I took 10 month old to see farm animals for the first time The farm is easy to find and is located at the end of the road. Parking is not free, not sure of the exact parking rates but we were charged $7.50 for 2 hours. We got to the farm at 2pm, tickets $20 for adults and 10 month old was free, which was good. The farm itself is was okay, some parts of the farm was not suitable for a prams, lots of vegetable gardens scattered all over the property, not many farm animals to see(little sad), cafe was closing up around the time we arrived. Overall, we didn't feel it was worth $20 per adult, not many animals to see, most of the paths are not kid or pram friendly, no activities later in the afternoon. Might come back during school holidays but I feel your money could go a long way at other Melbourne attractions

Such a fun morning out with the kids! We visited the Collingwood children’s farm for the first time a few weeks ago and we had a great experience. There are great ‘hands-on’ experiences for the kids - petting Guinea pigs, patting a cow, petting chickens, etc. The kids loved all of the farm animals and being able to see them up close. There is also a cafe there and some produce available to buy if you wanted to stay for longer! Definitely recommend trying with kids.

A Wonderful City Farm Escape with a Few Suggestions☺️ What a lovely find so close to the Melbourne CBD! We had a wonderful family day out, and it was a genuine delight to watch our little one connect with the animals. Being able to get hands-on and pet the friendly goats, sheep, and guinea pigs was the absolute highlight. While we cherished the experience, a few things could make it even better. We felt the value for money could be improved, perhaps by increasing the number of animals or adjusting the ticket price slightly. We also wished we could have viewed the beautiful horses and cows from a closer vantage point. It would be a magical addition if children could have a simple pat of the ponies included with admission, rather than as a separate paid activity. The facilities are great – the activity barn is a fantastic space for kids, and the café has a really cool, rustic vibe. Our coffees took a bit of time to come out, but the atmosphere was pleasant. Overall, we're so grateful for this farm and the opportunity it provides for city kids. With a few small enhancements, this would easily be a five-star destination for us. We look forward to visiting again!

Loved the atmosphere - so close to the city yet feels like you could be miles away. A great way to connect to nature and the farm life. Would recommend this to all ages as well, not just children/ parents!

Perfect place for kids to play with farm animals. Lots of fun to do in the farm. There’s lots of activities for kids during holidays. And yummy healthy food can buy from the farm cafe.

Nice rural oasis within walking distance of the city centre. Be warned the cafe kitchen closes early (1pm) if no-one is ordering - shame, I was going to get the ploughman's lunch.

Love being able to being a wedding photographer here! Super special place and loads of gorgeous spots for photos with couples. Staff are super friendly and the food is delicious too!

Rose Street Artist Market is the jewel in Fitzroy's hotspot of creativity. The market is crammed with handmade objects from a wide range of quality local artisans. This curated range of ceramics, paintings, jewellery, and sewn objects is the perfect place to buy a gift or souvenir of Melbourne. Stallholders change over time, so there's always a reason to return. Street car parking very hard to find on weekends and is at a premium....take a tram instead.

It's well worth a walk down Rose St in Fitzroy to enjoy this and other markets near by. There is a lot of artistic variety in this market along with artisan offerings including perfumes and teas which were great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a gem in the heart of Fitzroy! The Rose Street Artists’ Market is the perfect spot to spend a relaxed weekend morning. It’s a compact yet lively space filled with stunning artwork, creative homewares, handmade jewellery, and quirky gifts from talented local artists. The layout is easy to walk around, and the vibe is friendly and inspiring. I especially loved how approachable the artists were — you can talk to them about their process and story. Whether you’re looking for something special or just want to soak up Melbourne’s local creative scene, this market is a must-visit! 🌿🎨✨ #Genastar

🎨 Rose Street Artist's Market: A Must-Visit for Unique Melbourne Style! The Rose Street Artists' Market is a true Fitzroy gem and a great spot in Melbourne to find truly unique, handmade pieces. I visited again today (Saturday), and it was buzzing! Vibe & Atmosphere (5/5): The setting is fantastic—the raw, industrial feel of the warehouse and courtyard creates the perfect backdrop for the vibrant, colourful stalls. It’s always a lively, friendly atmosphere. Even the market-goers' dogs are stylish (shoutout to the little one in the puffer jacket!). The Makers & Products (5/5): This is where the market shines. I saw stunning contemporary prints, charming embroidered patches and bookmarks, and beautiful jewellery. A highlight for me was the stand for Lavender Lab, whose natural products were beautifully packaged and smelled incredible. It’s always inspiring to speak directly to the creators about their process. Practical Tips: Hours: It’s open every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm. Getting There: Street parking in Fitzroy can be tough, so taking the tram is definitely the most stress-free option. It's a short tram ride from Parliament railway station. Accessibility: The layout is spread out across a courtyard and covered areas, making it easy to navigate. If you are looking for an authentic piece of Melbourne art, a thoughtful gift, or just a place to spend a stimulating morning or afternoon, the Rose Street Artist's Market is highly recommended. Come ready to chat with the artists and support local talent!

Rose street artists' market is a flea market and opens over the weekends. It is quite a walk from the nearest tram ride (along the same street to go to the fitzroy market). You will arrive to an artistic place with graffiti on the walls. It is generally smaller than fitzroy market but it is nice to have a look around. Nice flea market in the suburbs of Melbourne.

As a stall holder, may I still review? Such a good place to be a stall holder. Always good foot traffic and support from local and overseas visitors. Definitely 5 stars from me!

Love this market! Been wanting to come here for ages but they only open on Saturdays. There’s lots of gorgeous handmade gifts you could get, and this would be a great place to buy your friends gifts!

My wife and I took this tour on a Monday morning a few hours before our flight home and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very animated and obviously loved his job! Great tour through history all the way to current time. Definitely recommend this tour for any whiskey aficionados or anyone with just a taste for Jameson.

I paid about $26 for the Jameson Distillery tour and it was worth every penny. They start with a really cool 3D projector story about the history and how Jameson is made, then you move into a tasting room where you try four different Jamesons and learn how to properly smell and taste whiskey. It truly feels like a world-class experience. The premium ones were noticeably smoother (whiskey by itself definitely grows hair on your chest 😂), but it was fun, informative, and delicious. After the tasting, you get a drink included — they already have a bar set up with several cocktail options, and if you want another drink afterward you can buy more. The tour guide was incredible — funny, knowledgeable, and made it feel like he actually believed every part of the history. It was so good I found myself thinking, “Do y’all hire? I could work here too.” The staff overall was extremely friendly and helpful. They’ll even hold your bags if you’re coming straight from the airport like I was. There’s merchandise at the end if you want to shop, and the whole experience is just a lot of fun from start to finish. I would 100% come back and I’d tell anyone visiting Dublin to add this to their trip.

What an unforgettable experience at the Jameson Distillery! We opted for the Secret Whiskey Package and savored every moment. The tour was a delightful blend of history, craftsmanship, and fun, with fascinating insights into the company’s founder and the art of whiskey making. The highlight? Learning the skills of whiskey tasting, followed by a truly delicious sampling experience. Despite the bustling crowd of fellow travelers, the staff made us feel so special and welcome. We loved every minute and can’t wait to return!

Had a fantastic tasting tour on my second visit to this iconic Irish distillery. The guide’s deep knowledge and entertaining presentation made the experience memorable. It’s no wonder Jameson remains one of the world’s top selling whiskeys. Highly recommended!

Exactly everything you'd expect from a distillery tour. Great tour guide, samples of the whisky, and the best ambiance. All the employees were stellar and very nice to chat with. You can also purchase exclusive bottles you can't get anywhere else in the world.

This is one of the best distillery tour I’ve ever done! I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin. Our tour guide was really informative and had a great demote of knowledge about the history of Jameson’s. I’m not usually a Whiskey drinker but after trying a Jamesons, Ginger Ale and Lime in the bar I am converted.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Jamison Distillery. I went with my husband and my daughter. It was very informative and quite interesting. There were several experiences during the tour. We tasted whiskeys that we hadn't tried before. Our new favorite one is Black Barrel. We've bought a bottle now that we're back home and have shared it with a neighbor. He is now a fan! I recommend going on this tour. It's fun, educational, and it even has a cute little shop inside.

Edinburgh Gardens in North Fitzroy is a spacious and historic park known for its lush lawns, mature trees, and a welcoming community atmosphere. It offers a wide range of amenities, including playgrounds, sports courts, walking paths, and an off-leash dog area, making it ideal for both relaxation and recreation. Popular for picnics and local events, the park is also home to the historic W.T. Peterson Oval. While it generally receives praise for its charm and versatility, some visitors have noted occasional issues with litter and maintenance. Overall, it remains a much-loved green space in Melbourne’s inner north.

Large park with various facilities on site - public toilets (north side toilets seem cleaner than the south ones), playgrounds (south side bigger and fenced, both north and south have BBQs), table-tennis table, tennis courts, basketball half court, lawn bowls, skate park, ovals. About half of the east side is designated dog off-leash area, so I'd picnic on the west side instead. Alcohol consumption permitted between 9am and 9pm. There are a few bookable areas for events, cost looks pretty standard, generally <1k though it really depends on size of event and types of permits required, with discounts available for non profits. Free parking available.

Nice park. Has skating and basketball area (as I could see) Toilets are clean and so is the park. A pretty maintained place. Lots of dogs socialising, so there is a high chance that your doggy would love this place too.

Great for the dogs! Parking is free on the side of the street closest to the park, but check the signs, (it's permit only on the side with the houses). Its a nice quiet suburban area. People are pretty good about picking up after their dogs and there is water available at the water tank. Some lovely paths, a basketball court, soccer field and plenty of open area, as well as shaded spots, perfect for picnics.

Edi gardens is a place for all ages to come together to celebrate life! We love our gardens. It’s awesome to see so many people of all ages and especially the young generation enjoying the simple things in life! There’s people having picnics, celebrating special occasions, having a wine 🍷, relaxing to music, playing games, basketball, tennis, table tennis, skating, scrabble, cards, personal training, gym exercise, or people watching! Everyone is so friendly and our dog is always in heaven when he’s here. It’s great to see dog owners keeping the park clean and picking up after their dogs!! It’s a mini NYC Central Park! 🥰

Such a nice, quiet yet big garden that has excellent facilities onsite. There’s a skateboard ramp, basketball courts, kids playground, public toilets, plenty of bins around and park benches. Free parking along St George Rd. Maybe lacking a bit of some flowers display, but I’m being nitpicky here. Excellent location also, close by to a library, tram stops and restaurant/cafes.

Fabulous gardens in Melbourne’s inner north. On a sunny weekend this park will be packed with picnickers and on nice week days it’s a great place to catch up with friends. My husband and I actually got married here so we obviously love it. There’s a big offlead dog park, basketball courts, tennis courts, a skate park, and multiple playgrounds.

Went to the Photobook exhibition. A nice little community run space with lots of enthusiastic art community members. Interesting show but perhaps a little lost in Melbourne. Love the area and Saturday nights nearby are fabulous for a feed of any type of food!!

I recently visited the Centre for Contemporary Photography (CCP) gallery and was amazed by the three exhibitions currently on display. From traditional black-and-white pieces to contemporary color photography, each show offered something unique and captivating. The CCP is a real haven for photographers and art lovers alike - it truly offers something special. The atmosphere of the space is inviting and inspiring, with plenty of room to explore and appreciate each piece of artwork. The staff are also incredibly knowledgeable about all of the works, so if you have any questions they're always happy to help.

Very professional and comfortable with a nice variety of photography on display

Not a big gallery; however good books in the book shop and good choices of artist.

Eclectic gallery devoted to Australian photography.

A small art gallery that is also used for wedding ceremonies. Lots of wonderful black and white photos on the walls.

I know my comments will go against the flow, and likely will be evidence for some that I am a philistine who knows nothing about art. So be it. If you relish the idea of lots of Chinese nudity, together with photos of children, also Chinese, displaying evidence of abnormal development and physical abuse, then you must go to the CCP / I mean the Centre for Contemporary Photography (get it?). Along with the photographs are “blurbs” to explain each photographer’s intentions and background, in English and Chinese. These are quite interesting and informative. And yet, the descriptions are sometimes confronting and jarring, as for example, describing the children’s expressions as “care free” when they clearly were anything but. At one level, I know that art interpretation is very individual, and any example of artistic expression may give rise to opposite emotional responses. But surely, there must be some common ground, some sharing of values, some appeal by the artist to share his or her perspective of the subject? Sorry but this collection failed to reach this basic goal for me.
