legoland discovery centre
LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, Melbourne is a LEGO-lover’s paradise and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere. With a variety of zones for all ages, kids can enjoy a 4D cinema, small rides, a soft play area, a farm-themed DUPLO zone, underwater displays, an earthquake simulation table, and a wheel-testing zone for their own creations. Mamma’s favourite is Melbourne Miniland, showcasing the city’s iconic landmarks in a dazzling LED day-to-night display. A café serves coffee, sandwiches and LEGO cookies, while the on-site LEGO shop is perfect for picking up sets and souvenirs. It’s a must-visit for any LEGO enthusiast!

holey moley
Holey Moley, Chadstone: Mini golf for the whole family gets a fun upgrade at Holey Moley, where indoor courses mean Melbourne weather won’t spoil the fun. Each venue has its own quirky, themed holes—at Chadstone, Mamma loved the dragon lair guarding gold and Bruce the shark from Jaws breaking through a boat. You can play the front 9, back 9, or both, while enjoying the full menu. Perfect for family fun, parties, or even a date night—kids are welcome during the day, and after 8 pm it’s adults only, complete with a full cocktail bar.

hijinx hotel
Hijinx Hotel, Chadstone: If your crew loves games night, Hijinx Hotel is an absolute must-visit. This brand-new venue turns a series of hotel-style rooms into game zones where teams rack up points by scoring goals, solving puzzles, identifying songs, or tackling giant scrabble cubes—each room gives you 5 minutes to complete the challenge. Kids can join in too (though some patience-testing rooms, like the Rubik’s cube challenge, are tough!). Sessions run through 5 rooms over 30 minutes, guided by a hotel assistant, and after 8 pm on Fridays and Saturdays it’s adults only. Part of the Fun Lab group, Hijinx Hotel delivers big laughs and nonstop fun for families and grown-ups alike.

imaginationation @ chadstone shopping centre
Forget the fashion capital — Chadstone has officially levelled up as a family hotspot with the arrival of Imaginationation, its very own vibrant playcentre for little kids. From the rainbow-clad entrance to the joy-filled interior, this thoughtfully designed space is a feast for the eyes and an instant dopamine hit, created by leading child play designers for children aged 6 months to 7 years. With slides, ball pits, soft play zones and sensory rooms encouraging curiosity through play-based learning, kids are entertained from start to finish, while the wonderfully engaged staff happily jump in to race, slide and play when grown-ups need a breather. Parents are well catered for too thanks to an onsite café serving great food and hot coffee, making this colourful wonderland a win for the whole family — and in Mamma’s book, a must-visit.
