Best Museums in Frankston

"The Melbourne Museum is a great attraction if you are looking for educational things to do with kids Melbourne has. At the Melbourne Museum, they can learn about Victoria’s natural environment, cultures and history through various displays and interactive technology. The little ones (0-5) will love the Pauline Children’s Gallery, where they can become archeologists digging for fossils or become stripey or spotty in the ‘camouflage disco’."

"The children’s gallery at Melbourne Museum has so many experiences, both inside and out. In other parts of the museum, you can crawl along the dinosaur walk, see the various rocks and stones, explore the rainforest gallery or just stare at the tiny (and not so tiny) insects. Be sure to check their website to see what's on for Melbourne kids this week."

There is also a planetarium and a lightening room which you need to check out!. https://museumvictoria.com.au/scienceworks/"

"You may wonder why I’ve put a museum about science in this category. Well, it’s partly because Scienceworks didn’t fit neatly anywhere else (I’m not too proud to admit that) but also because of how creative the exhibitions are. It may be about technology, but it feels artistic!"
