Victoria Holiday Destinations for Families

Where Should I Go on a Family Holiday in Australia?

The Great Ocean Road is one of our top, if not the top Victorian holiday destinations for families. Here are five of the most popular reasons why:

1. Our beaches: we have so many options including toddler-friendly coves, family-friendly beaches, surfing options for older kids, marine sports for all the family (think fishing, boating) or marine arts (think seaweed strewn sandcastles and names written in the sand).
2. Our forests: You can head into the vast Great Otway National Park’s rain-forested hinterland for glow worms, wildlife encounters and walks along rivers, lakes and near waterfalls.
3. Our huge range of activities: Whether it’s riding a horse, learning to surf, jumping on a trampoline, playing mini-golf or riding a zip line we have heaps of things to see and do. Check out our detailed What to See and Do listings.
4. Our cultural centres and activities: We have historical parks like the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum and Village which has a step-back-in-time experience. Plus after you take in the spectacular views at the Cape Otway Light Station you can go to its Aboriginal Cultural Site to learn indigenous Australian history as well as enjoy bush tucker, spear throwing, painting and stories from local guides.

With such a huge range of activities and destinations, you can see why we are popular for family-friendly holidays in Victoria.
