This incredible new Twisted Science centre is the latest and GREATEST family fun in the South!

This incredible Twisted Science centre is the latest and GREATEST family fun in the South! Both educational and FUN - with every exhibit built for touching and exploring - no need to worry about keeping little hands off!

In the Green playroom you have super fun exhibits to test such as; make your own stop motion movie (think along the lines of Shaun the Sheep!), make a spinner and watch as it floats on air, test your skills in creating wooden go carts, a magnetic ball run, test your dance skills in an energy operated game, try riding a bike with square wheels!

Mamma’s Little Miss can not get enough of the sand table - which is this awesome light and touch activated sand game where you can opt to pop some balloons or create a sand safari. But her favourite thing in this section is the BUBBLE room! You can create giant bubbles and steam bubbles! Lots of messy fun. A close second favourite was the insect room with microscopes to investigate all kinds of materials up close.

The next area is the Blue room. In here you will find giant kaleidoscopes, reaction testers, build and fire a rocket, a rope maze, an upside down bedroom, a bike to charge your phone and HEAPS more. The favourite from this section was the awesome Airways room - which is a room full of pipes and tubes and spinning wheels where you send balls travelling through!

The Tangerine room is perfect for toddlers, it’s gated and has lots of things to explore and discover. Just above this area is little lounge to have a rest if needed.

There really is so much to do here that you will easily fill in your 3.5 hour session! There’s also a cafe so you can quench your thirst and a little gift shop to take home some fun!

Mamma’s Special Mention: Head down the road to Moorabbin Reserve to keep the playtime going!

Jump into some fun and bounce off some excess energy!
This is the perfect all-weather energy burning paradise. The kids can go crazy for the duration of their one-hour session, and the parents can sit and enjoy a coffee and some space!

There’s something for all ages here, with four separate sections. The littlest ones can explore the playground, the gym mat and the dozens of bouncy trampolines. While the bigger, braver ones can jump of the multilevel platform and fall into a pit filled with huge foam blocks. Or if they are a bit shy to try the platform, they can jump off the edge instead. There’s also the basketball tramp area where they can give slam dunking a try.

It’s the perfect way to tire out the kids and they will love you for it!

x golf, mornington

This is some awesome family fun right here! No need to worry about the weather to get in your hit of golf.

This is some awesome family fun right here! No need to worry about the weather to get in your hit of golf.
There are 5 simulators here, allowing you to virtually experience the worlds best golf courses, driving ranges and fun games (think mini golf-esque). For the kids - they get to play a video-game style of mini golf that is loads of fun. For those that aren’t familiar with these simulators, it is basically you whacking the ball as hard (but accurately) as you can against a curtain-like screen (except it’s way more technical, including infra-red lasers, cameras and sensors).
It’s a great way to practise your skills and perfect spot for socialising! You can grab some food and they are licensed too.
If the littlest ones get a little distracted, you can occupy them with a TV, chalk board and colouring tools.
There are also pool tables, pinball machine and a shuttle board table to keep the good times rolling.
They offer golf lessons, weekly X-Leagues have Live sports on the TV and you can have kids parties, hens/bucks nights and all sorts of events here. Perfect school holiday fun, folks!

Now THIS is how you want to spend your day folks! Treat yourself to a little indulgence.

Now THIS is how you want to spend your day folks! Treat yourself to a little indulgence.
If you’re anything like Mamma, you may be a little cautious about the claustrophobia factor that comes with a float tank. For those that don’t know what these are, they are an individual tank, shallow filled with water and over 350kgs of Epsom salt. You lay in there, in total darkness and the water is heated to body temp (34.5c) so that you don’t know where your body ends and the water begins. Due to all the salt, you float effortlessly and can totally immerse yourself in relaxation. Your senses will be heightened as you switch off and just ‘be’.
Mamma was a little scared that it would be overwhelming and feel ‘trapped’ - but was also super excited to feel the sensation of floating. You can leave the roof cracked a little if you feel nervous, and there’s a little light you can leave on inside the tank as well. You are totally in control of the environment, and it is amazing! It’s very cool, and it’s something you just have to try! After your float, you get a delicious herbal tea and slice, while you awake from your restful trance-like state.

Apart from the tank, you can also experience the salt room, sauna, get a massage, sports therapy, and try out this awesome light therapy called Pandora Star.
Or, if you are just after a peaceful and quiet location, you can head down there, grab a tea or coffee (from the delicious local commonfolk coffee) and sit in the library. It is such a peaceful and tranquil place. You will feel so relaxed just sitting in the light-filled and quiet environment.
Keep your eyes peeled as there will be some pamper packages coming out soon - which would be the ultimate girls (or guys!) day out. Fabulous gift idea too, with vouchers available.

Mamma’s special mention: Keep the health and relaxation theme going and head for a walk at the stunning The Briars in Mt Martha.

bounce inc, glen iris

Unleash the ninja warriors and fly like a bird at this fabulously bouncy spot!

You gotta BOUNCE baby! This place is unreal and ALL the kids Mamma taught back at school would seriously rave about it. Bounce Inc is all about the action and getting some serious air time. The centre runs sessions all week long and all jumpers are supported and supervised by excellent staff members who are SUPER enthusiastic. The kids will get their hearts racing quickly and don’t be surprised if they start to glow with sweat after all that jumping, balancing and flipping. 

Alongside the trampoline park is the X Park Zone. Designed for the kids 125cm, this zone is where the inner ninja warriors unleash their skills, with a whole course to swing and climb your way through - plus a whole section for parkour… In fact, the contestants on the show trained here as preparation!

Mamma’s special mention: There’s a junior jumper area for the really little ones - as well as a soft play area - their motto is ‘If they can walk they can Bounce!”.

There are a number of Bounce Inc venues across Melbourne, including Blackburn and Essendon. Each centre is slightly different - but you can take your socks with you - so it is worth exploring them all!

melbourne sports and aquatic centre, albert park

Jump off the diving boards, slide down the water slide, splash in the shallow pool with bubble fountains and get swept away in the wave pool!

*Waterslide and Diving boards no longer accessible

Splashing around at an aquatic centre is the ultimate all-weather activity! It doesn’t matter if it is 40 or 4 degrees, here the temperature is always perfect.

Mamma’s crew had never visited MSAC before, and boy were they blown away! It is such a HUGE centre and there’s so much fun to be had.

Even though they loved splashing in the shallow pool with the bubble fountain; they all agreed that the absolute best fun was the wave pool. The little ones stayed in the shallow end where they were gently swayed by the waves; whilst the older ones couldn’t get enough of the huge waves that formed right in the corner of the pool. So much fun.

There’s lots more that MSAC offers as well, such as: creche, swimming lessons, parties, gym, hydrotherapy pool and awesome school holiday activities. Mamma’s little one insisted that he simply MUST have his birthday party here next year! For more info on having a party, click here.

Attention climbers! You are going to love it here!
There are so many different climbs that you can challenge yourself on. 
Kids from as young as 3 can join in on the fun. But it is definitely not only for kids! The adult course takes you on an upside down climb - one for the brave!
You can come and do a climb casually for 1 hour - or if you are more serious about climbing you can take some lessons, become a member and make it your regular work out!
And what a work out it is! Mamma's crew were utterly exhausted at the end of their climb. They used their little muscles to climb up snakes and ladders, spiderwebs, fake rock and glass walls - and lots more.
Such good fun. Just be sure to be on time, as you will have a one hour block, and it can get very busy!

Mamma's special mentions
Looking for a sugar hit after extending all that energy? Five minutes up the road is the BEST icecream you are likely to eat at Gelato Unou ice creamery.
