little amigos @ southland, cheltenham

21 June

Little Amigos is your next go-to when the kids need to get out of the house. This play centre takes cute to the next level - think wall to wall colour and dazzling lights that act as a shot of instant joy from the moment you step through the archway.

From pampering in the princess room to building in the construction pit, there's a space to match every interest and mood. A clear crowd favourite? The massive ball pit with slides, interactive game screen, and vacuum shoots.

Mamma’ has never meet a kid who didn’t love a pretend supermarket or kitchen - and Little Amigos nails it. With plush groceries, a beeping scanner, and light-up hot plates, Mamma’s 2 year old spent most of the time shopping and cooking up a storm.

Mamma’s pick? The maker space loft overlooking the entire centre. Race the kids to win a prize in the multi-level claw machine or build glowing towers with the LED blocks. You’ll also find busy boards and sensory activities for those across the walls to occupy little hands.

Parents can relax in the spacious dining area with a coffee or bite to eat while the kids ride the Little Amigos Express – running every 30 minutes (under 3s ride with an adult). And for the tiniest amigos? The baby room is packed with toys perfect for little hands.

Hot tip: This is a shoeless space, so don’t forget socks! But if you do, don’t worry – you can grab a pair at the door.
