Children's entertainment in St Kilda Victoria

“This centre is fantastic, my children attending this centre. My daughter been in love with toddler 1 room since her 1st day,she feels it's her home. she doesn't want to leave when we pick her up every afternoon and my son been going almost 2 years now. My son is neurodivergent so he's not easy to handle and often throw tantrums especially during drop off time but the educators knows how to manage him. They provide what he needs for learn and works together to promote his strengths. We notices he has improves a lot. Together with this centre we optimistic that my son can attend normal school. As now he is more comfortable and confident when we not around. This centre also working together with my son Therapist ( speech therapy, OT ). Their collaboration have provided great strategies to helps him with his development. Especially thank you to centre manager Maddie, pre kinder team leader Michaella and teams for your hard work and dedication”

“Absolutely magnificent venue! My friends and I were promptly seated. The wait staff from start to finish of our booking were all beyond amazing. The food and drinks were all fantastic! Couldn't get enough of it all. Certainly worth visiting!!!”

“We recently held our wedding reception here and it was amazing! We've had so many wonderful comments from family and friends about how brilliant the food and service was during the event, which was exactly what we hoped to hear. A big big thank you to Jody and the entire Encore team for executing everything perfectly.”

“Most amazingly entertaining Aussie written comedy! We can still slug it out with the best in the theatre business thank god. Witty, naughty and yet, still with a kind hearted message that we're not all doomed, l tell ye... what's it called? You may have to divorce at 13 years to find out! So find out.....and go, wait " I'm not finished yet!" It deserves the ticket price...”

“Absolutely whole heartedly LOVE Guardian St Kilda North. My children are so cared for and their development has gone from strength to strength. The Educators take a personalised approach and feedback on our children's progress and learning. Our two girls are thrilled to be there daily and wake up and look forward to attending. We can't speak highly enough about this wonderful family at St Kilda North. Thank you to Mei and all the team.”

“Great location, good parking but $25.-/day, quiet spot extremely friendly staff. Modern rooms and facilities.”

“My daughter has been attending Guardian St Kilda South since she was 4 months old, the educators made it so easy for me to return to work. Being a first time mum, I was nervous and anxious of how she would go but after her first orientation I knew she was in the best hands. Now when we arrive at the centre, she just can't contain her excitement the moment we step into the service. The centre has such a lovely community feel to it with amazing and caring educators.”

“Great facilities, friendly staff, and supportive health nurses.”

“This hostel is amazing. It is located near the beach in a quiet surrounding. The staff are extremely friendly and it has direct access to the city restaurants and all sort of shops. If you don't own a car do not worry because there is bus stops at the door and 2 train stations at a walking distance. If you are looking for a affordable place to stay this is the place. The people that are staying here are amazing. You can really build good friendships here. Enough said you have to experience it for yourself. .”

“Without a doubt, the most welcoming, loving and warm dance studio I have ever attended. The family at Momentum are so incredible and Jack is seriously one of the most positive and inspiring people I have ever met. So grateful to have had him as a teacher.”

“Great place for kids. New development done by Council. Must visit for all you g kids. Can get a little busy given it’s such a beautiful place. Great views too”

“Our daughter has been attending Kinderclub for over two years. We have always felt at home with the carers and love the family dynamic of the shared environments inside and out. While the facilities may not be as flash as some, the team has a big heart and offers the support, guidance, and nurturing that children need to explore their interests and new ideas. We love that the centre is always evolving with monthly programs, improvement projects, cultural exploration, and sustainable/green initiatives. Thanks for all you do for our family!”

“My daughter had her 8th birthday party here. I found Helen and her team very organised, professional and they are fantastic with kids! Helen took the time to explain how the party works, she took care of everything while I managed to take photos and even be in the photos. We did the clay party which included food, the art activity, a disco and pass the parcel. We were so impressed with the party that I enrol my daughter in art based activities at Artea during the school holidays. I definitely recommend Artea for kids parties and their art classes.”

“They do a great job here to ensure that everyone has as good a time as possible. We went during the week and were given some extra time and tips to help ensure we made it through. The rooms aren't easy if you're a newbie, so your problems solving skills will be challenged.”

“I had a terrific "right time, right place" experience here over the weekend ... having stayed at an AirBnB the night before a few doors down Acland St I dropped in for a cup of coffee and there was a read-through / rehearsal of a play called "Midwest Scouse" about to start. What a great start to a Sunday morning with no real plans to rush off for ! The place itself is great, the staff very friendly and they definitely brew each and every coffee with a lot of love. Fab location with a tree covered courtyard out front. I thoroughly enjoyed the read-through of the play, local drama productions is something I have always enjoyed and not had the kind of time for I'd like. The play-write, director, and actors all put together a tour-de-force that will not disappoint punters who go to see the final product. Thank you to everyone at Theatre Works who put in so much work on this show and gave me the opportunity to see it coming along all for the price of a cup of coffee. It's these little experiences being in the right place at the right time that create some of the most special memories.”

“Beautiful building and such an important landmark in history for LGBTQ+ movement. We especially loved that it was dog friendly and the roof area was a perfect place to listen to music and have a drink. Loved the library section.”

“Great assortment of vinyl and some great clothing and nice nacks will be back again”

“Beautiful spot for a walk, a run, a picnic, rolling down mini hills, fishing, kayaking and more. Few off leash areas for the doggos but they’ll have a good time just around the lake on leash, plenty of sniffing to do.”

“Place to spend the whole day . Park with all facilities, ocean nearby, restaurants cross the road.”

“My boys absolutely loved it they had the best time, will definitely be coming back (on a warmer day lol)”

“Perfect day to go to Australian Idol Melbourne Truck Tour”

“A great place situated in the centre of oakleigh south. Amazing and huge park for dogs with an off leash area. There are a lot of dogs that come to this park so it would great if you want to socialise your dog with others. Be mindful that the park is not fenced, so if you fur buddy is prone to running, this park may not be suitable. This park also has a dog exercise area with cleaning supplies provided by the council. Highly recommended for a good hour of play”

“We went to our first comedy show at the Palais Theatre. It was so beautiful inside due to the age of the building and the features of the ceilings, carpets and fireplaces. We sat three rows from the top so I was a bot nervous as I am scared of heights.”

“This is a great whimsical playground that immediately felt like it has a lot of history behind it once you walk through the gate. It feels like a place where children can take risks, excercise their imagination and go on a big adventure with whatever story they can cook up with. There are also interesting art and doodles all around the area that set it apart from modern playground which can be too safe and bland.”

“Went and saw 100 years of Warner Bros. It was beautiful candlelight performance with songs from famous WB films. Highly recommended going to a show here because it's also a beautiful old building.”

“Stunning place for a walk/ride, rich with wildlife and stunning views amongst the mangroves.”

“Didn't realise when went there at 11am on a Sunday morning would need to queue for 20 minutes before we got in, even though we had brought entry tickets online. But once inside, fantastic! However for reasons I can't explain the first thing I did was get on the Dragonboat ride, which in my day was the Pirate Ship, with a friends 14 year old son. We sat right at the back and then I thought I should move 2 rows down, Thank goodness. Oh my when I did this as a teenager I found it exhilarating but not so today, I was basically holding on for dear life and couldn't wait for it to end, I think if I was in back row I would have been in tears! After that shock went on the Ghost Train which was well, lame. Then husband and teenager went on the Spider. Went on other (sedate) rides and had a go at the Laughing Clowns that have bettered me for the years I have been feeding balls into their mouths. We also had takeaway coffees (soy latte and flat white), hot chips and good old hot jam donuts. Went to gift shop but disappointingly didn't have tshirt size I wanted. We were there for 2 hours and really needed 3 hours. Will go back because unfortunately today Scenic Railway down for maintenance and want to go on that, though after my experience on the Dragon Boat who knows.”
