Things to do

Bendigo is a vibrant City with all the facilities of a growing contemporary regional centre.

See the collection and exciting temporary exhibitions at Bendigo Art Gallery, catch a performance at an historic theatre or at a contemporary venue.

Everywhere you go the 1880s gold rush wealth is evident in our streetscapes and historic buildings.

Our parks and gardens are beautiful places that host festivals and events, protect and showcase our historic trees and plantings, and are a great place to meet friends or to relax.

We promote good health and activity by providing many swimming pools including our indoor heated pool at the Peter Krenz Leisure Centre, sporting fields and skate parks and BMX tracks. Our community enjoys more than 50 recreation reserves and over 100 play spaces.
