Overview

Life's a ball in Melbourne. Pick from a range of activities guaranteed to shake up a slow Sunday or lift a lazy day out of the doldrums.

Turn yourself upside down and inside out at Melbourne's fun parks. Visit much-loved Luna Park. Head to PLAYTIME Crown or Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq in Docklands for amusements, laser skirmish, bowling and motion rides. While you're here, test your mini golf skills at Docklands' GlowGolf.

Join your mates for a go-kart race close to the city centre or test your head for heights from Melbourne Skydeck to catch views across the city. When the great outdoors calls, catch some waves instead, or a surf lesson, at URBNSURF park. Head to Melbourne's parks and beaches for boating, kiteboarding, or some old-school beach cricket.
