Took my 18 month old son here - and he really had a ball in the toddler area - and his dad took him into the bigger kid area where he also really enjoyed the slide.
You can't bring in any outside food - however the meals inside are quite cheap & they have a range of sandwiches too.
If you're a member toddlers are only $5 on a Tuesday.
Adults get a free drink with their entry free

Approximate cost: $10.50 + 3.50 an adult.

Today was spent at Monkey Mania at the Docklands. It's more expensive than other play centers, ($12.50) plus adults pay $3.50 in exchange for a coffee. The staff did not look that interested in their jobs here today. We ordered two bowls of chips for the kids and they said they had run out! Obviously not organized. Even in the school holidays. The kids enjoyed it. Sitting st the tables it is hard to see your child. It's not that big either compared to others.

Approximate cost: $35.00

HI, I totally agree with your review, as you can see by my review from having my son's disatair of his birthday party here. It's a bit of a shame to see that they havent worked on improving the centre though.

Had a fantastic time here over the weekend. Really friendly staff and great coffee (which is a real help!). Most of all- the kids loved it.

Approximate cost: $35

Wasn't a HUGE fan of this play center. It is in Harbour Town Shopping Center. They offer a drop n shop program where you can drop the kids off for a fee. I met some friends there with our kids and it was Very hectic, loud and out of control!! The toddler area was very small and tucked at the back of the building although it is fenced. The admission price was more than most and there was a charge for parents also which is unlike any other indoor play center I have been to. On the plus side they give you a voucher for a free coffee (which you really pay for in the admission fee) - would go again but only as it is central.

Approximate cost: $2 years & under $10.50 3 years & over $12.50 Adults $3.50 (incl. coffee)

Only been there once for a birthday party. Host didnt seem too organised...didnt do any activities with the children. The place itself is quite big. Its hard to keep an eye on your children there, which i wasnt too enthusiastic about. Food was delicious though

I had my son's 3rd birthday party at monkey mania, what a absoulte disaster, when we arrived 5 mins before the party started the last party hadnt even finished in the space room,Then we had to wait 30mins literally for my sons party to be set up and as some of his guests had allergies to food, I also paid an extra $50.00 for the "Monkey to attend the Party" only to find out on the day, that their was no Monkey and I only find this out, because i asked why we hadnt had the monkey yet and the Managers reply was oh no the person called in sick the smorning so theres no Monkey attending the parties today . The monkey was only booked for your party and 1 other, so were not having the monkey today. They so called "fixed this monkey stuff up by giving me a pass for 5 more free visits as they cant refund money back", as its not there policy. What a joke.

Approximate cost: $240.00

I was there once with my 2.5 years old daughter. I was surprised about the huge area in the middle with lots of tables and chairs, and the several smaller rooms at the right hand side of the playground, which are reserved for birthday parties only. There was a jumping castle and a huge climbing area with several slides and a ball shooting machine for the bigger kids. Also several computer games, which are in my opinion should not be available at an indoor playground. At last to mention is the toddlers area, which is a fenced small area with a mini-slide, some instruments chained to the wall and more playcomputers!!! As my daughter is fascinated by anything electronical and is also not allowed to watch much TV, she surely did spent her whole 2 hours in front of the computers instead of interacting with the other children. Although there were only 2 others at that time. All in all I must say that the price for under 3-year-old (8.50$) + the 3.50$ each parent has to pay (but you get 1 free drink LOL) is far too expensive and as said before: Playcomputers do NOT belong on a playground!!! I would not recommend to go there.

Approximate cost: $15

This place is a must if you are visiting the Docklands. It is great, we've taken the kids there several times. It's huge play area is fully enclosed in netting and the flooring is thick matting in case of falls. Kids of all ages can play in this massive area made up of 3 different levels and 3 large slides at the end. There are also 2 other play areas, one for toddlers with computer games and mini playgym which is enclosed with kid proof gating and then there is a jumping castle. Parents can sit and relax with a cuppa, the paper or a book and can see the play area clearly no matter where they sit. Cafe prices are a little high but not outrageous as some others. You can even leave the kids in the care of staff who will supervise them whilst you go shop in peace!!
