Hi there,

Welcome to April! This month is a great time to explore Melbourne or to head out to Regional Victoria - think crunchy Autumn leaves, Easter treats or a day trip - you'll find plenty to do in the city and surrounds.

We've put together some guides to help you find your way around everything that's happening for families this month.

Check out What's On in April outside of the school holidays, Autumn school holiday events, free school holiday activities, Easter fun and more.

As for us this coming week, we're seeing Mary Poppins the musical and the new Super Mario Bros movie. Looking ahead - I'm excited about booking a mummy-daughter school holidays staycation at the new Veriu Hotel Queen Victoria Market (hello indoor pool!).

What do you have planned?
