Check out these free indoor play areas perfect for kids when it's too hot or too wet outside. These are great spots, many of which are in our local shopping centres, to meet with friends, with coffee available nearby too. Please note some of these play areas may have age or height restrictions
Picking the best play park near you for your kids can seem like a daunting task. Before you start to search, consider the location and size of the area.
You want to be sure that it’s close enough to visit often but not so small that there isn’t enough space for all activities. If possible, choose parks with lots of shade from trees and a creek or water feature for those hot summer days. That's why we have put together this guide!
Of course, having plenty of play equipment is also important - swings, slides and monkey bars are classics that all kids love - but adding additional items such as sandpits or even outdoor art projects adds extra levels of fun! Importantly they are indoor play spaces, and some outdoor play areas too!
With these considerations in mind, see all the indoor play areas and best play parks below!
