The Port of Echuca Discovery Centre is a free, interactive museum and historical display perfect for families, offering a fascinating glimpse into life in the 1870s when Echuca was one of Victoria’s largest towns outside Melbourne and Sydney. Both indoor and outdoor exhibits showcase the town’s role as a key Murray River port, with paddle steamers visible from the boardwalks and hands-on historical machinery to explore. Kids will love the treasure hunt, puzzles, and activity shed, making learning fun while discovering clues and historical artefacts. Mamma’s special mentions: take a paddle steamer ride from the port or visit the nearby Hopewood Gardens playground for more family fun.
