If you’re not saying “OMG” at least once during your visit to Nice Buns, then this place might not be for you! Part of the YOMG family, Nice Buns is all about big flavours, fun vibes, and seriously epic food. From their famous frozen yoghurt and indulgent burgers to shakes that will blow your mind (hello raspberry lemon cheesecake!), plus a wall of slushies, there’s something for everyone. The menu also features fan-favourites from past specials, like the Purple People Eater, which Mamma couldn’t resist trying! It’s super family-friendly with a playground for the kids and “Little G’s” meals that are perfect for sharing. Bonus: you can even order online from your table while keeping an eye on the little ones

clip 'n climb
Clip ’n Climb Berwick is a total rainbow explosion and one of the most colourful, high-energy spots in the East. This indoor climbing centre is packed with wildly themed walls and vertical challenges, from honeycombs and stairway-to-heaven pipes to clear race walls, wobble-inducing inflatables and the epic Astroball. Thrill seekers can also tackle the Vertical Drop Slide, Sky Rail and Leap of Faith, all made easy to move between thanks to auto-belay systems. Little climbers are covered too with the Cheeky Monkey Climb and a soft-fall playground with a ball battle arena, while staff are always on hand to support and encourage. Activewear and runners are a must—but if you’re just watching, there’s great coffee waiting for you.

wilson botanic park
Wilson Botanic Park feels like stepping into a secret garden the moment you arrive. With tree-lined avenues, manicured gardens, and sparkling sunlit spaces, it’s a tranquil treasure in Melbourne’s east. Once a quarry in the 70s, the park is now perfect for family days out—whether walking or jogging the trails, lounging by the lake with a book, or climbing the Hoo Hoo Tower for panoramic views. Kids will be enchanted by the main lake, spotting dozens of turtles at the surface, and the Lilypad Lake, where a sunken walkway lets you feel like you’re walking into the water while the ducks come to say hello. There’s also a playground in the heart of the park and plenty of picnic spaces, making it ideal for a full day of exploration.
