was an incredible guide on our trip to the Peninsula Hot Springs. Not only did she get us around safe and sound, but she was so friendly and fun to share our day with! She was so easy going with our plans and made sure that we had the best day possible. Thank you so much Kylie!!

Great company, good prices and the people I worked with, Felicity (coordinator) and Kris (the driver) were prompt, helpful and friendly. Will definitely use them again if I need another bus.

Our girls tour with the Victorian Bus Charters exceeded our expectations. The booking process was a breeze and they worked with us to tailor a tour that ticked every box for our crew. Pete the bus driver was amazing, he was fun, organised and ensured that us having fun was his number one priority. We will certainly be booking with these guys again. I have never organised an event that ran so smoothly. Thanks Guys.

Victorian Bus Charters were amazing! I had a group of 19 do a bus tour of 3 wineries on the Mornington Peninsula from Melbourne. Everyone had an amazing time. Our bus driver Derek was punctual, kind and attentive. Felicity helped book the tour and even offered excellent recommendations for our needs on the day. The bus was clean and had ample space for 19. There was also the ability to play music and use a microphone too. Could not recommend this team highly enough.

We had the most wonderful experience with Victorian Bus Charters. The whole process was superb! from obtaining a quote, which was much more affordable compared to other companies, their customer service, super friendly and wonderful staff, flexibility and understanding of our travel needs. The driver who was allocated to our trip was amazing, he was punctual, flexible and very accommodating. Highly recommend this company!

We really love the winery tour. The schedule is perfect and not rush. Have enough time for us to enjoy and take photo. The host is nice and patient.

We had a great birthday tour with Winery Day in the Yarra Valley. We chose to do a self guided tour and it was great to be able to go at our own pace with our tastings and venues all pre organised. Our driver was also very lovely and helpful

Winery Day Tours organised a great event! They were available throughout the day, the bus driver was lovely and the lead up to the event was simple and stress free! Thank you for your big help in making our day super special!

Absolutely loved this experience! We had the loveliest driver, Julie who made the day run smoothly. She even took us a on a scenic route to see kangaroos as our group were visiting Australia from overseas. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Melbourne!

We absolutely loved our experience with Winery Day Tours. Communication was always prompt and clear, and no change or question from us was too complicated. We felt confident every step of the way that our day would be a success. My only feedback would be that too much time was spent at the lunch location with not enough time at the final winery destination, but I feel this can be managed and improved in our next tour we book with the team.

Super fun day. Communication of not only on the day but the process of organizing the whole wine tour day was so simple all thanks to the team at Winery Day Tours. Myself and mates will be doing it all again soon as we enjoyed it and had a blast.

We had a fabulous day out yesterday organised by winery day tours. They organised 3 wineries and a brewery. Everything ran perfectly the wineries they picked were stunning and the views were amazing. It was a group of 43 people and we all thoroughly enjoyed it and would defiantly book again with winery day tour.

5 guys from Perth on a golfing holiday and this exceptional golf complex was our favourite. The staff in the pro shop were so attentive and helpful and a credit to the club. The practice facilities were exceptional and (apart from the wind howling) the course was difficult but most enjoyable. To end our day, the restaurant facilities matched everything else we found at this great club. We would definitely recommend and revisit when the opportunity arises.

Commonwealth golf club, is one of the many wonderful and great golf courses on the Melbourne sandbelt. This is an exclusive member's only golf course, there are a few ways to be able to get a game there, one you will need to know a member or there is a golf event arranged by a 3rd party at the venue. I was invited by my friend who is been a long member, a member guest competition day. It was overwhelming driving in, everything was just so well maintained and just was very pleasing to the eye. The course was just awesome. As can be seen by the pictures. The staff at the pro shop were friendly and great to chat to and find out information on golf products or course knowledge. Practice facility is top knotch. Golf course magnificent. The golf course plays difficult as it is a tight treelined layout. Also beware if you land in the bunker on the full the ball will plug, have fun getting it back in play 🤣😂🤣. The fairways make it, no excuse not to flush the ball. The biggest challenge I found is on the greens. With very subtle breaks, smooth roll and fast. Your game on the greens will make or break your game. It is well worth it, if you get a chance to play on this beautiful golf course.

Great challenge on sand belt and made more so with 50kph winds on the day. Fantastic facilities, layout and course.

Nice course. 100 years old. Established trees and typical Sandbelt design. Greens are little tricky because if u get from the wrong side, it will always move u away from the hole. I have a bit of challenge about no snacks and drinks in between. Also, no buggies !!!! I took away one star because of that.

Such friendly and welcoming members and staff. The course is in fantastic condition, and the renovations to the greens and layout will make it a first- class golf course. Each round is a pleasure to play, irrespective of how many strokes I have taken!

Wonderful. I loved the course, especially the fairway

I am not a golfer, however my husband is. He is a passionate member of Commonwealth. I attend as many events as I can with John, and I have to say, Andrew and his team do an exceptional job. From the bar staff, catering, social committee, pro shop and members, everyone that I have had the pleasure in meeting have been so friendly and professional. I am very happy for my husband to play golf as often as he likes; he's made such wonderful friendships. Congratulations Commonwealth Golf Club on being such an inclusive and friendly club that both members and their families can enjoy.

Took my 2 year old grandson to the playground. He loved going down the long slide Lots of things for the kids to play on Has barbecues and lots of seating both in sun or shade. Can walk to the lake and see all the ducks and geese. Coffee shops nearby

A very busy but very fun park. A nice long slide and several different areas with different activities.

It is a nice playground. My kid love it. Specially the big slider.

Great park! Love the BBQ's 🌭🍔

Great park for children, toilets, BBQ etc

My kids love climbing the big blue mountain and then go down the slide. Lots of wooden tables perfect for lunch or gatherings. We've also celebrated many birthdays. Easy to supervise the kids :)

Happy safe friendly and on Friday noon its special and full of joy.

My son really enjoys with our first time to visit here in this park. He was amazed and had really fun. We will keep coming to this park since it is close to our area. What a wonderful park. Best bonding time with my son!

Great spot for fur babies. Has plenty off leash area to run around . It is fenced off. There is one spot not fenced off where fur baby can escape so look out for it. Lots of friendly dogs and people.

Good combination of playground equipment and layout. Handy having a toilet block as well.

Besides a kiddies paradise! There’s a golf driving next here?!?!! Woooah!!

Our first outing in a very long time. All the kids had a good time in the playground and we enjoyed a picnic lunch in the park.

Another great playground in the Glen Eira area. Relatively recently redeveloped playground with multiple amazing slides, plenty of climbing equipment for all ages, rock climbing walls (suited to older children), swings and see saw. Plenty of shade throughout the playground too making it a fantastic spot to take the kids, even on the hotter days. Parking isn’t fantastic, but it’s still an awesome park and one I’ll definitely be back too!

Good for 2+ years. Closed off to the road and lots of space to run.

Highly recommend these guys. Ian and the team helped me last minute book the costal route for The Camino De Santiago Portuguese route. Organised my bag transfers, hotels with breakfast included all for a really reasonable price. They deserve 10 stars.

We did the Tour de Mont Blanc in Comfort. Every day was interesting and spectacular. Special thanks to our guide Baptiste, who was excellent. The route was challenging but achievable for a group of walkers in their 50's, 60's and 70's. Accommodation was authentic and comfortable. I highly recommend Auswalk.

New Zealand's Abel Tasman Self Guided walk was our second self guided experience with Auswalk. We cannot fault the organisation and accommodation. The tips and suggestions (eg. recommendations for treating drinking water and the reasons why, safety tips etc) add confidence and perspective. The track notes are excellent, and the estimated walking times were accurate. It's so nice to return to comfortable accommodation. The provided trail food was of an excellent standard, and there was plenty of it.

We recently walked the Cape to Cape highlights walk in WA. The walk was beautiful and Auswalk were very organised. On the whole, the walks were long (20 to 25km) and reasonably difficult due to long stretches of sand, which the materials warned of, but the sand was extremely challenging! There were a few options for shortening walks offered. The accomodation was good and we enjoyed the meals offsite particularly breakfast at the White Elephant in Gnarabup overlooking the water and dinner at La Scarpetta in Margaret River. The food provided for the walks was good amd plentiful with the exception of the lunch provided by the Caves Hotel. We had some late changes of arrangements due to family issues and Auswalk were sympathetic and very helpful. Overall we had a great time. We would recommend Auswalk for sure.

Fabulous 5-days of walking on K'Gari Island (formerly known as Fraser Island). Varied terrain on a special Island, with super accommodation, food, and transfers, plus detailed information for us as a self-guided group.

Recently completed the self guided 6 day Queen Charlotte track in New Zealand. A fabulous walk with stunning scenery. Our first time with Auswalk. All communications were easy and with prompt responses. All of the arrangements worked perfectly. Great support provided by Auswalks with detailed information in hard copy including a map and an excellent app containing all required information. Great accomodation and yummy food each night. Thankyou for a memorable trip. Highly recommend Auswalks.

Fantastic 5 days self guided on the Great Ocean Walk. Col and Vanessa from Apollo taxi (daily transfers) were great and very accommodating. Apollo Bay accommodation very central and walking distance to variety of food establishments. The accommodation at Castle Cove on the sheep farm was much more than we expected. Very roomy, relaxing and peaceful with lovely views. The food provided for us there by Shane and Jodi from the Chi Medicinal farm was absolutely amazing and bountiful. We had lovely weather our entire stay and the walk was rewarding every time we had views of the stunning ocean, cliffs and coastline. We would class it as a moderate walk, no days over 6hrs, no walking poles needed and can easily do it in good trail runners if prefer as not carrying much in your day pack. Highly recommend Auswalk.

Nice park 🌳

A gem hidden away from the main Glen Eira road. As a new resident to the area I step into the gardens and find myself carried away culturally and ethnically. There's a real vibe to this well organised place located between Ripponlea and the fringe of St Kilda East filled with joy, where families with children and dogs come together in friendly company, laughter and conversation.

A Park that is wedged behind houses on all sides. Quite a nice quiet spot most days, but can be crowded on weekends with locals. The park land has a history when it used to be part of a cow paddock for an old estate. There's a small playground, toilet and picnic areas. My favourite thing is the very large old gum tree, that I can only assume is pre colonial.

A little gem in suburban St Kilda East with a mixture of native and European flora. The trees are well established and there's a playground down one end. It can get quite busy on the weekends,

Lovely small park with a walk that shows houses from 1920’s. Lucky we got good weather today.

Very peaceful. Clean and well maintained park, childrens playground/obstacle course with adjacent toilet. The gardens receive plenty of sunlight, also have sufficiently larger trees for shade on hot days Dog friendly and interesting walking path throughout the park.

A hidden gem. Great place to bring your kids with a reasonably big kids play area and picnic tables, toilet, covered shelters. There is no BBQ though.

A good dog park in the form of an old sports oval that is now dedicated off leash park, There is always a few people walking their dogs which is nice. There is curently no water for the dogs, which is odd. Maybe the upgrade tjays underway has water in the plan.

Good location. Well fenced dog run area. It's a bit dark around the place at night, some additional lighting either motion or timer activated would allow the place to be utilised after sunset.

Like so many other grounds. Small rooms, but all good, it's a place kids and adults alike can enjoy.

Nice bunch of people and dogs frequent. You get a sense of when smaller vs larger dogs tend to go. There are definitely regulars. Drawbacks are the three ungated openings onto Tucker Road, and if you have a puppy, avoid Axel.

We like to walk there, it’s just an oval area where people play cricket sometimes, but there are lots of dogs so it’s good for socialization.

This is our local, and we are here at least once, maybe twice a day. Nice crowd of regular dogs and owners. Enough space to walk and run.

Large oval so plenty of room to run your (dogs). Other users seemed considerate to other owners. Great facility

It is a very good local park . With some sensory toys for kids. Swings, steps, seesaw and so.

Basketball hoop great addition for teenagers. Great small kids playscape and good picnic facilities mostly in shade from trees or canopy. Not great for ⚽️.

Very nice park and playground, with several brand new, well maintained BBQ facilities and a large sheltered area with tables and chairs. Suits all ages from toddlers to tweenagers.

Such a great park

(Translated by Google) The children spent a special day. (Original) Copiii au petrecut o zi deosebita.

Nice little playground on a quiet Street, with reasonable shade around it.

Boomer swing?

Best playground in the area for young toddlers, it is spacious and very well thought out: soft trees to touch, bee hives with landscapes to contemplate, mist water sprays, mini trampoline.

(Translated by Google) clean, spacious, with tidy bathrooms, with fitness and training spaces, it is the place behind the house where you can take the children to play or where you can go to let the dog run (Original) pulito, ampio, con bagni ordinati, con spazi fitness e allenamento, è il posto dietro casa dove portare i bambini a giocare o dove andare a far correre il cane

I visited the Centre on my own! Wow! What an incredible eye-opener! A MUST place to visit, very educational but incredibly heartbreaking! This tour will definitely move you to tears! It's free entry, but definitely worth donating towards the Centre. Incredible books worth buying, from the foyer! Highly, highly recommend this place!

So informative, a tragic period of time that buggers belief. The building and spaces are beautifully presented, given the topic an absolute miracle. The staff were fantastic.

An absolutely sombre experience. This place is excellently laid out and very respective operated. I wish I had more time to spend learning.

Incredible and poignant displays. Our group spent a few hours here listening to a Holocaust survivor and exploring the artifacts. Amazing experience.

The Jewish Holocaust Centre (JHC) (formerly known as the Jewish Holocaust Museum and Research Centre) was founded in Elsternwick, Melbourne, Australia, in 1984 by Holocaust survivors. Its mission is to commemorate the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis between 1933 and 1945. The centre was founded without significant public or private funds and thus has always had to rely on support from Holocaust survivors, their relatives, volunteers and philanthropists. It is thanks to the unique contribution of Melbourne's Holocaust survivors that the JHC has become a vibrant institution. The Centre contains a specialist Holocaust library, a collection of over 1300 survivor video testimonials as well as thousands of original documents, photos, artworks and objects from the Holocaust period. Jewish Holocaust Centre The purpose of the JHC is to fight racism and to encourage harmony within the community. It attempts to reach these goals by providing information about the Holocaust through its permanent exhibition and periodic temporary exhibitions. The main focus lies on the younger generation, and over 21,000 students visit the museum every year and participate in a powerful education program. In 2011 the museum was the recipient of the MAGNA Best Small Museum award by Museums Australia, following a redesign of the permanent exhibition. Apart from guided tours through the museum, which are often led by Holocaust survivors, the JHC offers adult education programs, teacher training and also hosts lectures which are open to the public. Furthermore, the JHC provides assistance for Holocaust Survivors in cooperation with JewishCare, a Jewish welfare organization.

Absolutely a moving experience. Surprisingly well crafted and rooted in local survivors experiences.

The Everybody Had a Name exhibition is definitely worth spending some hours visiting; so much to learn about. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to gain some small understanding of the horror endured and experienced by our Jewish friends in WWII. We must never forget! This museum can hold its own among other similar museums in Europe.

Viewed the drone display which was excellent. The string quartet worked hard to share their music and story telling. The only thing to consider for future events is signage from the train station to direct audience to the entry point/queue point.

In this instance the beautiful historic Caulfield Racecourse was host to the Melbourne Fair. A collection of the most beautiful antiques! After a few hours pottering,I was able to appreciate how beautiful this place is. I imagine if would be very busy during race season. Worth a visit!!

I'm so glad I went! Just beautiful in every aspect! Definitely going again next year if it's available!

I came here for Elmo's Circus Dream and would definitely suggest getting there early as the car park was almost full. The circus itself was amazing definitely thought of the kids.

We went for the Drone Show. The show itself was nice but the logistics and operations were poorly planned. There was a massive traffic jam. The organisers wanted us to go to Car Park 9 , and because it is winter and gets dark early, the gate number wasn't visible and there were no markers to assist. The food stalls were crowded. Long Q's.

Great drone event. Not a fan of the very classic Vivaldi music. To one sided. Contemporary music would suit more patrons in my view.

Went to see a drone show but parking was horrible drove around the block for 25 min just to find everything was pre booked So next time public transport in. The drone show was amazing though.

Princes Park in Melbourne is a beloved green space that offers a wide array of recreational opportunities.

Very open area. Beautiful space

I used to come here with my neighbour Craig before the lack of traction on sandy paths proved too difficult and we had to go asphalt only. It’s a nice circuit to walk or run, not circular or rectangular, rhomboid or trapezoid, elliptical or octagonal so you don’t have a sense of how far to go.

Awesome place to watch vfl , AFLW and great place if you're a Carlton Blues fan because it's the original and spiritual home ground for Carlton Blues from Bruce

The best jogging track in the inner city, also has the Capital City Trail cutting through horizontally and city skyline views. A great place to invest in your 1 hour of exercise time.

Park with old trees, the management seems to like chopping trees a lot and replacing them, please keep the old trees !!! Park has Toilet facilities , club facilities, used by many sports groups. Close to the city has feel of the vintage last century era about it.

Nice place for a walk with your dog, a run a bike ride or a game of tennis or squash (courts for both). Cool view of the city.

A big ground for walk/jog around. Dog lovers will love it. Parents will enjoy running around with kids. Feeling hungry well Barbecue is there (but only if you come prepared to use it 😜). If feeling lazy just relax and enjoy the nature.

There is something for everyone here - excellent playground for toddlers, shaded area, barbecue facilities, toilets, half basketball court, tennis courts, paved paths for young kids to ride their tricycles, oval for dogs to run around.

Not a lot of shade around, scorching cricket game, great pitch though

Nice park with two large ovals for kids and dogs to play

Kids loved it awesome they have refabed the park well done Frankston city council

Fantastic park for the dogs to run around off leash.

Great park for the kids and family . Pet friendly too. It has a great children's play ground and a basketball hoop too. Looking forward to seeing the new redevelopment for the cricket/football club rooms. Great place to do your afternoon walks.

Victory Park is great for walking the dog. It's also good for children, as there's a playground and picnic table nearby. Cricket and soccer clubs play here. There's a tennis club as well Public toilet available

Great place for sport. We have tennis, golf practice section, a playground for kids as well as two ovals for soccer and in summer, cricket. Also a BBQ area. Dogs are welcome there also, although the area is not fenced. The only problem is, not all owners clean up after their dogs, but most do.

it's beautiful and nice.. I'm happy to be here.. i feel relax and enjoy.. i love to see the dogs and very good atmosphere.. i wish to come back again to my next vacation... 🥰😍💖💕

Two great ovals very well maintained Dog friendly but still clean, park benches, soccer goals in the season and cricket too even a golf practice net and cricket cages, a club house and kids play ground. Some additional parking has been added so all up a great local spot

Awesome park located in the west of Bentleigh. Home of a junior soccer club and a cricket club. I often come with my dog as it is an awesome place with plenty of space that is never too busy.

This is a beautiful, well kept, multi-use park. They have soccer on in winter, cricket in summer and dog play/ walking all year round. The two fields/ pitches, childrens' playground, covered BBQ spot (can be booked for small events) and toilet are positives. Tip: The parking lot is reasonable for normal days but quickly fills up during sporting events. At those times, there can be many vehicles parked on Patterson Road.

Water bowl for dogs is good. Although it is near the kids playground. 2 good size ovals. Has poo bags available. Parking near the oval is good.

Caulfield racecourse market is on the 1st Sunday of every month from 9.00am to 2.00pm Great when weather is nice. Lots of stalls for gifts, plants , jewellery and food. Marquees surround the lake in middle of racecourse. Free entry. Lots of people walk there dogs there or have a BBQ.

Still lovely, but sadly the current trust seem to be very anti dogs. The 2nd dam where the dogs could cool off now fenced off and a murky cement puddle, with no off flow, and too small provided with a fancy signboard which probably cost more then the dog play area. No shade, minimal wayer. But you can still walk the outside track and centre area . Good parking, but not what it used to be .

Good park for dogs. Caged off, works well to blow a bit of steam. Need to be mindful of other dogs and dog owners not knowing how to control dogs though

It’s now a depressing place to take your dogs. The dog pool is dangerous, full of algae which can cause serious sickness. Avoid at all costs

Great public attraction. Lots of room for walkers and dog walkers. Public facilities in the middle and a dog off leash area.

Be VERY careful taking your dogs here. Although it is a great place for a walk with lots of space, it also attracts all the uncontrollable dogs. Within 3 visits, both my dogs had altercations with untrained, aggressive dogs. My spoodle was attacked by 2 off-leash, uncontrollable rottweilers and was left with puncture wounds. The owner did not apologise but said "that's just how they play". My kelpie puppy was also chased away by 2 uncontrollable bully breed dogs, with complete disregard from the owners.

Signs could include how to access carpark within reserve. Well lit tunnel for pedestrians. Clean toilets and picnic benches. Quiet park during the week.

Wow... so brave. The first two empty rooms, are a little ostentatious yet also breathtaking in the simplicity, but once you get into the third room (also empty except for the hoody resting on a water cooler)... that's where the magic happens. The Monash University Museum of Art is just a great place to spend 30 to 40 seconds. I give it one star... purely to keep with the minimalist theme.

SHAME ON YOU FOR CANCELING (I'LL EAT MY HAT IF IT IS, AS YOU SAY, ONLY POSTPONED) KHALED SABSABI'S EXHIBITION. AND YES, I'M SHOUTING.

I can’t stop thinking about my great visit to the museum—the quality was exceptional. Each room was curated to highlight surprising and meaningful connections. Staff were friendly hosts who helped me dive deeper into the content. The digital models and interactive touchpoints were particularly memorable and fun. The atmosphere throughout the museum was calm and welcoming. I really appreciated the clearly marked routes and comfortable rest spots. Without a doubt, a standout cultural destination—I’ll be spreading the word!

MUMA is an important part of Monash Art Design & Architecture. It is a research-based art museum that cooperated internationally, and it is also one of the leading art museum in Melbourne. They have a very professional and academic in-house curatorial team supported by MADA and Monash art foundation.

Lovely place. Free, great for students

Great Vivienne Binns exhibition.

Great tee shirts Thank you

Absolutely love this linear park. It is so pretty. It's a pity it doesn't go to the beach. It needs to be extended.

Brilliant, safe walking trail Water only available for walkers who carry their own bottle (refill station, no bubbler) if you're a dog walker, fill a clean poop bag with water from the "cyclists only" tap haha

Great surroundings, park is nice with swings and playground rides for kids, not far away from public transport either.

A good place to walk. Very close to Allnut Park. The people in the area are friendly.

It's pitch black at night it really needs lights

Very nice.

Beautiful

Very well-maintained, dog-friendly reserve with multiple facilities including a football oval (off-leash area for dogs) & club rooms, tennis courts, walking paths, a playground, water stations, public toilets and a large grassed area (dogs on-lead only) on the far side of the reserve. There is a carpark located near the oval at the back of the Bowls Club, which can be accessed from Centre Rd, as well as free street parking around the perimeter of the reserve (some parking restrictions along sections of some streets apply so best to be vigilant when parking). Plenty of trees within the reserve for shade as well as several park benches around the perimeter of the reserve. Several garbage reciprocals are also located within the reserve.

Nice little park next to Woolworths and obviously maintained well as workers there while I was walking around keeping place tidy. Has solemn tribute to fallen soldiers.

Nice small park. Great for a picnic or a walk. Dogs have plenty of space to run around and play. Would recommend if you live nearby.

Just a short walk from our place, lots of room to run, flowers look great!

Nice park with kids if they're not afraid of dogs. Plenty to do to keep kids busy. Comfortable walking track around perimeter of oval.

This is a big park you can go for walking, running or taking your children out there in the playground. I went for running and saw some folks biking in the early morning.

Nice place to go and walk your dog and let your children play at the playground. The playground is on the outer area of a large open space that is a dog off leash zone (playground and nearby path is dog on leash). A foot path circles the open space area for those wishing to get their step count up. There are a couple of public toilets and a basketball court for those brave enough to attempt 3 pointers in public. The area is lit during week nights only.

Caulfield city hall has a nice art gallery. It's free and mostly from amateur / young artists. They have special events every now and then. There is also a library in the back of the building with plenty of carpark spaces at either end. Probably not a type of place were you plan to go and visit solely for the sake of it but if you are in the neighborhood and have some free time on hand is worth paying a visit.

Surprisingly I got what I was asking for, thankfully I get attended too in a civilised manner as I don't like it when I get attacked by anyone especially when it's staff at my local council.

This gallery within the City hall consistantly holds good exhibitions. We have been to a number here and have enjoyed them all

A calm place. Went there for watching Moana at Town Hall. Loved the time spent there.

Conveniently located on the corner of Glen Eira and Hawthorn Roads in the GE town hall, which you can not miss from a kilometer away with its beautiful white clock tower. Plenty of off road parking is available and small but pleasant well tended gardens are a delight to wander through on your way to the one of the entrances. The gallery is best entered through the grand main entrance on the ground floor, ten steps and you are in this tranquil welcoming art gallery. Greeted with a friendly hello and a smile from one of the charming ladies tending the reception desk one is handed a catalogue and a brief but informative preview of what exhibition is currently being presented. The joy is that this gallery not only has a small resident exhibition but every few weeks a new artist, art group or renown artist is featured as the main presentation for one's delight and enjoyment. I highly recommend the Glen Eira gallery for a family or couples visit in a lovely environment for a couple of hours.

I attended a residents meeting. Plenty of chairs for participants. Pre covid the council held musical programs which were entertaining, good value and well attended. I'm looking forward to the day when they can resume.

Wow! 3.7 star rating? Not surprised at all. The lady on the phone named Jill was not only unhelpful but very rude at the same time. She should know how to respect and talk to the clients. The voice was breaking up on my end, as she could hear everything clearly, what I was saying(guessed from her prompt muffled reply). When asked something she had huge problem explaining things over again as she was literally yelling. I would hardly recommend not to talk to her, when you try to call. She should definitely learn some customer service etiquettes.

This is a fairly small park located on the corner of North Avenue and South Avenue in Bentleigh, not from Patterson train station. There's a picnic area with two picnic tables with bench seats on either side, one of these is sheltered under a small rotunda, a couple of park benches overlooking a bright and colourful kids playground. There's also a drinking fountain but no BBQs. There' no on-site parking but limited street parking. Being close to train tracks it's sometimes referred to as the Train Park and is a popular place for train lovers both young and old. The park is an on-leash area, which means you must keep your dog on-leash at all times.

Came during morning on a sunny day. The reserve had a amazing 400 metre track. It also has an enormous oval where you can play with you dog or cat and there was also a soccer goal so you can play soccer. The area is vibrant with green, soft grass covering the area and the giant trees add on to the environment.

An excellent multi function Reserve. Netball Courts, Sports Oval, Athletic Track, and a Children's Playground. There is also a tan track around the reserve (2.2km) as well as a Public Fitness Gym and other fitness stations. The public toilets 🚻 at the pavilion and the ones near the oval are clean and accessible.

This is a lovely picnic area, perfect for families. The playground is a wonderful place for kids to have fun, and it offers parents a great spot to enjoy some quality time with their children in a safe and welcoming environment.

Nice place to go for a walk, run and a bike ride, bbq and playground and good parking spaces available

A multifunctional sports precinct. With a professional-grade athletics track, netball courts, mixed-purpose fields, large off-leash dog areas and an outdoor gym. 🏟️ Plenty of free parking 🅿️. And bathrooms 🚻♿.

The field out the back behind the track and the netball courts is soooo big a footy match and a soccer match was going on and there was still enough space for me and my doggo. Also has water and bins so recommend this park highly! Close to a road though so if you don't have good recall don't risk it.

Great location, with facilities. There is huge commercial kitchen and I really wish they allow to use dishwasher as they have locked it. I am a caterer and loving this place. I had done 4 catering in recent time.

It's just about 5 minutes' drive from the murrumbeena pharmacy. It's a small park with restroom, kids' play area and nice seating arrange. I made full use of the snakes and ladders like the kid i am at heart. However, I do request the council to re-paint that because the numbers are almost faded. Also liked the snake sculpture to complement the space. Surely a good space for kids and adults to walk and relax.

A great playground for younger children. Very well maintained, and nice to have the shadecloth and seating. Toilet facilities would make this playground perfect!

Western end (nearest Hughesdale station) is incredible. In approximately 5 years the guys who look after the park have done a wonderful job. It is a flora & fauna photographers dream

The large lawn is beautiful. The playground equipment is suitable for small children. There are trash cans and benches, but no restrooms or BBQ facilities.

Not worth a drive... Some construction was going on nearby... Also, there were not many swings... Moreover, I Couldn't find any dustbin in the park! Park is good for those who stay nearby but it's definitely not worth a drive...

Amazing playground for children. Not fenced off, but far away from any roads. It has a bike path that runs through the middle of the park making it a great space for learning to ride a bike/practicing riding as well as a nice place to play. Dog off leash area close by, but not at the playground making it suitable for families with dogs. Only thing missing is a public toilet...

Great environment to relax, people/dog watch or have a picnic with friends.

Great park for kids, dog walkers, families etc. Has nice undercover play area and basketball court. Lots of lovely open space, next to Glen Eira Bowls Club.

Playground a little worn out; but access ramps have recently been renewed. New outdoor sports facilities including basketball, netball, tennis, soccer & table tennis. Quite nice gardens near Box Cottage Museum.

Always tidy. Great even footpaths which makes it accessible. Wish there were more places to sit

Great park for my 7yo son, Green enough, only missing a public B.b.q and more then one bench seat for the entire park.

Nice little park with decent picnkick spots. Plenty of parking and hardly ever busy

Great little park with an area for off leash dog walking and a separate area with playground equipment for the children. Very friendly a great place for playing ball or a quick walk with your dog. Seemed to be a lot of regulars who were all very welcoming

I really like this playground. Its not "spectacular" like some other adventure type parks or modern/newly-designed parks, but it has all the facilities you need for a fun time. Beautiful gardens at the Jasper Rd end (west end), and playground, BBQ facilities, ball courts, and doggy park/oval at the eastern end (back streets). Also has path for riding bikes and scooters, toilets and small car park.
