Broadmeadows Museum runs guided Historical Cemetery Tours of Hume that visit five pioneer cemeteries including Will Will Rook, Scot’s Church, Mickleham, Donnybrook and Bulla Cemetery, with the tours led by members of the Broadmeadows Historical Society.

Historical Cemetery Tours

These tours focus on the five named cemeteries and provide direct access to sites connected to early local settlement. Participants join groups led by society members who share details drawn from the area’s documented history.

Museum Visits

The Broadmeadows Historical Museum opens Monday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and on Saturdays. Inside visitors find photographs, a research library and exhibits covering local settlement, the Glenroy airport and the Broadmeadows military base.

Greyhound Racing at The Meadows

The Meadows greyhound racing venue in Broadmeadows schedules Group 1 races every Wednesday afternoon and Saturday evening throughout the year. Dining options are available on Saturday nights at the venue.

Outdoor Activities in Local Parks

Broadmeadows Valley Park and Jacana Reserve contain nature trails and open green spaces used for walks, picnics and family activities. Trails connect easily to paths along Moonee Ponds Creek.

Shopping and Entertainment at Broadmeadows Central

Broadmeadows Central in the Town Centre supplies shopping, a HOYTS cinema and dining at places such as Degani Broadmeadows. The centre functions as the primary daily location for combined local activities and meals.

These options draw on established local facilities and scheduled programs that operate on regular timetables. Residents can check opening times directly with each venue before planning a visit, particularly for the Monday morning museum slot and the weekly racing sessions.
