Royal Melbourne Show

Overview

For a day of sheer fun, thrills and imagination head to the Melbourne showgrounds for a magical time at the Royal Melbourne Show.

Organised by the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria to promote and celebrate agriculture, the Royal Melbourne Show is the state’s largest annual community event, and has something for everyone.

What kid doesn’t like animals? Over at the livestock pavilion they can get up close and personal with all kinds of furry critters for a feed and a cuddle with cows, goats, dogs, cats, alpacas and llamas. Watch sheep get sheared, be amazed as horses perform spectacular stunts and even experience the miracle of birth.

There’s plenty for the unadventurous too, with food experiences, shopping and arts and crafts.

The fun doesn’t stop at night either, with motocross teams, jetpacks and fireworks making a noise over at the Coca Cola arena.
