Where To Get The Best Freakshakes in Melbourne

Milkshakes are soooo vanilla. Today it's all about the freakshake!

Think of it as a thickshake x 10. More milk, more ice-cream, more stuff on top and overflowing from the glass (or jar) and more fun to share (and get messy). Prices vary – but expect to pay anywhere from $8-$15 (less for the baby-sized versions some places offer). And this list helps you find some of the best places in Melbourne to get a freakshake for you and your kids to enjoy.
