If you’ve got a toddler and a seven-year-old and you’re trying to find one place that works for both without one of them getting mowed down — that’s basically the whole appeal of Landing Playcentre Ravenhall. It’s split into three age zones (Baby, Toddler, and a Main Zone with the mega slide and ball pit for the older kids), so you’re not stuck hovering over a two-year-old in the middle of a climbing frame built for eight-year-olds.
We’re not local — it’s about a 15-minute detour off our usual route — so before we went, the questions we actually wanted answered were: is it clean, is it actually safe with the age range mixed together, what does it cost once you add food, and is the drive worth it. Here’s what five hours there told us.
Yesterday I went with my kids to check out this newly opened indoor kids play centre.
Store name: Landing Playcentre Ravenhall Address: 12 Nexus St, Ravenhall VIC 3023
This new Landing location is in the western suburbs, a bit far from us. I had been wanting to go for a while but hadn’t had the chance. Last week I had work nearby, only about 15 minutes from the new venue, so I left early and brought the kids along.

Price: Kids from $13.95 (weekday) / $15.95 (weekend) | Adults $4 (incl. a drink) | Under 1 free

What It’s Actually Like Inside
The whole place is super clean, and there are staff constantly cleaning the area, even when it’s busy.
There’s a huge ball pit connected to all kinds of slides (even adults can join in, if you’re brave enough). There are role-play costumes and pretend kitchen areas that the girls absolutely loved. They also offer party bookings, with several themed rooms, including a beauty-themed area that girls will love.
The food is pretty good too — the kids had so much fun they didn’t want to stop to eat, let alone leave.
Our kids played for over 5 hours straight without stopping! They were so happy they stayed right up until closing time, and honestly, they were still buzzing about it that night — refused to settle down and sleep properly.
Who It’s Best Suited For
Between the ball pit, slides, role-play kitchen area, and the beauty-themed party room, there’s a genuine mix of active and imaginative play, so it works well whether your kids are more into climbing and sliding or into dress-ups and pretend play. The fact that ours happily played for five straight hours without asking to leave says a lot about how well it holds kids’ attention across different play styles.
How Much Does It Cost?
Pricing at play centres like this tends to be updated regularly, so rather than quote a figure that might be out of date by the time you read this, it’s worth checking Landing Playcentre Ravenhall’s current rates directly before you head out.
Parking & Getting There
There’s parking right outside, and it’s fairly easy to find a spot — not too stressful, even when the centre itself was busy. Parents living nearby can definitely bring the kids here to burn off some energy without the usual car park stress you get at some of the busier indoor play centres.
