Child’s Play – Gold Coast kids parties at play centres

Play centres are ideal party spots for the pre-prep crowd (or even older if they’re keen to burn off some energy!). Booking a party at a play centre will usually get you access to either your own room or your own set of reserved tables. The food (and the coffee!) is usually cheap, the change rooms and facilities are designed for families and there is always going to be parking available. Even better is there’s no risk of being rained out and in need of another venue!  The play centres in the Gold Coast region that offer kids party packages are:
