Kids Friendly Melbourne Holidays
Puffing Billy Train Ride
Being train nostalgic, Epic Travel Tour highly recommends the Puffing Billy Train Ride. The nostalgic Puffing Billy steam train ride is kiddo’s favourite of all. Get transport back in time and learn the history of Dandenong ranges. If you are lucky, you may catch exotic birds and wildlife in the bush. Highly entertaining for the family.

Philip Island – Paradise For Kids (Suggested 2D/1N)
Equally high on the list, Epic Travel Tours also highly recommends a 2D/1N tour to Philip Island, or more commonly known as the Penguin Island. From cute Little Penguins, seals, seagulls, echidna to koala and kangaroos up close, you even get to meet friendly Pelicans at San Reno at noon daily, during feeding time. Each day, at dusk, watch the parade of little waddling penguins come into shore, making their way up the beach to the sand dune burrows near the foreshore.
Not forgetting farm activities such as whipping horse and shearing sheep. And of course, for the kids out there, visit the amazing chocolate factory to make your own chocolates
