These cinemas are an interesting prospect. On the positive side, the tickets are incredibly cheap plus you can get a full refund if you cancel before the session time (which is great when something comes up, like it did for us when there recently). However, on the downside, there are no allocated seats; meaning first in gets best choice. This can lead to queues around the corner at times and when you get in, the cinema floor is flat - so if your kids get stuck behind an adult, they can't see.

Approximate cost: $8-$12

I'm really happy with this service. It's rare to be able to get maths, science AND English tutoring at one place. This makes it alot more convenient than having sessions as two or more places through the week. Having more than one kid to run around to activities, this really suits me. Plus the tutor is friendly, and my daughter enjoys coming.

Approximate cost: $70 (2 Hours)

This is a great place to come and work out, or just to bring the kids to the pool on a hot day. It has a cafe as well, so you don't have to leave to get food (great when you ARE there with kids in tow!). The gym has classes too, as well as equipment. And the memberships are great value!
