Free or cheap activities/places to eat for kids around 10 in Melbourne?

Hoping the creative people here could share some ideas of what I could do with some kids we need to look after over the weekend. Preferably in inner Melbourne and we have both boys and girls to cater for!

They're around the age of 10 and we have already done the standard like the cinemas, trampoline parks, movies and board games at home but I'm hoping to get them out of the house and do things to keep them occupied whilst not breaking the bank! I'm trying to stay within a small budget as we also taken responsibility to feed them! They eat relatively healthy so don't want to resort to junk food unless we need to.

Edit: Have found some great suggestions on another post though happy to hear some creative ideas for indoor activities also as the weather may be a deciding factor.

    Have you taken them to Collingwood Children's Farm?
    There is an onsite cafe with a kids menu, but there is also an entrance fee to the Farm.

      Thanks for suggestions. Have considered just going ourselves so will add this to the list.

  • Melbourne zoo? Melbourne museum? Local park?

    Sunday at Pizza Religion kids eat free from 4-6 (there's T&C's)

    • On Sundays only but nice one! Thank you.

  • Inflatable World Maribyrnong is a good one. At 10 years old they'll juuusstt be young enough to really enjoy it.

    Then head to highpoint for some timezone (or whatever the place is call in there now) fun.

    Or try Scienceworks down in Spotswood.

    • Thanks. Had completely forgotten about Scienceworks. 😁
