StoryWalk

  • Free

With map in hand, follow the signs and discover a fun story in the Flagstaff Gardens to celebrate Children’s Book Week.

A StoryWalk is a fun, family-friendly activity that turns reading into an adventure! Start at the playground, collect a map and follow the story around the gardens — one page at a time.

Suitable for children ages 2-8 (must be accompanied by an adult).

This event takes approximately 45 minutes to 1-hour to complete.

This event is created by Geography Victoria, an affiliate of The Royal Society of Victoria, and supported by the City of Melbourne Libraries.
