A water bottle to stay hydrated during all the fun. A light jumper – the temperature can drop in the evening. Cash for the arcade games if your kids want extra playtime. **Best Age Range Best for 4–12 year olds. Toddlers are welcome but need close supervision in the play areas. **Good to Know No need to book most weeknights – walk-ins usually get a table. Weekends can get busy – aim for an early dinner slot before 5:30pm. Parking is free in the Bunda Street car park just 2 minutes away. Entry is free – you only pay for food, games and bowling. **Nearby Take a stroll to the Canberra Centre playground in Canberra City, just a 5-minute walk away. Visit the National Library playground in Parkes for open space and shade after your meal. **Tips From Other Parents Go early on weekends – it gets crowded fast after 11am. Bring a spare change of clothes – the bowling lanes can get a little splashy. The kids’ menu is great, but the smoothies are even better for a quick energy boost.
