Winter has taken hold in Melbourne and The District Docklands have fully embraced the chilly weather with their FREE Winter Experience for the family.

Happening each weekend until August 26 - the snowy adventures include SNOW PLAY!

Watch out for polar bears and the giant woolly mammoth over looking all the action, this guy is positively mammoth. The bigger kids will love the virtual Snow Slinger that gives them the chance to fling a barrage of virtual snowballs at their buddies. Oh and don't miss the live ice-carving shows. Pretty cool. (pun intended!)

Mamma says pack a warm jacket, as the kids will wanna throw snowballs and create snow castles in their very own 8m x 8m snow pit.

If you are making your Sunday plans, this is a great family day out, especially when you tie in The District Makers Market – Winter Edition AND the pop up mini animal farm.

*please note snow play are for ten minute sessions only - this is a free even so there is often a queue to enjoy the fun

Mamma's special mentions: There is heaps to do The District Docklands! Check out our 'to do' list here.
