Good Nature Hotel Melbourne: Family-Friendly Pub with a Playground at Fed Square
Looking for a family-friendly pub in Melbourne CBD? Good Nature at Federation Square has indoor and outdoor dining, a fenced playground and regular kids entertainment, making it a great option for families exploring the city.

Good Nature Hotel Melbourne, Family Pub
Located on the site of the former Beer Deluxe, the venue has been completely refreshed and now offers a much more family-focused experience while still keeping the atmosphere of a modern Melbourne pub.
One of the biggest drawcards at Good Nature Hotel for families is the fenced playground located directly beside the outdoor dining area. The playground is fully visible from the outdoor tables, making it easy to keep an eye on little ones while enjoying lunch, dinner or a drink with friends.


When we visited, there were plenty of kids playing on the playground while parents sat nearby enjoying their meals. It’s the sort of setup that makes dining out with younger children much more enjoyable.
The multi-level venue features indoor and outdoor seating, large sports screens, bars and plenty of room for families or groups. The menu includes all the classic pub favourites, and of course kids meals too.

ACMI, the NGV, Birrarung Marr, the Yarra River and Melbourne’s sporting precinct are all within easy walking distance, making Good Nature an easy place to stop for lunch or dinner during a family day out in the city.
Free Kids Entertainment on Family Sundays

We visited on a Family Sunday and there was plenty happening for children throughout the afternoon.
There was an entertainer making animal balloons for the kids and a reptile experience where children could get up close to a variety of reptiles and even pat some of the animals.
The entertainment is completely free and creates a fun family atmosphere throughout the venue. While our kids were a little old for the playground, they loved the reptile experience and seeing all the different animals.
If you’re planning a Sunday visit, it’s worth checking what family activities are scheduled on the day.
