timezone & zone bowling @ southland, cheltenham

The newest and BIGGEST Timezone and Zone Bowling has opened its doors at Westfield Southland, and Mamma says - you are going to LOVE this one!

With rows upon rows of arcade games and claw machines, this venue features Tinezone’s only brand-new Japanese-style claw machines. Plus, it’s home to the all-new ColourGrid, an interactive floor challenge game where “the floor is lava!’.! Also exclusive to the Westfield Southland store, the super cool AR dart booths, a definite hit with the older kids (and adults too!).

Mamma’s crew couldn’t get enough of the interactive games; from shooting zombies with water pistols, to knocking down clowns with balls, and burning off energy in the flying ball booths. Mamma’s always had a soft spot for the classic basketball hoops and skill-testing claw machines—and we walked away with an adorable capybara plushie to prove it!

All that gameplay works up an appetite, so head to the eatery area for a refuel. We’re talking burgers, pizzas, hot dogs, nachos, and to wash it all down, there are indulgent milkshakes, soft drinks, and even a licensed bar for the grown-ups.

Next up: hit one of the 19 bowling lanes in the Zone Bowling section! Little ones (and big ones too!) can use bumper bowling and ramps to help score a strike. And you can even order food and drinks straight to your lane.

Once you've played your heart out, head over to the Winners Vault, a GIANT prize room, and redeem your digital tickets, and pick your goodies to take home!

This entertainment centre is guaranteed to keep the whole family entertained for hours, and is sure to be a family favourite.

little amigos @ southland, cheltenham

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.
