The Christmas Carnival
Rides, games and festive thrills await at Birrarung Marr's pop-up carnival.
Overview
You're never too old to get a kick out of a carnival — especially one that's popping up for the festive season. That's what to expect from The Christmas Carnival, which is bringing ten days of all-ages fun to Birrarung Marr from Wednesday, December 14–Friday, December 23, as part of the month-long Melbourne Christmas Festival.
The free-entry carnival is packed with classic games and rides on which to unleash your inner kidult — from dodgem cars and the cup and saucer, to a neon-lit ferris wheel and the soaring high Skyflyer. Prices start from $7 per ride, which means cheap thrills abound.
Of course, you can't have a carnival without appropriate snacks and this one is bringing the goods with a roster of food trucks slinging all the classics.
The Christmas Carnival is running from 11am–10pm each day, so it should be easy to squeeze in a few visits around your Christmas shopping duties.
