  Is there any reasonably cheap and fun family stuff (around tween age) to do around Melbourne CBD over the weekend that might not show up on searches? Visiting from the sticks so the bar isn’t all that high for something to be interesting. Any franchise/activity I can do in Adelaide is automatically disqualified.

    The Myer windows are Lego themed this year.

    There’s the Lego Star Wars exhibition at the museum as well

      I love Lego but the kids don’t like Star Wars. There’s also a monopoly thing somewhere I think but it’s hard to get excited over boomer IP even for an old bloke. But thanks for the suggestion.

    Isn’t it free public transit? Sandringham Beach?

    What are the kids into?

    There’s the city circle tram, old Melbourne gaol, vic market, botanical gardens, ACMI (has a gaming exhibition), NGV…

      Thanks. ACMI is already on the list. Might do the markets depending on time but have a lot of things already. Have done the usuals in the past like scienceworks, NGV, museum, aquarium. All great but not this time.

  This northerly wind is blowing blood and bone smell over my balcony.
