But this is their day and it's a place any child would happily divorce their parents to move into 24/7 if it was an option. Lots of slides climbing gear etc etc ( you can tell I'm impressed huh?) but an adequate cafe, coffee wasn't too bad either! So here I sit happily dreaming of day spas while my kids scream with glee amongst the tens of hundred of other kids doing the same thing......bliss.

Not being familiar, we found it a bit hard to find but once we found out it was on Level 3 next to all the cinemas and games, we were set! The play centre is well laid out with a separate area for toddlers so they don't get knocked over by the older kids and there is an awesome foam ball room with canons and vacuums that suck up the balls to different sections ready to launch. There's even an awesome pirate ship ride inside the venue! On first impression the centre is clean and well maintained and the staff were very attentive especially amongst all the birthday excitement. The staff were loud and clear when giving instructions and made sure all the kids had drinks topped up and birthday cake. Both the kids and adults were fed with sandwiches, fruits and hot food and you if you're after something a little more special you can also order some desserts from the window display. I think we've found another new place to catch up with our mummy friends! :)

For those who love clean equipment for bubs, decent caffeine for adults, fairly quiet space (for…read morenow). This place is a must visit. The staff are welcoming and friendly, loves a chat with you and the little ones. There are different play zones for big and small kids, and story books in the cafés for your LO whist u take a well deserved break. They ask you to take off your shoes in the play area which is fantastic, but sadly don't reinforce it/ no signage (my only grip)

I was so excited to see a great play centre open up on this area... We have needed one!…read more It is open, clean and lots of space. Big issues The "toddler area" is not closed off from children of all other ages. The result is much older children causing havoc in the area, and parents of tiny babies and young toddlers becoming very nervous, then frustrated and I saw an altercation between the mum of a young girl maybe 7-12 months and the mother of a 7 year old boy who was chasing 2 other kids through the area, climbing onto the roof of the toddler play area and jumping down and using the toddler tunnel as a hurdle. Understandably as Mums of small children, my son is one, we were distressed that not one staff member addressed this issue at all. I would recommend this play centre for older kids where mums can use the opportunity to sit down and have a coffee while their kids play. It's not ideal for little ones That being said there is a "supermarket" and "animal hospital" play area on the right as you walk in, we didn't go to this area as our son is more interested in climbing, slides and bouncing balls than dolls or mock supermarkets. So I can't really comment on that area. $10 for my son and $2.50 per adult it's not a cheap afternoon by any means

Came here once 1.5 years ago and my daughter had a blast. This time... absolutely appalling…read moreexperience. If you want rude staff, zero atmosphere and your child to experience direct hostility in a crappy atmosphere... this is the spot. I asked if I could take a photo of my daughter rock climbing... just met with the word "No" repeatedly - no matter how a question was phrased. No No No. She wanted to go on the dodgem cars... the lady put her in by herself... ran it for 30-45 seconds then just switched them off, and wordlessly pushed her out. If you are unable to civilly interact with children... I'd suggest finding a different line of work than a supposed children's play centre. And this was consistent across all staff in direct contact with children. Would not return. Would not recommend. We lasted about 30-45 mins maximum. I regret giving them a cent of my money. Utter crap and an awful experience.

Parking can…read morebe a little tricky but there can often be a spot in Mangalore St. It is the perfect place to take the kids on a rainy day or just when you need to get the rugrats out of the house for a few hours. Pros * this place is cheap! $6 per child and adults are free! * It is huge! I mean really huge! There is an indoor bouncy castle, a climbing maze thing, racetrack and a whole stack of other fun things to do! * There are 5 or 6 booths down the back wall that you can book for a party or for any reason really. Cons * If you have a baby, the babies corner is fairly small and bigger kids can jump the back of the chairs to get in so you will often see a 5 year old belly flop into the baby ball pit * Read their terms carefully, when they get busy they can throw you out after two hours. So make sure you ask before you hand over your cash. * All adults must be accompanied by a child. Don't you hate that? This is a great way to get the little ones all tuckered out so you can have a quiet night!

So I was grateful to find Tickety Boo, the oldest indoor play centre in Melbs and perhaps the last one I found. Not far out of the city, just up past the Royal Children's Hospital on Mt Alexander rd you'll find Tickety Boo. Open til 5 seven days per week, cheap play rates (around $5 entry for kids to play as long as they want), age appropriate play grounds and toys from babies right up to about 14. A great cafe inside offering healthy and fried foods, plenty of tables and seating for mums and dads, and a stack of mags to allow parents some down time as well. A couple of themed rooms for birthday parties (I prefer World of Kaos' set up in Roxburgh Park but the kids will love this one just the same). Honestly, you don't get this much rest and relaxation at home! And if your kids are 3 and over you won't need to supervise too much, and it's great because you can pretty much watch from any table or seat in the centre.
