Let’s head to the pool. Sometimes you simply forget how much kids love the water. All that splashing, kicking and blowing countless bubbles, they just lap it up! Aqualink in Nunawading provides plenty of shallow space to do just that.

Lilydale Library is pretty perfect. You’ll find it within the Lakeside campus of Box Hill Institute on the other side of Lillydale Lake. This library set up is oh so nice and shiny but most importantly - the children's zone is HUGE. With so much space for activities there will be plenty of room for story time.
