Kids' activities just past the CBD's north-east corner

Collingwood's own listings on this page lean towards martial arts. Widen the circle to 2 km, still close to the CBD, and the places a family uses week to week appear: public pools, riverside parks and a working farm.

A farm on the river

Collingwood Children's Farm sits on the Yarra at Abbotsford. Children can meet the animals, explore the gardens and watch the farmers at work. Entry is ticketed, the farm opens daily, and from Flinders Street the train to Victoria Park station on the Hurstbridge or Mernda line is the easy way in (plan your visit).

Pools

Within 2 km the directory lists Fitzroy Swimming Pool, Carlton Baths and Melbourne City Baths. Open a listing for the pool's details before you go.

Classes that are not sport

Beyond Fitzroy and the Carlton Gardens, Carlton is where the directory's non-sport classes near here cluster. For languages there are Bonjour Babies (French) and the Centre of Italian Studies. For homework help there is Apex Tuition, and for making things the Carlton Arts Centre Pottery School.

Timing

The Victorian Spring holidays end on 4 Oct 2026 (term dates). If you are booking something to start with the new term, each listing above links straight to the provider.
