hi guys.my 2 kids and i are coming to melbourne this friday and i need some tips on keeping them busy.i have quite a few friends down there,but none of them have children,so bring on some kiddy entertainment.we will be in the st kilda area if anyone has some good places.live music is good as they are too young to go to dance club.so if there are any places to go that are kiddy friendly,please let me know.they have been to the espy(TILL 6PM) but im not sure if it still open.

The Aquarium in the city was a big hit with my daughter (12), but think it costs a fair bit - which is why I let my sister take her LOL

If they're into dance The Dance Factory in Richamond (google it for address etc) has classes that can be taken as a 'one off' thing. Suppose to be good - we havne't got there yet.

Melbourne Zoo, Science Works and Luna Park are all good entertainment for kids (and adults too !!).

Come to think of it, my favourite place to visit when I am in Melbourne is the departure lounge at Tullamarine. I f*cking LOVE that place.
