The Melbourne Aquarium is rated as one of the best aquariums in the world. They hold many exotic sea creatures from sting rays to sharks and prawn to tropical fish, the Melbourne Aquarium is a great place to take the kids. At the end of the tour, visitors are treated to a ride which takes you through the sea. If you are not a fan of roller coasters this ride is not for you.

If shopping is the way you like to go, then the Queen Victoria Market is the place for you. Lying between Elizabeth and Franklin streets, a person could buy just about anything. Inside they have a food court, and butcher shops where you can get anything from lamb to kangaroo. Outside there is a flea market, where tourists and everybody else could buy boomerangs, clothes and little trinkets. If you are looking to spend some money, then this place is for you.
