Where to go this week?

It's the final leg of the school holidays for Victorian students! And in case you still have the capacity and energy to take the kids somewhere fun to enjoy these final days, then here are some places to go:

1. Australian Open. If you are a fan or you are wanting to push your kids to embrace tennis, then go ahead and grab a ticket. Even a ground pass is enough to give the kids a unique insight about the game. There are also face painting and activities galore that will keep the family entertained and busy.

2. Adventure Park. This was perhaps the most exciting place we've been this summer. Packed full of rides and activities that everyone in the family will enjoy. Located in Geelong, it is but an hour away from Melbourne. But trust me, the drive is all worth it.

3. Funfields. If you reside in Melbourne's North, then this is the nearest place to get wet n wild. Toboggan, water slides, wacky waters and thrilling rides are waiting for you in this park located at Whittlesea. It can be quite busy on weekends though so make sure you bring a big bag of patience for the long queue.

4. Upmarket. If you are the lucky ones who have kids or pre-teens who happen to enjoy shopping, then check out this latest weekend. Held at the Middle Park Primary School near Albert Park, this event boasts of carefully curated stall holders selling unique and innovative products for the home and more. Starts Feb.4.

5. Altona Beach. This year was our first time to visit this beach and so far is Anya's favorite as it was great for boogie boarding. It was a very convenient as the water is near the road and I need not push the wheelchair a long distance.

6. Frankston Sand Scultptures. Theme for this year is Toytopia so there is no doubt the kids will be delighted at this exhibit. Be amazed by the intricate details of the sculptures. And when you're done, feel free to hit the beach and make your own art from sand.

Don't forget to slip, slop and slap!

How's your summer so far?
