Indoor Playcentres on the Gold Coast

Kids will have loads of fun and adventure in indoor playcentres on the Gold Coast. Tons of colourful toys, great play equipment, and wonderful games will keep them happy for hours.

They can climb, crash and crawl through tunnels and mazes; slip and slither down slides; romp and roll in ball ponds; play, practice and pretend in cubby houses!

There are plenty of activities to stimulate and challenge your children. It’s a great way for them to burn up heaps of excess energy … and they’re sure to sleep soundly that night!

The entry price to adventure playgrounds allows unlimited playtime, which is great value for money – especially in wet weather!

Each indoor playground has a separate padded play area for toddlers and children under 3 years, where they don’t have to compete with older, more energetic kids.

You must supervise children at all times, although some Gold Coast indoor playcentres offer paid childcare for a maximum of 2 hours, at a cost of ~$10 per child.

Of importance, all indoor playcentres include a café where you can retreat for a cup of hot coffee! Other refreshments are also available.

You’ll find the cafes typically feature large glass windows so you may continue to keep an eye on your children, and may also feature partial soundproofing for added relaxation.

All playgrounds cater for children’s parties, with some indoor playcentres on the Gold Coast offering disco nights and disco parties for children up to 13 years (check with reception).
