Free family fun and public transport these school holidays

Victorian families can enjoy an exciting range of free activities these school holidays without straining the budget, thanks to free tourism experiences supported by the Victorian Government.

Looking for affordable, fun activities to enjoy with your family during the school holidays?

The Victorian Government is supporting a packed program of free and fun school holiday activities for busy families.

Free travel to experience it all

Fuel prices are rising and it's putting households under pressure. That’s why the Victorian Government is delivering one month of free public transport until the end of April, which takes in the school holiday period.

That means free trains, trams and buses – metro and V/Line – every day, for everyone.

This is a temporary measure to help all Victorians now.
