The Walking Neighbourhood
Remember when kids roamed the neighbourhood? Take a tour devised and led by children, and rediscover what it was like to wander the streets until dinner time.
Starting at a special kid-designed Departure Lounge, you’ll head out into the inner city to see the world through the eyes of our young tour guides.
