12 Free And Fun Things To Do In Melbourne
Getting us back to the Vacations on Budget topic here’s Catherine with a top 12 of free and fun things to do in Melboure. Big cities like Melbourne always have many things for free and a common problem, knowing which ones are worthy to visit. Thanks for the list Catherine! 
Many people think that a visit to a metropolitan city like Melbourne means spending a great deal of money. Or else, they think, one cannot really enjoy anything there. That’s not true at all; there’s much to do and see in Melbourne, all free and great fun, if you know where to go and what to do. Here are 12 of them.
See The Whole Of Melbourne For Free! – The Melbourne City Circle Tram service deploys vintage trams to take you for a thirty-minute tour around Melbourne CBD. You can get off the tram at any point, explore on foot, and then hop on another City Circle Tram. Enjoy the ongoing taped commentary on each tram that introduces you to Melbourne’s various iconic sites.
Enjoy The Many Free Festivals – Melbourne has no less than 18 free festivals! Enjoy the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, the Melbourne Writers Festival, the Melbourne Day, the Melbourne International Film Festival and the Malaysia Street Festival among many others.
Learn Everything About Movie-Making – The Australian Centre for the Moving Image has two multi-format cinemas, hands-on activity consoles, movie production zones and education centers. Watch a moving image exhibition on the world’s largest dedicated screen gallery. Watch free movies and check out art installations as well!
Get A Free Flying Tour In An Old Aircraft – Visit the RAAF Museum at Point Cook Road, Point Cook to see an incredible flying display of old WWI and WWII aircraft. You can examine these old aircraft minutely and watch them do their acrobatics in the air, the very maneuvers that brought Germany to its knees.
Pretend To Be The Cabinet Speaker For A While! – Take a free tour of the Parliament House of Victoria, and sit on the Speaker’s chair, or even the Premier’s chair. Enjoy the architectural perfection of one of Australia’s oldest public buildings with its many fittings made of pure gold.
Get To See A Whole Movie For Free – Southgate Cinema offers free movie screenings on some Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in an open atrium. The best part of this experience is that you’re handed headphones. You don’t have to sit in a loud theatre and experience the full sound, but rather, enjoy the surroundings with the sound only in your ears.
Enjoy A Great Shopping Experience In Melbourne’s Markets – Visit the Queen Victorian Market that sells everything from freshly baked doughnuts to jewelry, clothing, seafood and fresh produce. Food is cheap at street stalls. Get your caricature done, your face painted, watch a cookery demonstration, listen to a live band and watch an impromptu circus performance.
Join A TV Show Audience – Ever tried being part of a popular TV show audience? Tickets are free, and the choice is yours. Join the Millionaire Hotseat show, or the X-Factor audition show and many more. You get to meet the stars, enjoy tons of freebies including gifts and get to be on TV, all for free!
Explore The World Of Contemporary Art – Photography and art freaks have a major treat at store for them at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. Here you can enjoy learning about painting, photography, electronic imaging, sculpture, videos and the latest technologies in all these areas.
Go For A Picnic In Fairy Land – Take your friends to Fitzroy Gardens and step into an alternative universe. Here you’ll find fairy trails, rare flowers, miniature villages, dragons and everything to delight the child within you. Grab a barely-there trail and find a unique picnic spot. A must-visit if you have kids!
Dance Along With The Dancing Fountains – One hot and sweaty afternoon, pull on a t-shirt and shorts and run through dancing fountains. These fountains are colorful and are engineered to dance to music. It’s a lively, joyful experience, just outside Crown Casino on the Yarra River.
Explore Nature’s Delights – The Royal Botanical Gardens is a 35-hectare plot of absolute delight, with its exquisite landscaped gardens and rare plants and herbs. It’ll take you weeks to complete your free guided tour of these magnificent gardens. These gardens have several individual gardens dedicated to distinct types of flora.
Once again a big thanks for both the photos and the article to adrenaline writer Catherine Moss.
