1. Australian National Aviation Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 98 reviews
The Museum is one of the oldest volunteer run Museums, with a collection of over 50 aircraft and engines and many relics. This is the most complete and important collection of Australian built aircraft, with some examples being the oldest surviving ones in the world

Always a great day at this museum, the volunteers are all very friendly and knowledgeable and the shop well stocked with aviation books and plastic kits at reasonable prices, great aircraft on display and you have free access to the cockpits and interiors of a lot of the aircraft as well as many other displays, I particularly liked the WW1 items.
2. Braeside Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 30 reviews
Braeside Park is an oasis of parkland nestled amongst golf courses, urban development and busy roads. As you stroll through the park’s Red Gum grassy woodlands, heathland and around the wetlands, it's easy to forget you're surrounded by the suburbs. This is a great park for a family day out. Cook up a feast on one of the free electric barbecues, or enjoy a picnic on the lawn. Kids of all ages will love exploring the adventure playground. Get active and walk, jog or cycle along the multi-purpose trails. Walk where Phar Lap's hooves pounded the turf along the historic race course trail. Stroll through the park’s Red Gum grassy woodlands, heathland and around the wetlands.

The park is huge, surrounded with plenty of car parks, lots of grass areas and shaded areas. Most of the car parks were full, but the park is so big there is tons of space considering Covid social distancing. Big playground and space for the kids to run wild. Will definitely be back.
3. Karkarook Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 27 reviews
Karkarook Park is a recreational and environmental oasis, revegetated with indigenous plants. It's the perfect spot to get in touch with nature; watch the sun set across the lake from the pier or see how many different birds you can spot. The 15-hectare lake is a good spot for canoeing, kayaking or sailing. Previously a sand mine, it now provides a home for many water birds. Grab your fishing line and try to catch a Rainbow Trout or Red Fin. Get active and walk, jog or cycle around the 6km of trails in the park. The Lake Trail goes all the way around the lake. It's a great walk to explore the park. There's a small jetty along the trail — a good spot to drop a line and try your luck fishing. Bird watchers can take a short detour

Coming from different locations in bayside Melbourne, our group gathered in Karkarook Park, on a weekday in early December. Some of our group arrived early to secure a rotunda and electric barbecue. There were not many picnickers on this day but at the weekend it would no doubt be more difficult. Parks Victoria website has a visitor information PDF with a very good map of the park area. Mothers with prams and other walkers/runners were making good use of the tracks. Wheelchairs would easily cope with the paved lakeside path. The park is also dog friendly and includes a free range area. The usual responsible dog ownership applies. Make sure you have a 'doggy' pick-up bag with you. We spent about three hours at the park just having lunch and socialising. It's a 'take your rubbish home' park so remember to put in a rubbish bag if you are picknicking.

For the Summer the reserve has a fun fair in attendance. Mordialloc is a magnet for seaside activities and this is just one more until schools go back.

lovely long beach with lovely long sand bars when tide is low and with the addition of the soon to be completed life saving club will be even better

There is a very attractive playground, car parking, and public toilets (all at the Surf Life Saving Club) and shops nearby. Of course, the beach is wide, sandy, and clean. It is very close to the highway and railway station.
7. Mordialloc Beach

Reviewed By platypus150 - Melbourne, Australia
The beach is wide, sandy and clean. It does not have large waves or rips, so it quite safe. On shore there are public toilets, picnic shelters, BBQs and a playground in the Peter Scullin Reserve. Food can be bought nearby and the bus and rail services nearby make up for the high demand for car parking.

Reviewed By 1986theatretraveller - Melbourne, Australia
Walking along Mordialloc Pier is stunning with beautiful views and a great nature escape. Although it was quite windy on our visit I still enjoyed myself immensely. The water has beautiful blues and the sand is a warm golden colour providing a great contrast. What was surprising was how pristine the beach was. Parking is $3.50 an hour which is cheaper than other beaches.

Have you ever wanted to drive over rough terrain? Through water obstacles? Drive over the tops of cars like a monster trucks? Get airborne over jumps? Climb hills like a 4WD? Over old wooden logs, rocks and tyres? Through crazy tunnels? THEN WILD BUGGY IS FOR YOU!
Reviewed By ofern2017
Was lots of fun for my 7 years old son. 20 minute session with instructor/driver (kids have no pedals & buggy has dual steering)@ $49. Track looks cool and fun to drive. Bring your own food and drinks or there's plenty of options for that within a 2-15 minutes driving radius.
