Melbourne Cup Eve is set to sparkle once again at The Meadows, with the return of the Melbourne Greyhounds’ popular FREE Family Night.
While the first Tuesday in November brings the race that stops the nation, the evening before offers something different – a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere where kids, parents and racing fans come together to enjoy the atmosphere.
Hosted by the Melbourne Greyhound Racing Association, the annual event puts your child’s enjoyment first, with activities built around their favourite four-legged friends – the greyhounds.
Across the venue, families will find giant inflatables, jumping castles for different age groups, face painting, and a special surprise feature show. Kids can also enjoy free carnival snacks such as popcorn and snow cones, while parents can take advantage of the premium trackside dining, bar facilities or food truck precinct.
For those after a sit-down meal, the City View Bistro will be open, offering panoramic city views and a relaxed bistro atmosphere at family-friendly prices. Children’s meals are just $13 with an ice-cream, and bookings are essential.
Adding to the fun are 300 free kids’ showbags and a $3,000 family prize draw, with free entry for all attendees – though winners must be present on the night to claim their prize.
With free entry and car parking, Melbourne Cup Eve at The Meadows has become a favourite for families looking for an affordable and entertaining night out in the lead up to the race that stops the nation, the horse racing edition of the Melbourne Cup.
