We only ended up here because another playcentre at Highpoint was too crowded! Didn’t want to wait half an hour to get into Little Amigos, so we went downstairs to SuperPark instead, and the kids played for four hours straight. Best accident of the week.
What’s actually in there
So much more than we expected, way more than a standard indoor playground. SuperPark splits into a few zones and we genuinely didn’t get through all of it in four hours.
Interactive trampolines
This was the most popular thing by far, and worth queuing for. A screen in front of each trampoline bank runs a game and tells you where to jump next, so it’s not just bouncing, it’s actually got an objective. Both kids kept going back to it over and over and barely wanted to do anything else for a stretch.
Pedal go karts
A little track with pedal cars you steer around yourself, our younger one especially couldn’t get enough of this, did lap after lap after lap.
Ball sports everywhere
Basketball hoops, soccer goals, rugby targets, bowling-style setups, scattered through the space rather than in one section. It’s basically heaven if you’ve got a kid who just wants to throw or kick things at a target, they can move from one to the next without waiting around.
Archery
Didn’t expect this at all. A proper archery section with real bows, and I ended up having a go myself and didn’t want to stop, probably spent longer there than the kids did.
Mini Adventure City and the ball pit
A big enclosed play structure with a ball pit, double slides, nets and climbing bits built into it, this is where our younger one spent a lot of time running in and out of the ball pit and going down the slides on repeat.
The adventure and ninja course
A whole separate area for climbing, balance and crawling through tunnels and obstacles, ninja warrior style. Good for burning off the last bit of energy once they’ve done a lap of everything else.
Toddler area
A separate, gentler space for the littlest ones, soft ball pit and low climbing gear, so a younger sibling isn’t getting run over by bigger kids while everyone else is on the trampolines or the adventure course.
Not just for the kids
This is the bit that surprised me most, honestly I had as much fun as my kid did. A lot of the equipment is built for adults too, so you end up jumping around right alongside them instead of standing at the edge watching. There’s a cafe if you need a sit down and a coffee, and several private rooms you can book for birthday parties.
What to bring and know before you go
Bring water and snacks, ours point blank refused to leave when it was time to go. If you’ve already got SuperPark grip socks bring them, otherwise budget the extra $3.50 each. The height limit is generous, basically the only one is 110cm max in the toddler ball pit area, everything else is open once a child’s over about 100cm. If you’re not having fun in the first 15 minutes they’ll give your money back, which says something about how confident they are.
It’s right in Highpoint Shopping Centre, so there’s a big lolly shop and toy store nearby if you want to make a whole outing of it, and plenty of food options for lunch after.
Is SuperPark Highpoint worth it
Yes, especially on a weekday. We went on a Monday and it wasn’t busy at all, which made a big difference to how much the kids got to do. It’s inside Highpoint Shopping Centre at Shop L07 6201/200 Rosamond Rd, Maribyrnong, right above the car park, so parking is easy. Current pricing on their site is $30 per person for a 2 hour weekday session, $35 on weekends and public holidays, kids under 2 are free, and grip socks are $3.50 if you don’t already own a pair (SuperPark). They also offer a one hour trial pass for $20 to $25 if you’re not sure yet. Booking online ahead is worth it, weekends and holidays sell out and they don’t always have room for walk-ins.
Going in the school holidays
Book ahead for this one, school holiday sessions fill up fast and weekend pricing applies during the break. The Victorian spring school holidays run 19 September to 4 October this year, so a weekday morning session is your best bet for a quieter visit.
