Mamma took her crew on a tour recently, and both kids - aged 7 and 9 enjoyed seeing the amazing paintings and asked lots of questions and even survived the 90 minute walk (with only minimal complaining of sore legs!).
It’s a great way to introduce kids to Art, and this tour explained a lot of the meaning behind the paintings, with lots of the work influenced by Covid and isolation, which Mamma’s crew found very interesting.
It’s a great way to take in Frankston and learn more of its history.
Mamma's special mention
There’s lots of great places to eat in Frankston - but General Public can keep the fun alive with food - bowling and arcade games!
