A little "big girl's" day out, Mother's Day, special birthday, or even Grandma or Grandpa's birthday: high tea is special, fancy, exquisite, and yes, a bit of a luxury for most. Child-friendly isn't the first thing that generally comes to mind when one thinks of booking for a high tea occasion, but sometimes occasions call for bringing the children, and often the children are the occasion, so we've rounded up the best of Melbourne's child-friendly high teas.



The Langham: The Langham's Melba restaurant is becoming renowned for their Kids' Tiffin High Teas, held during most school holidays. Barbie themes are a favourite there, but have often been balanced out in the past by gender neutral theme choices such as The Wiggles and the Smurfs . Prices will range, but an example of an upcoming tea is $59 per child, which includes a take home Barbie gift; $65 per adult and that includes a glass of sparkling wine.

The Hotel Windsor: School holidays are made for living it up when you're a kid, right? Well live it up for cheaper than Maccas when you bring the kids to The Hotel Windsor for their weekday offer of " Kids-Eat-Their-Age " High Tea prices. While it's not specifically a kids' theme, the pastry chefs do create a few lovelies specifically for the kids' plates. Afternoon Tea Sitting Times & Prices
Monday-Friday: 12 noon and 2:30pm: $69 per person, (children pay their age as detailed above, during school holidays; regular price outside of holidays: aged 3-6 years $25, aged 7-12 years $40); Saturday and Sunday:12 noon and 2:30pm (changing to 3pm this Winter): $89 per person (includes an indulgent dessert buffet), children aged 3-6 years $30, aged 7-12 years $50 (the children-pay-their-age special is only available weekdays on school holidays).




Overnewton Castle: High Teas and Mad Hatter Parties and Teddy Bear Picnics, Overnewton Castle in Keilor, Victoria is coming into their own as the place to book with your kids for a school holiday treat or tradition. Pony rides, fete-style fair rides, face painting and more entertainment usually accompany the lovely tea served at Overnewton Castle; a child-friendly high tea for a pocket-friendly price of only $35 per adult and $25 per child at time of publication (bookings essential).

High Tea in Paris: Further afield down the Peninsula, High Tea in Paris in Mornington offers Mummy-and-me teas, princess specials, petite teas for two, and other perfectly child-friendly and child-focused options starting from just $10 per person (bookings essential).
