Craft Shops
In recent times a number of craftspeople have moved into the Meeniyan area and this has resulted in many of the town's older shops converting to craft shops. The most notable is Craft Merchants in the main street which has 'ten rooms of craftware, Australiana and Victoriana' and is open from 10.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m. seven days a week during school holidays and five days a week (closed Monday and Tuesday) outside school holidays. Contact (03) 5664 7533.
Bushwalk
A 3 km Bicentennial bush walk has been marked out around the perimeter of the town. It offers visitors an opportunity to walk through the bush which surrounds the small settlement.
