Situated on the outskirts of the city, Carlton Gardens surround the magnificent Royal Exhibition Building and new Melbourne Museum. Built in 1880 as an exhibition centre--and still used as such--the Royal Exhibition Building housed the Victorian Parliament for 27 years, when Victoria's parliament building was borrowed by the National Legislature! A short walk from Brunswick Street's trendy cafés and shops, the Gardens' numerous walking and cycling tracks provide a peaceful respite from the city's bustle. The beautifully landscaped lawns also boast a Children's Traffic School, where youngsters learn road rules, and the huge Imax theatre. Admission is free.
