A POP-UP Visitor Information Centre operated in the Reid Street Kiosk over the festive period, drawing a range of enquiries from visitors and locals.

The pop-up is introduced at peak times, including Easter, jazz festival weekend and Christmas, to support visitors during times when the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre - where the regular kiosk is located - cannot be accessed.

It supplements the main accredited Wangaratta Visitor Information Centre at the Ned Kelly Discovery Hub in Glenrowan.

Over the festive period, the team at the Reid Street kiosk spoke with about 211 visitors and locals.

Enquiries leading up to the New Year related to water-based activities such as swimming holes and camping and fishing spots, as well as the rural city's New Year's Eve celebrations at the Wangaratta Showgrounds.

King Valley and the Milawa Gourmet Region were popular over the festive season, with many people seeking to enjoy local produce and wines.

Visitors travelling with their furry companions enquired about places to stay, dine and camp with their four-legged family members.

Walking and cycling tracks were also in demand, with many people perhaps wanting to kick off the New Year in a healthy way with some exercise.

Those with young families sought advice about activities to enjoy with children, with Myrrhee's Brookfield Maze, and attractions at Glenrowan among the favoured choices.

For those seeking assistance, the Wangaratta Visitor Information Kiosk is regularly available in the WPACC from 10am to 2pm.

The main Wangaratta Visitor Information Centre at Glenrowan's Ned Kelly Discovery Hub opens seven days a week from 10am to 4pm (closed Christmas Day and Good Friday).
