Come and explore one of Ballarat's best kept secret. Kids can feed and pat wallabies and there are live feeding of crocodiles, koalas and Tasmanian devils. You can even book an up close and personal experience where you can go into the enclosures and meet the animals.

An art gallery that could rival any in a major city. The guides are very knowledgeable and there is an impressive permanent collection. Keep an eye out for new exhibitions, as they often come to Ballarat.

A beautiful place for a walk after visiting the lake. The big, beautiful sequoias frame the floral displays which change with the seasons. The Ballarat Begonia Festival is particularly popular.

A wonderful walk, run or ride. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes along the lake where you can stop for a coffee or lunch break. You can hire a paddle boat on calm days and see families of swans and cygnets in the Spring.
