bubble soccer @ eastern indoor sports centre
Bubble Soccer – Eastern Indoor Sports Centre: A sure-fire way to thrill a pack of 9-year-olds and give them an amazing run-around is bubble soccer! At Eastern Indoor Sports Centre, kids don inflatable bubbles (like backpacks) in a variety of sizes and play on a private court for an hour with a dedicated umpire. The game involves bouncing into opponents, scoring goals, and passing to teammates—all while giggling through spills, tumbles, and maybe even flips. It can get warm inside the bubbles, but the kids—and even the supervising adults—have an absolute blast!

crocs
Crocs Knoxfield is a brand-new, out-of-this-world indoor playcentre with a fun space theme and plenty to keep kids busy. The massive hero zone features rocket ladders, tunnel slides, a soft ball area, trampolines, racing slides and a must-try tube slider (bring your muscles to carry the tube upstairs!), plus a speedy yellow moon slide at the other end. Little ones aren’t forgotten either, with a fully fenced toddler zone designed just for under-3s, including cute hidden play features. Mamma loves how big and open the space feels, even when it’s busy, and with a full café menu (hello Muffin Break treats!), it’s an easy win for a long, happy play session.

lakewood nature reserve
Lakewood Nature Reserve is a hidden suburban gem in Knoxfield, perfect for Mamma’s looking to reconnect with Mother Nature. This bushland haven is home to birds, frogs, ducks, and even turtles, making it ideal for wildlife spotting—or even counting frogs on the Melbourne Water Frog Census app. The walking tracks around the lake are less than 4km, mostly flat, and wide enough for prams, so little ones can wander safely while exploring sticks, rocks, and high grass. There are plenty of bench seats and grassy areas to pause, enjoy a snack, or simply soak in the peaceful surroundings. It’s a perfect mix of adventure and calm for both Mamma and the kids.

knox toy library
Joining an organisation like this is such a game-changer for families! Not only does it save money by allowing you to borrow toys instead of buying them, but it also helps reduce waste by keeping those toys out of landfills. Plus, the constant rotation of toys means the kids always have something fresh and exciting to play with—keeping the boredom at bay. It’s also a lifesaver around the holidays, as you can recommend the toys your kids truly loved. And beyond the practical benefits, it’s a fantastic way to build connections with other parents in the community, making those library visits even more meaningful!
