Toorak in the school holidays, for little or nothing

A holiday fortnight in Toorak does not have to mean a paid camp every day. Start with the dates, then the parts of the week that cost nothing.

Spring holidays (on now)19 Sept 2026 – 4 Oct 202616 days
Summer holidays19 Dec 2026 – 27 Jan 202740 days

Free, or close to it

The library's holiday program. Stonnington Libraries runs a program in the school holidays of free and low-cost sessions: hands-on robotics and science, puppetry, dance, crafts and family film screenings. Some sessions carry a charge and need booking (Stonnington Libraries). In term time, the Toorak/South Yarra library also runs Lego Builders for primary school children (Stonnington Libraries for kids).

The Children's Garden, across in South Yarra. The Ian Potter Foundation Children's Garden at the Royal Botanic Gardens is open every day of the Victorian school holidays, and closes over winter (Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria). Entry to Melbourne Gardens is free, except for special ticketed events (getting there).
