What can we do in Melbourne?

Question

A group from my high school is staying a week in Melbourne and we need some activities t do after 4pm Monday-Thursday. They must be in Zone 1 of the tram sections. Can anybody make any suggestions? We are a group of about 23 students both female and male about 15-17 years old, with two teachers.

Take a tram down to St.Kilda, where you can walk along the beach, visit the famous cake shops and visit Luna Park, an amusement park which is also a Melbourne landmark. This is still in Zone 1. Note that Luna Park closes at 6pm on weekdays.

Go to Bennetts Lane Jazz Club for a live jazz performance any night of the week.... but if you have 23 people, make sure to ring in advance to confirm (it's quite a small venue).

You could also watch a movie at one of the many cinemas in the city. Look up cinema session times on:
