NewHope PlaySpace, Blackburn North: NewHope PlaySpace is a toddler paradise with a large, open room filled with soft play, cars, ramps, dress-ups, balls, LEGO, a construction corner, stepping stones, and plenty more. Little ones can practice balancing, zoom cars down ramps, or get mesmerised by the bubbles, keeping them entertained for hours. Middle Ground Cafe sits just outside with a window into the play area, serving tasty treats like granola and focaccia. Music sessions are held every Tuesday and Friday at 10:30 am—Friday sessions led by a Registered Music Therapist—where caregivers and toddlers can sing, move, and play together. Entry is $7 per child (12 months–5 years) or a maximum of $12 per family, with babies under 12 months free.
