Geelong Adventure Specialists

A fantastic guided experience. Jeremy took us to a great spot in the You Yangs that provided a challenging and enjoyable experience for myself and my 13 year old son. Would highly recommend his service.

MoPA: Museum of Play and Art

Geelong Children's Museum, MoPA: Museum of Play and Art, is a beautiful and creative space for children and families to play and learn together. Visitors can roam and engage with the immersive experiences, or join in on any number of artful activations with the amazing team of educators. The Museum is open 7-days a week but tickets are limited - so forward bookings are highly recommended (via their website)!

MoPA is an amazing space and concept. Each area has been carefully considered and made completely for kids - Finally! And then there's the cafe with lovely coffee, food and snacks for everyone. The staff are amazing, helpful, kind and fun. There are plenty of extra activities too, like dance party, paint crafts and paint the car. Will definitely be frequenting MoPA.

Eastern Beach Reserve

Reviewed By Radjoc947 - Grovedale, Australia

A great place for a family day at the beach. Spacious lawn area ideal for a picnic, great facilities for the kids from the youngest to adults. Children's pool for the little ones, makes a safe environment for families. Cafe with take away food on site. Established in 1938 but upgraded only a few years back, it has always been popular with locals and visitors alike.

National Wool Museum

Here the story of wool is brought to life - told by those who lived it and through the sights and the sounds of heritage machines weaving carpets and knitting socks. Here the smell of lanolin fills the air, fresh fleece beckons your touch and the authentic surrounds of the shearing shed immerse you in the Australian wool story. The National Wool Museum experience is more than just wool. Here history, science, fashion, handcraft and art come together. Here temporary exhibitions and programs combine learning, exploration and entertainment. Here you can find the finest woollens, learn a traditional craft, explore our region's heritage and maybe even come fate-to-face with creatures from our past. Today the National Wool Museum is one of Australia's cultural treasures - as a cultural heritage destination for visitors and community.

Reviewed By MathesonGrant - Little River, New Zealand

This wasn't high on my to-do list in Geelong but it turned out to be a really interesting museum with some hands on exhibits - try your hand at grading wool or work the sock knitting machine. The carpet loom is fascinating though I'm still in the dark about how it works. There was also an international wildlife photography exhibition which was amazing. My 10 year old and I spent about 2 hours here. Highly recommend.

Steampacket Gardens

Reviewed By AzarulF

We went there in the afternoon but the weather was not kind to us. However, me and the kids enjoyed our time there. The view is great, there are many cafes and restaurants around the gardens. There is also bollards which can come alive if you install their apps.

We visited this January and the Christmas tree lightings were awesome. A whole night with the sound of music lightings was there and scenic beauty of the ships, water in the night make an awesome day. There is also a flyer for the kids families to see the city from the sky.
