Wow.took my niece there and i did not think it would be an expensive day but as it turned out it was?the place was super loud and the food was ok?but my niece did not really play for long as there were a lot of children unsupervised and being a bit spiteful.she mainly sat with me,well for the price of the day it was not worth it.

I decided to give lollipops a try given how many review she and parents were raving about it. After our visit I couldn't work out why?!
Entry fee for children 1-12yrs old including a meal was $20 and $4 for an adult. If you didn't have socks, you had to purchase a pair at $3 each. I could understand the kids fees however the play area for the 1yr olds is appalling with nothing of interest for them. It's no wonder my little one wanted to join her 4yr old sister in the bigger area however the really big kids came in to this area and were running around and throwing the balls. Not a single staff member stopped this. Food was ok but if you want more topping than just cheese on the kids pizza, prepare to pay!
After leaving, I realised I should've gone to MacArthur square soft play instead with $10 entry fee per child and adults are free. Would've only spent $20 for a better play area instead of the outrageous $50 I spent in total where my 1yr old hardly could do anything anyway.
Never going or recommending this place again!

Approximate cost: $50

Lollipops is a great few hours out for the kids but a workout for the parents! There is a lot of running around to be had - unfortunately for parents of younger kids who need to be supervised more closely, it is not all in view from your seat! On the flip side, there is more to do for the kids at Lollipops than at the other smaller play centres in the area. I guess it also means the kids won't struggle so much against nap time. Lollipops also puts on discos and has clowns, craft and other entertainment, moreso during school holidays and at weekends.

We've been here a couple of times, and my kids love it. It is not particularly cheap but cheaper than MonkeyMania. The playarea is pretty large and the food is what you expect. I'm good with everything except the fact that they advertise free Wifi but none is available and the excuse I've been given the few times I've been there is that it's still not fixed. If that is the case, then I'd suggest they dont advertise it. All in all, it's an ok place - probably would take the kids there in the future.

I've taken my kids here a few times, although my youngest at the time (1 year old) hated it (it was very loud & he freaked!) but my 3 year old loves it. It is quite pricey for a 3 year old since she wasn't confident enough to play on the big climbing area and the big slide, but she had a ball nonetheless. There's even a carousel which they let kids ride every 30 mins. I'll be back again soon now the kids are a little older - hopefully they both get a little more out of it. It's unfortunate that you aren't allowed to bring your own food in here as I dislike buying junk food from cafes. Great place for kids parties and for kids around 5 years old.

Approximate cost: $12

a good layout here the kids love all the balls to play in. i do find it expensive if you have a few kids but it is well maintained and clean. got a small cafe I bring my own food lol as it saves me a packet. but overall the kids love it what more do you want!!

We first visited Lollipops about two months ago, having purchased a $5 child entry pass on one of those bulk discount coupon websites (eg Scoopon). Adults still have to pay $3.50 each but this buys them a drink from the cafe.

My daughter had only just turned two and because it was a school day, she had run of the place - not only was it quiet but the young kids are allowed in the big kid area on weekdays. She loved it! We were able to accompany her as she climbed the heights and slid down the slides but she took to it like a duck to water and it ended up being a case of the parents just wanting to keep an eye on her rather than assisting her.

We've returned a few times since then, always on a coupon or promotion (they do Facebook fan promotions and I've just noticed they promote on Shopper Dockets, too) as we don't really get the value for money out of the $10.95 ($12.95 on weekends) all-day pass that older kids might. For the same price as my two year old, kids up to their teens can hang out here all day if they wish. I'm sure that's a great investment for parents if okder kids!

We haven't bought food from the cafe but we've always traded our adult entry ticket for a hot drink. The coffee is very strong (I'm not a fan if strong coffee!) but the chai latte is good. The menu is basic, planned more around kids than adults, and the prices are fair. There may be a long wait for your food (or other services), though, as they always appear to be grossly understaffed so that when it gets a bit busy, nobody is attending the entry register, operating the mechanical ride or cleaning up thd dangerous food spills because the (poor) only staff member working is making the food and drinks.

This place is such a huge hit with my daughter that she talks about it daily to anybody who will listen and even wakes up from dreams, talking about it at night. It's the first thing we ban her from when she is being very naughty! She votes it 5 stars!

Approximate cost: $11

My children attended a birthday party at this play centre recently. The centre is quite large with lots of seating for adults. The climbing structure is very large too and it is easy to lose track of your children in. the kids loved the slides and also loved the teacup ride when it was going. There didn't seem to be much of a toddler play area though. The toilets looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a while.
