Tucked away in the rain shadow of the You Yang Range, it is a delight to find this oasis of biodiversity. Endangered species such as rufous bettongs, bandicoots and brush-tailed rock wallabies are plentiful and easily viewed in this predator-free conservation park. Our guide was considerate and informative, taking care to ensure everyone in the group (which ranged from kids to people in their seventies) had ample opportunity to see the wildlife and to hear her explanations. The gentle night walk took about an hour, and wound gradually up Mount Rothwell to a magnificent view of Melbourne, then back again to the interpretive centre. Highly recommended.

A fun park to take young children for a picnic or a BBQ. Interesting to explore the pathways and look at the bird life and play on the playground.

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.

Terrific road out of Barwon Heads follows the length of 13th beach. Taking it in fast (in car), medium (stop at lookouts) or slow (walk beach). Sunsets are a drawcard to watch and savour.

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.

Very disappointed at negative reviews advising people not to visit . This is a rescue centre for injured wildlife where keepers volunteer their time. This is not a zoo! This place relies on visitors and donations for the public in order to continue caring for injured and surrendered animals. If you truly care about the welfare of animals then this is great place to visit, if you are interested in animals purely your own amusement then leaving scathing reviews is most unhelpful for those of that care. If you do visit best to teach your children to be respectful and behave accordingly. My 4 kids did become slightly unruly towards the end so we knew it was time for us to leave ????

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.
