Hit a hole-in-one at GlowGolf

You might enjoy a game of golf on Sundays here or there, but there’s nothing like a glow-in-the-dark mini golf course to excite the kids and incite a little friendly family competition.

Get lost in Simulator World

Regardless of your age, is there anything cooler than race cars? Experience the best in motion simulator racing at Simulator World!

Have tonnes of fun at TunzaFun

Remember gaming arcades? They were a popular part of many Australian childhoods until gaming technology entered the household – and even well after. Now you can take a step back in time with dozens of bright machines in all shapes and sizes blinking and beeping at you like the good old days, while at the same time introducing your kids to the arcade playground at TunzaFun. You can even challenge your little rascals at the games you grew up playing. Let the gaming arcade environment thrill your kids and fill you with nostalgia as you collect as many tickets as you can to take home exciting prizes.
