A Melbourne family holiday wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Luna Park.
The iconic amusement park in St Kilda has been entertaining visitors for generations, with rides ranging from family-friendly options to bigger thrills for older kids and grown-ups. Its location also makes it easy to combine with a wander around St Kilda and the waterfront.

Make a day of it on Phillip Island
One of those experiences that tends to stick in the family memory long after the holiday is over, the Phillip Island Penguin Parade is a must-consider for families visiting Victoria.
Each evening, little penguins return from the ocean to their homes on Phillip Island, creating the unique spectacle that attracts visitors from around the world.
It’s worth remembering that the Penguin Parade takes place in the evening, so families with younger children may want to plan their day around a later bedtime. You can also combine the experience with other Phillip Island attractions and make a full day of it.
