UPDATE:
The Ian Potter Centre KIDS CORNER (which is part of the NGV (National Gallery of Victoria) is currently closed but kids activities are still available at the NGV International about 200 metres from here. See NGV Kids.
The Ian Potter Centre has a 'Kids Corner' which is great fun for the smaller kids - up to about 8 years old.........
........There's plenty of childrens activities to keep them occupied for an hour or so.
The exhibitions change periodically so you can keep returning without your kids getting bored.
When we went there were some interactive multi-media screen activities which are rather hard to describe but certainly entertained the kids........
There were places to hide......
.......cards to colour in......
.......a board game of 'doubles'......
........music and a few other bits and pieces.
On Sundays between 10.30 and 12 noon the kids could listen to stories and look at art.......
.......In the main part of the Ian Potter Centre you'll also find free regularly changing events for kids of all ages and free films.
Check out their website before you go along to see what current events are on. It's at NGV.
