It’s time to put away the devices, turn off the screens and get outside for some fresh air and adventure!
ME: GOOGLE!!!!! Where can we take the kids this weekend?
GOOGLE: Studies have shown that spending time outside with kids is a great idea
ME: But where do I take them? Oh, never mind, I’ll just ask Three Hearts Photography ;)
I have just what you need right here!
An amazing list of ideas and adventures to get you and your family outside and exploring this weekend!
Australia Gardens (Cranbourne Gardens)
Australia Gardens is located in Cranbourne and is an absolute hidden gem of Melbourne!
You willl have so much to explore and discover and the kids will have fun along the way. It is a mixture of plants, water, sculptures and fun for the whole family. If you haven’t been or even if you have, but it’s been a while, then make this one a priority and enjoy all that the gardens has for you to explore.
2. Chelsea Bicentennial Park
If you are looking for a playground that stands out from the rest, then head on over to Chelsea Bicentennial Park and see this one for yourself. With amazing slides, musical mushrooms and swings galore, the kids will have no end of fun here. Oh yeah and you can ride a cow!
3. McClelland Sculpture park
Are you looking to introduce your kiddos to some art and sculpture, without worrying if they are going to knock something over and break it? lol
Well, look no further, the McClelland Sculpture Park in Langwarrin, is full of larger-than-life sculptures and creations that you can run around, discover and explore and the best part, they are OUTSIDE!
4. Banjo Paterson Park
You probably already know that I just love Banjo Paterson Park. It’s where we do most of our family photo sessions and it is an absolutely beautiful place to take the kiddos!
Open the car boot, throw in the footy, the basketball, the scooters or the bikes, a kite, the books, the sunhats, the picnic rug and anything else you want to bring along and have an amazing time!
There is so much to do at Banjo Paterson Park and so much fun to be had.
5. alowyn gardens
During the holidays, I was lucky enough to have a couple of kid free days, Thanks Gran and Pa!
So, a friend and I decided to go to Alowyn Gardens. It was my first time there and I have to say, it was amazing! The gardens are so beautifully kept and there is so much to see and explore. Now, while we were able to spend the whole day there, just the two of us, I am not sure you will last a whole day with the kiddos, but you will certainly add in a few hours of fun and adventure in the gardens.
6. Sorrento Back Beach Rock Pools
Now, I have to admit, that I haven’t actually been to this one, but it is on my bucket list to take the kids there and explore the rock pools, so I wanted to share this one with you even though anyway.
Mamma knows south is an amazing blog/Facebook page and website that has so many ideas and adventures for you and your family to enjoy and explore, so I will defer all the real life experiences of this adventure to them. Read all about this one here at MAMMA KNOWS SOUTH - SORRENTO ROCK POOLS
and be sure to tell me all about it.
I hope you have an awesome time out exploring and having fun with your kiddos.
If you visit one of these amazing places and would love to share your adventures, then please let me know all about it. What you loved or what wasn’t so good!
But most of all, ENJOY!!!!!
