Further, posting poor reviews because of things out of the business control seems disingenuous. Badly behaved children and noise/chaos as kids go bananas while they excitability play is part of the landscape in these places. True negatives are the lack of immediate parking, we grabbed a park around the corner, but the second car park is a walk around the block. The menu is limited, but quite adequate and the coffee is superb. The prices are reasonable, so don't sneak food or drink in, after all - it's a business that needs to make a profit to survive. The play area is larger than photos show, as it's quite deep. Certainly not as large as the other play cafes we've visited - but big and varied enough to keep legions of youngsters entertained. On the whole, this cafe is an asset to parents in the area and seems to run well. Child entrance cost is on par with the competition and food & drinks a little cheaper. Worth a visit.

Fairly big indoor softplay warehouse, with separate areas catering for babies, under 5's and under…read more10's. the frame is large enough for adults to get through, unlike many of those tiny play centres in shopping centres. We've come here a couple of times now during the summer school holidays, during the week on those delightful 39/40 degree days. This one seems to be big by Aussie standards (much smaller though than one we used to almost live at last year during the freezing months of the UK winter). On our visits I found the wacky warehouse to be clean, well maintained, and well monitored. It seems to be well air conditioned, but then we've only been in the morning and it hasn't been too busy. There are only 11 on site car parks, another reason for coming early. Weekday mornings are definitely a good time to come. I can only imagine how loud and out of control this place would get on the weekend. Also, while there are separate areas for different age groups reality is - bigger kids will stay out if the baby area because there isn't anything interesting for them in there, but the bigger kids do flow into and out of the under 5 area. Also my 20 month wasn't interested in the baby area and preferred following her 5 year old brother through the under 10 area (with me following behind) - not something I would be prepared to do if it was full. Last tip: bring your own bottled water, the fruit plate looks good, and there seems to be an ok-ish selection of food (see the photos of the menu).

This play cafe is big, like crane your neck to see the top of the play equipment big. And during…read moreholidays it hits capacity. The age group in this place is one to twelve years: there are twelve year old pubescent boys hammering full throttle down the same slides as toddlers. It's like a social experiment, or an episode of the Kardashians. What's going to happen? Who's going to cry? Who will poop their pants? The kids move so fast they're just a blur of brightly coloured hysteria. It's ten dollars per child to get in, not including the eight dollars fifty you have to pay for a little bowl of wedges. That's right, eight dollars fifty! A lot of parents like the madness and the noise. Being able to hold an adult conversation in the midst of this sort of chaos makes them feel empowered. I am not one of them. I'll develop my child's gross motor skills on a backyard trampoline, thank you very much.

On top of entry now being $12.00 it makes it a very expensive day out. The service is very abrupt and in fact borders on being rude.

In an attempt to kill some time before a movie which we were early for (okay, we were actually LATE for the early screening so now had to attend the later one...) Intencity was the number one choice! Packed full of arcade games of yesteryear (well okay, from the mid 2000s) Intencity was the number one choice for the coolest kids party back in the day. Now, most kids have cooler games plugged into their TVs at home. The boys were occupied with a shooting game for a while - good value for $2 and then I took one of them on in a game of Air Hockey - great fun and it lasted for ages as the machine wasn't picking up every score!! Free game time FTW!!! It was at this point that we decided to try and win 'tickets' from the machine. We tried to dupe the machine and get as many tickets as we could but after spending $10 between three of us we only had enough to get 2 fun sized mars bars or 10 minties. Unfortunately many of the games were out of order - I was super keen to have a dance battle, and show off my 90s Brittany style dance moves - but I couldn't do that, partially because of the machine not working and partially because I have no moves. In fact, I'd say about 50% of the machines had an out of order sign and for that reason, points have been deducted!

Entry was $7 for our baby and nothing for us to supervise (we were allowed in and to help her down things etc as shes so little. Usually the sessions are 2 hours long but as we were there in the last session and they weren't busy we were allowed to stay as long as we liked. The under 5's section has 4 main inflatable areas, one big farm jumping castle which Boo didn't go on as it was walled and we couldn't see her inside it, a globe jumping castle with slide, a basketball inflatable 'court' and a smurfs inflatable area with slide. They also had an area with big blocks etc to play with. Everything is quite safe and well placed that i wasn't concerned at all (except when she fell sideways down the slide but SHE loved that!) Boo had a ball and played so much she was exhausted when we left. The adult/big kids areas looked like a blast too and its great that they cover all ages so anyone can have fun. They have an indoor cafe and toilets etc for convenience. They take credit cards (except AMEX) and cash. There are also benches for the adults to sit and watch if they like or you can sit in the cafe area.

The very same second cousin who never has to deal with the little brat. Cruel, I know. But I'm sure we'll get along when he's older. Anyway, when I'm stuck with him I feel guilty setting him in front of the television or computer, and that guilt drives me to take him out where he can grow into a human being, and not a robot. I usually prefer to take him to outdoor places that don't hurt my wallet, but I'm afraid of the few universal truths in this world, this is one of them: nothing beats Kiddie Cove. I think I get about as excited as the children do. The colours, the characters, the activities... it's really quite spectacular. If you suffered an unwanted pregnancy, or are burdened with a child not of your own blood, take them here and leave them here. If you really like the child, or have obligations to your godfather, take them here for a little while, and you'll bring them back brighter than they went in.

The Fairies store on Portrush road is actually the first one they opened after the TV show took off, and it caused quite a stir in 2008. Kids started having Wizard parties and Fairy Craft Parties and it was a big deal in the toddler rooms and kindergartens of Adelaide. My daughter did toddler fairy dance there a few times but quickly lost interest which was a relief considering how expensive it is. Cruelly, the main area at reception is filled with perhaps one to two million dollars worth of merchandise, all at toddler height so they can rip it from the shelf and threaten a huge tantrum if you don't buy them the sparkly pink magic busy bee antenna. Despite the expense you have to admit the kids love it, and if the kids heart something, there's plenty of parents ready to throw their dosh. But I was very relieved when my daughter outgrew them because quite frankly they were too pricey for this rainbow princess.
