About our Educational Tours
The Queen Victoria Market plays a vital part of Melbourne’s multicultural history and present-day life.
Located in the heart of the city, it is a place where people from all walks of life gather to experience Melbourne’s fresh food culture, explore the aisles of specialty items, meet friends and enjoy the welcoming community. Most importantly, it is a place where locals come to meet friends and do their day-to-day shopping.
By visiting the Market, students can witness our dynamic and varied society, which spans locally, regionally, nationally and globally. Young people are our future and the Market welcomes all students.
To help plan your school visit, we offer comprehensive Activity Sheets for teachers and guided tours tailored specifically for school groups.
