Whether it’s a rainy day or you’re just looking for something for the kids to do while you kick back with a cuppa, there are indoor play centres in Sydney, somewhere near you.
From inflatable obstacle courses to soft play, ball pits, dodgem cars and video games, these play centres have something for every age and they all have a cafe or eatery attached to them too.
Make sure to check in with the centres as some of them close for private parties. It’s also a requirement that children (and adults) wear socks while on the play equipment.
If you’re looking for something of a smaller scale where food is the main event (for the adults anyway!) check out our Kid Friendly Cafes list.
