Why not give yourself a treat with a trip to Mount Stromlo Observatory, one of the family attractions located 2.7 mi (4.3 km) from central Stromlo. It's also full of great shops and cafes, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander. If you have fun at Mount Stromlo Observatory, you'll love National Zoo and Aquarium and National Arboretum Canberra, both located nearby.
