Not in the city, but all within about an hours drive if you fancy heading East:

Yarra Valley wineries and a visit to Yarra glen for lunch.

Healesville sanctuary and see all the Australian wildlife etc. The bird show & reptile shows are excellent (and free)

Visit Olinda & Sassafras in the Dandenong ranges.

Puffing Billy in Belgrave or Emerald http://www.puffingbilly.com.au/

Feed the cockatoos, rosellas & king parrots at Grants picknick ground. Fantastic walks in the forest as well http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/resources/04_0208.pdf
