Visit Royal Melbourne Botanic Gardens, at Birdwood Avenue Melbourne
– Nature Play the kids picked up a card which had items to then ‘go seek’ amongst the gardens. We picked up ‘wildlife’ to spot birds, insects, butterflies. There was also other cards to seek colours and/or leafage.
– Within the Ian Potter Children’s Garden you’ll find Water Play which is great when weather is warmer and the kids enjoyed running through it to cool off.
– Kitchen Garden the kids took watering cans and magnify glasses and looked through this garden to identify different herbs that I cook.
– Arid Garden is hard to spot it’s FULL of Cacti and succulents. There’s also a kids activity in this area where they try to find different cacti and trace over them with chalk provided.
– The Explorer Bus again this is such a large space so if you have kids or elderly it’s a great option to pre book the bus and you can use Small Ideas 2 for 1 discount.
– on site Cafe so of course, we purchased home made ice cream also bribery to leave as the kids could of stayed till night fall they enjoyed so much!
