Hi there Reader

Did you know Melbourne is home to the world's largest LEGO store?

It’s just one of the fun facts I stumbled across while diving deep into Melbourne's best-kept secrets for families.

Want more? Here’s a few fun facts:

Melbourne Museum has a secret underground storage space the size of a football field!
Geelong Royal Botanic Gardens is home to a rare plant that only blooms once every decade (and smells terrible).

Pretty cool, right? What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned lately? Hit reply and share it with me!
