Best Things to Do in Geelong 2025: Waterfront, Art & The Great Ocean Road

Geelong has reinvented itself from a manufacturing city into one of Victoria's most dynamic regional destinations. The transformed Waterfront precinct is the centrepiece — with the iconic carousel, Eastern Beach Swimming Enclosure, and a string of excellent restaurants and bars. Add in the GMHBA Stadium, Geelong Gallery, and quick access to the Great Ocean Road, and Geelong is genuinely worth a dedicated visit.
