School holidays are just round the corner…Lake Mountain Alpine Resort in Marysville in the Yarra Valley might be the solution..

It’s an exhausting time of the year for moms and pops. It’s hard having small kids around all the time, asking, “What shall I do , I’m bored?” It could also get really costly.

Lake Mountain Alpine Resort is famous for their Winter activities, including Cross-Country Skiing and Tobogganing. Nonetheless now, they have many Summer activities also.

Up at Lake Mountain Alpine Resort there will be lots to do in Jan. (And if it’s a hot day, it’s a very good concept to head up the mountain as it’s always cooler up there than in the town or the valley.) The workers at Lake Mountain know that kids need new places to explore and folks need their kids to be occupied. Therefore on the week-ends in Jan, there will be onstage music and face painting, frisbee golfing and all the walking/biking trails for you to enjoy (and you can bring your own mountain bike) “all free. Bring your own picnic and get a stunning spot to line up, surrounded naturally with staggering perspectives. And after lunch, the best bit “everybody can go off and do their own activities “while the grown-ups get some shut eye!

During the week, Lake Mountain are building up a fun packed School Vacation program this summer as well , full of organized activities to keep all ages entertained. Every week there’ll be a new activity “a rock climbing wall, sumo wrestling suits, mini golfing or a mega slide. The arranged activities are included in the cost of a day pass, which also buys you the flying fox, dune buggies and laser skirmish. To get a 15% discount, book online from their website. If you are staying in the area, many Marysville accommodation suppliers are supplying 25% discount on the day pass ticket price.

And being on a mountain, there are unlimited tracks to explore on foot and by bike. It is also free to have a round of frisbee golf as you’re walking the tracks. (Just mind the other hikers as you’re “teeing off”) The walks have great interactive signs so you can learn about Lake Mountain’s unique climate and environment. There’s one actual walk I like, called The Green Again walk, which is a 5km loop from the Town. It highlights the numerous sorts of regeneration happening since the 2009 fires and explains how some species need a fire to regenerate.
