Sun 25 Feb 2018

One of the enjoyable activities in Melbourne's hot summers is a dip in one of our city's cool pools. Carlton Baths is worth the drive or the bike-ride as you can team a splash in the pool with some cool live music events.

This will be happening every Sunday at 1pm during summer as there will be live music, kids activities, and the giant inflatable which is always slip-sliding fun. The events start at 1 pm and the music at 3pm.



This is family activity so you can dip in the pool, lie on the grass (there is ample shade) and generally cool off to the sound of local musicians during the hottest times of the year.

Carlton baths are historic but for their centenary in 2016 they received a multi-million dollar upgrade so now they are state of art.
