Both kids went down that entry slide and didn’t look back. My son ran straight in without a glance over his shoulder, and within five minutes my daughter had completely forgotten I existed. By the end of the session neither of them wanted to leave — we got the full “one more go” treatment on […]
Little Amigos Southland Review
We went back to Little Amigos at Southland on a quiet weekday morning, deliberately avoiding the weekend rush. It’s on Level 2 of Westfield Southland, and the easiest way in is through the Village Cinemas entrance, that side of the centre puts you almost right at the door. If you’ve got a Westfield membership, it’s […]
Kidsday Chatswood Chase: Price, Age Range and What We Really Thought
I got lost on the way in, which is embarrassing to admit because I know Chatswood Chase reasonably well by now. Kidsday sits up on Level 3, the rooftop car park level, and I still did a lap of the whole centre before I found the right lift. If you’re heading there for the first […]
CubeTown Glen Waverley Review
A Sweaty, Screen-Free Way to Burn Off School Holiday Energy We had already done the library, the trampoline park and two wet-weather playgrounds by day three of the holidays, and I was running out of ideas. A friend mentioned she’d taken her kids to CubeTown on the fourth floor of Kingsway Central in Glen Waverley […]
Bear and Cub Play Centre, East Bendigo
We found this one completely by accident, scrolling for something to fill a wet afternoon, and almost didn’t bother clicking through. Bendigo isn’t exactly known for its indoor play centres, so our expectations were low. Bear and Cub Play Centre turned out to be one of those quiet wins you don’t expect from a small […]
Chouchou Bebe Wentworth Point — Is It Worth the Drive? Our Honest Review
We’d heard about Chouchou Bebe Wentworth Point from three different parenting group posts before we finally loaded the kids in the car and went to see it ourselves. That’s usually a sign something’s either genuinely good or very well marketed. After a wet Saturday spent there, we think it’s a bit of both. Chouchou Bebe […]
Gumnuts Playland Knox Review
We’d been putting off a weekend trip to Westfield Knox for weeks, mostly because every indoor play centre we already knew felt a bit tired. Then a friend mentioned a new one had opened on Level 2, near Timezone, with a whole nature theme and Aussie animal mascots. That was enough to get us in […]
Minoland Oakleigh Review: Is Melbourne’s Biggest New Indoor Playground Worth the Hype?
By day three of the school holidays I was out of ideas. It was grey outside, the kids had reached that particular pitch of restlessness that only happens indoors, and my group chat had spent the whole week going on about a huge new indoor playground that had just opened in Oakleigh. Someone described it […]
Landing Playcentre Bundoora Review
If you’re looking for indoor playgrounds in Bundoora for a rainy day, school holidays, or just to burn off some toddler energy, Landing Playcentre is one of the best-looking (and best-run) options in Melbourne’s north. We spent a full morning there and here’s everything you need to know before you go. Where Is Landing Playcentre […]
Area 51 Castle Hill
A brand new indoor playground opened in Castle Hill. We had to go check it out—and yep, it was BUSY. Glad we went earlier, because by the afternoon the lines were even longer and parking got tight. We booked a 4:30pm session (1.5 hours) last minute, and luckily did it online—5–12 tickets were already sold […]
