Slide Melbourne

Overview

The most hyped summer event of 2014/15 is returning once more for you to relive the summers of years past — those when it was stinking hot and the sprinkler never shut off. The world's largest street slide, all 400 metres of it, will be making its way to this city once more, setting up on Lansdowne Street for two summer days only: one in December, and one in February.

Each ticket gets you two hours of sliding — which is just as well, because you're going to need a Calippo break at some point. While there's certainly a lot of fun to be had, there are a couple of rules to follow. So before you purchase tickets, it can't hurt to double check with the requirements on the website first. Cloakrooms and change rooms are available once you get there, so you don't have to ride a tram into the city in your bathers. Or you can if you want. We won't stop you.
