Our family played a round of mini golf here and loved everything about it. It felt secluded with all the surrounding gardens, was creative and sometimes a little challenging. The kids (8 & 10), really enjoyed themselves, as did the adults. The entry price was reasonable, and considering the course took 5 of us around 1.5 hours, it was value for money.

I had low expectations for what a zoo could offer in the grampians, however it was such an impressive zoo. There was such a range of animals, from pigs, monkeys, kangaroos, and giraffes. There is a map, which guides you through the zoo to ensure you see every animal. There is animal food sold at the entrance, so you are even able to feed free roaming deer, kangaroos and wallabies. I particularly liked the guineapigs, as there were so many of them, and lots of little babies.

This Lookout had a great view, and it next to the carpark, there is another lookout within a short walking distance from this one. It can get busy during peak times. But the views are worthwhile to look at.
9. Fish Falls

The walk from the Zumsteins Picnic Ground to Fish Falls, in the beautiful Wartook Valley, is a delightful nature walk that follows the creek to the falls. A medium level of fitness is required, as there are some uneven sections and rocky ground in places. As well as beautiful fresh air and the sounds of birds, views of the creek break up the walk along the way. Fish Falls are accessible from 3 levels linked by sturdy metal stairs. From the top level you can rock hop over a few large boulders to access the track which continues on to the base of Mackenzie Falls. This is an easier option to get to the base of Mackenzie Falls (rather than the steep climb down and up from the Mackenzie Falls car park). All up the walk is about 7 km return, well worth the effort to enjoy the beautiful scenery and be immersed in the sights, smells and sounds of nature. Take a back pack and break the walk up with stops for lunch and snacks and you will have an enjoyable morning/afternoon outing.

The drive to the car park was lovely, the roadside in places adorned with an array of wildflowers (it is Spring). Unfortunately the day we chose to go on this very steep walk, there was a lot of low cloud and drizzly rain so the only scenery on the way up was the roadside flora, which were enjoyed on our many stops to catch our breath. On reaching the summit there was no view at all (as we had expected) due to the low cloud. We did not stay long before beginning our decent. We had not gone very far before the cloud began to lift with magical swirling cloud formations, giving us a peak at the landscape beyond. We decided to go back up to the summit and were rewarded with the most amazing 360 degree views of Grampians and the area surrounding it as the cloud totally lifted (we were very lucky). On the decent we were able to enjoy the surrounding landscape that we missed on the way up. So we had two very different experiences, both amazingly beautiful. Would definitely recommend but be prepared for a heart racing ascent. The road is sealed so you do not have to negotiate an uneven track, but it is very steep.
