smash splash, oakleigh

Feel like smashing, crashing or splashing out some rage? Then THIS is the place you NEED to visit!

Feel like smashing out some rage? Then THIS is the place you NEED to visit!
There are three different options for some serious stress relief at this funky warehouse. SMASH, CRASH or SPLASH. The Mamma’s couldn’t wait to get stuck in to smashing things! So the SMASH room it was!

First, you need to suit up into your safety gear - overalls, gloves and helmet with a face shield. Next - select your music to smash to. Then you have three ways of smashing. You can pick up and throw glasses, plates and bowls against the wall - or you can place an object on top of a safety cone and smash it with a baseball bat! Your third choice is to totally destroy objects like toasters, DVD players and vacuum cleaners with a sledgehammer! (There are extra costs for this.) It is such a surreal, but AWESOME feeling!

There’s now a CRASH room too, which is fun for the whole family! Think - a giant ball pit - the whole room is a ball pit where you can ‘crash’ into. There are sumo suits you can battle with, pool noodles, basketball hoops and balls. The kids will love the opportunity to battle their sibling - or parent!

Then there’s the Splash room, another option for ages 5+ You will have balloons full of paint that you throw against a wall - which is your own giant canvas to make a work of art. Another - more artistic - option of de-stressing!

So much fun. Mamma will definitely be back! (Most likely during School holidays…)

This spot is a little family treasure! All the fun and action of a larger play centre, without the huge crowds.
Perfect for kids up to 12 - with FOUR levels of playground fun! Clamber through lattice tunnels, over roller poles, blast a ball cannon and race down the 3 wave slides!

There’s also a 5D MOVIE RIDE! This is incredibly unique, with only a few operating in Melbourne!

There’s also a separate area dedicated to the under 5s. This awesome spaceship themed structure has a huge ball pit, spinny chairs, an activity wall, mini soft slide and soft blocks to build/stand on. There’s also a few ride-on bikes that you can zoom around the large open area on.

superzu, dingley

WARNING: This is not your average play centre. Be prepared to be lost in the jungle for a few hours, as you have a safari good time and this incredible indoor play centre.

Be warned, this is not your every-day play centre! Do not enter this place expecting to leave after an hour. You will be here much, much longer than that. Because this place is AMAZING!

With over 2000 square metres of fully equipped floor space, you will not find anything else like it in an indoor playcentre environment. Throw in the awesome zoo theme, and you have a fully unique experience!

Where to start?
Perhaps with the massive climbing volcano - once up the top, run around the 1 kilometre of trails, tunnels, trampolines and tubes all above ground. Take a tube ride back to the bottom, jump on a safari buggy and go for a cruise?
Or perhaps toddlers might want to go to their fully enclosed section, enter the 'catch a balloon chamber' play with the air balls and pit, go for a slide and then build a sculpture with the large lego?

The possibilities are endless! This place is truly awesome - this mamma highly recommends it! 
Also worth noting is the consideration of the food menu. There are plenty of vegetarian, gluten-free and varied menu options, and the coffee is amazing!

Mamma's special mention

paint a pot, narre warren

Not only can you make a work of art here; but there’s a toddler indoor play area AND a cafe!

Mamma absolutely LOVES this place!
Not only can you paint ceramic shapes (such a fond childhood memory) but there is also a cafe!

You can choose from dozens of different figurines. They range from small shapes right up to large works of art. There's animals, fairies, mermaids, dragons, trains, cars - and so many more!
Be prepared for special occasions - and look at the gorgeous range of hand/foot print keepsakes, like plates, cups, bowls and tiles. 

There are two types of paint on offer. One that you can take home on the day, and the other you leave over night to be fired. It all depends on the type of look that you are after, and also the patience of the little artist!
Then there's the awesome soft-play area; perfect for kids up to 10. There are tunnels, slides, multi-levels and even a ball pit!

The cafe serves great coffee, simple food and awesome kids platter-style plates.

Slides! This cool space-themed play centre is all about the SLIDES!

There are triple racing ones, huge twisty ones, an inflatable one and even a steep drop slide for the brave! This is what makes it a great option for all ages. Mamma’s 8-year-old still had a great time here and couldn’t get enough of the fun.

Along with slides there are mutli-levels of tunnels, flying foxes, floor-is-lava stepping stones, and lots more fun. You can also try your luck in the arcade area.

Of course, there’s plenty for the toddlers too - with a separate enclosed section for the under 5s - this includes a spaceship-themed structure that has a slide disembarking into a ball pit, activity boards and little mazes.

vjunior cinema @ southland shopping centre

A cinema experience designed for kids - by kids! 

If you haven’t yet been here - your family movie experiences are about to be transformed - this kid friendly cinema is pretty cool!

The fun starts before the movie even begins! You enter down the rainbow carpet of the Vjunior entrance - there is a totally separate entrance here, complete with its own little snack bar, too!

Then the foyer is decked out with blocks, colouring stations and matchbox car tracks. Grab your snacks - you can even order burgers - and head on in.

The cinema is broken into three sections - the front has leather lounge style recliners, the middle has squishy kid sized beanbag style couches and then at the back - your normal leather cinema seats.

Then the kids can slide down the super long slide - spanning the whole length of the cinema! Keep an eye on the screen to see if your colouring made it to the big screen.

Movies shown here are more sensory considered, the lights are kept on low, and the volume isn’t as high - plus there is even an intermission mid way through the movie - allowing time for a toilet break and a quick slide!
The slide and play zone is closed when the movie starts so everyone can still enjoy the movie! Check out other Vjunior theatres near you - Fountain Gate, Plenty Valley, Geelong and Sunshine

king tutts putt putt @ le mans entertainment, dandenong south

Putt loose on this awesome glow in the dark indoor mini golf!

Here is a brand new glow-in-the-dark, Egyptian AND Dino themed, indoor mini-golf course that the whole family will LOVE!

Located at the front of the adrenalin filled Le Mans Entertainment in Dandenong South, you will be greeted by a giant King Kong! Mamma says make sure you sit in the car he’s about to crush and pose for the obligatory selfie (there’s even a selfie stand welded near by!).

Then you can have a practice hit to get a feel for the different surfaces you’ll be putting on. There’s 18 holes, where you will spend the first 9 immersed in Egyptian pyramids - watch out for protruding snakes and Mummies emerging from tombs!

The second 9 holes are packed with Dino fun! Roaring and animatronic dinosaurs add to the vibe, as you putt your way through flowing lava, prehistoric poops and there’s even a giant crocodile in a cage that pops out to distract your game! Fun fact - this crocodile is the original prop used in the Crocodile Dundee movie!

The attention to detail here - and the artwork - is truly amazing and makes for such a fun and immersive atmosphere. There is a delicious new menu in the cafe offering chicken tenders, wings, loaded fries and burgers (that you can choose up to triple deckers!).

It’s such a great spot for some family - or date night - fun.

Do you have a little (or big!) race car enthusiast? If so, you NEED to check out this place - it’s SO much fun! It’s like Hot Wheels on steroids!

Perfect for ages 5+, even the adults will love experiencing the thrill of racing. If you’re new to the sport, you can hire a slot car to race - or feel free to bring your own if you have one. Line them up on the track, plug in your remote, press the trigger and you’re racing!

Mr Slot Car also has a drag track upstairs for competitions and professionals, a retail store selling HEAPS of cars such as - slot cars, diecast cars, RC cars and track pieces. There’s also a cafe AND they offer kids parties!

Add this to your list for your next indoor adventure - you’ll love it!

SPECIAL DEAL - limited time

Here’s a fantastic offer, or even a gift idea for that budding racer in the family to own a slot car and race it at MrSlotcar.

If you are a new customer, or don’t own a slot car and love racing, now you can own a brand-new Subaru or Dodge Viper (valued at $59) and get a 3-hour time card (valued at $30) for a total of only $39. Saving you $50.

When you finish your first session you’ll hand back the car and time card to remain at MrSlotcar until you have exhausted all 3 hours on your time card. Once you’ve used up the 3 hours, the car is yours to take home. The only cost incurred on each visit, is a $2 fee for controller hire.

Terms: The 3-hour hire card must be used within a 12-month period. Then you get to take it home. If the car is unclaimed within 12 months you will forfeit all moneys and ownership.

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!
