Kick off Weekend Trips to Melbourne at Healesville Sanctuary

By Nia Lawrence


Your day trips from Melbourne are guaranteed memorable if you experience all of it with family. Your kids will egg you to cram in everything in a day, but you'll only savor the sights if you opt for wholesome attractions everyone can participate into. The city's variety of attractions will also overwhelm, so it's best to take your time and sample these in bite-sized pieces. Melbourne is bustling with pleasurable pursuits and diversions; there's so much to see and do that a day trip isn't enough to sample all of it. The few days over the weekend should be enough to accommodate every member of the family. Your lineup of activities will involve staples like a trip to Federation Square or a tour of the Yarra's wine regions, but your kids' preferences should be accommodated first so they don't fuss for detours.

There are plenty of things to do Melbourne; however, you should first satisfy your kids' craving for adventure and take them to the Healesville Sanctuary. This natural preserve of Australia's indigenous flora and fauna is an hour off the outskirts of the city, east of the Yarra Valley proper. The animals coexist in a simulated habitat, which means that the contained spaces don't restrict their freedom of movement. There are over two-hundred species of birds, mammals, and reptiles here, and it is one of the few sanctuaries that successfully breed animals out of the wild. You'll gape in awe at the sheer variety of animal species, and the best part is your children can interact with most of them.

Your day trips from Melbourne are worth the trouble if you experience a close encounter with the habitat's wildlife. You'll stumble upon a variety of animals along the winding paths, including dingoes, kangaroos, koalas, and platypuses. It's best if you head out to the Sanctuary as early as possible; you'll make the most out of your experience if your tour starts as soon as the gates open. The visiting hour schedules range between 9 AM and 5 PM, and the sanctuary is open seven days a week, even on local and national holidays.

Since you're already at the Yarra proper, then you should at least savor the wine countries on the way back. Take the Melba Highway and cruise through the velvety expanse of vineyards. If you leave the sanctuary after lunch, then you'll have plenty of time to scout the wine countries and pick up a couple of cases before you head back to the city.

There's plenty of things to do Melbourne, but you'll only savor everything if you sample these a day at a time. The city's attractions await, so clear your weekend schedule and come over for a visit.
