If you are off to Melbourne, having a plan for once you get there, is the best way to make sure that you don’t miss out on the Top Five Things To Do In Melbourne. The best way to know what attractions shouldn't be missed is to ask the natives what should not be missed, so we did. The top 5 answers are:
1. Queen Victoria Market
2. The Melbourne Zoo
3. The Melbourne Aquarium
4. The Crown Casino
5. Yarra Valley Wine and Winery Tour
The Queen Victoria Market is not your average shopping square. More than just shopping, it displays the diverse cultures of this amazing land. Having something for everyone, it is the perfect place to observe the local culture. It can also be a nice place to sample local produce and buy some souvenirs.
If rare and exotic things are what you desire, do not miss the Melbourne Zoo. Not your regular zoo, it is home to some of the rarest creatures of the outback. Amazing creatures in their own habitat will stun and mystify you.
Surrounded by the Ocean, Melbourne’s aquarium displays the most unique underwater wildlife found anywhere. Showing creatures indigenous to the area, some of the marine life looks too unusual to be real. You’ll find yourself rubbing your eyes in disbelief.
For a little nighttime adventure, leave the kids behind, and hit the Crown Casino. Try out your luck at the Casino while be entertained by shows and music. Spend just a little time away from the family enjoying some adult time. A great place to unwind and relax, the food is great, the atmosphere is nothing short of spectacular.
If gambling is not your forte, perhaps a quite time with your significant other exploring wine country is a better alternative. Yarra Valley Wine and Winery Tour will show you not only the beautiful vineyards but the beautiful countryside. Melbourne truly has something for everyone.
