Do you plan on taking a trip to Melbourne in the near future? If you are then there are some things that you need to know and do and one of the biggest things is to create a plan for your visit. There is so much to do in Melbourne and surrounding cities that you will need a plan in order to do as much as you can in the short time that you are there.

If you are going to be in Melbourne around the first week of November then I would recommend going to the Melbourne Cup. Even if you are not a huge Thoroughbred fan this is a great even to take part in and it is one of the biggest horse races in the entire world. If you are going to visit Melbourne then I would highly recommend you take part in this event because it is a once in a lifetime thing that not everybody gets to experience.

Another reason to plan your visit to Melbourne is because it is the home of 3 of the best zoo's in the world. If you want to visit the Melbourne Zoo then you will be able to see over 300 different kinds of animals and species. Now if you want a little different experience then you should try your luck at the Werribee Zoo where you and your kids can do the safari experience where you will get up close with a lot of the animals. Going to the zoo is fun no matter how old you are and if you are looking to treat your family to a good time then experiencing the zoo's in Australia is going to be something you will love and never forget.

One other thing that you might enjoy is a hot air balloon right over the entire city. Most people don't get to see Melbourne from the sky and this would be your chance. This tour is a little pricier than most other things but again you are seeing Melbourne from a totally new angle which most people never get the opportunity to see. Trust me, if you go to Australia there is be a lot of things to do but not every place is going to offer hot air balloon rides.

If you want to have the most fun then you need to make sure you plan your entire trip weeks in advance. Just know that the better your plan is and the more detailed it is, the more you will be able to do in a short amount of time. If you are in Melbourne and the Melbourne Cup is going on then I highly recommend that you check it out.
