5 Top Attractions in Melbourne
If you are planning a trip to Melbourne, chances are it is a once in a lifetime trip; you will want to experience everything that this wondrous city has to offer.
It can be difficult to narrow down your list to just a few things.
Here are five attractions that you should include in your 'to do' list.
1) Great Barrier Reef: This is one of the natural wonders of the world.
It spans over 2,600 kilometres and is so large it can be seen from outer space.
There are many boat tours and cruises you can book to see this amazing sight; you can even scuba-dive, snorkel or swim to see the many coral gardens and marine animal species that live here.
2) Eureka Skydeck 88: Definitely a thrill of a lifetime as you view Melbourne from 88 stories up.
Go at night for a glittering view of the city.
Fun for the whole family, although they do discourage pregnant women from going up.
3) Carlton Gardens: This historical landmark sits on over 64 acres and includes an IMAX theatre, Melbourne Museum, a children's playground and a Royal Exhibition Building.
4) Melbourne Aquarium: A vast array of sea life creatures await you: sharks, octopi, penguins, seahorses and much more.
Browse through on your own, take in a show, or do a combination of both.
Great fun for the whole family.
5) Melbourne Museum: Eight galleries await you, including one exclusively for children; highlights of this museum include a blue whale skeleton, an Aborginal Cultural Centre, a living rainforest and an IMAX theatre.
There are many cultural exhibits that will give you better knowledge of this continent's history and its people.
The kids will enjoy this as much as you will.
Talk to your travel agent and find out if any of these attractions can be included in an all-inclusive package.
If not, look online to find some great deals and discounts; just make sure you are dealing with a reputable company and the tickets you purchase are in fact real.
Nothing is worse than getting to your much-anticipated destination and then finding out the tickets you purchased online are bogus.
Don't forget your camera; you will want to capture almost everything you see: from the roaming kangaroos to the glittering lights of the city.
If you can, book a day to just lay on the beach and watch the powerful waves crash against the shoreline.
