Save Money on Kids Parties

Kids parties can be not only messy events, but expensive! By the time you have bought all the party supplies, including food, decorations and gifts, set up the house, arranged activities to keep the kids occupied, cooked food, served food, entertained the guests, then no sooner is it time to say goodbye and spend hours cleaning up the mess! Where's the fun in that?

Well, no longer do you need to worry as there is a very fun solution. Hosting your child's birthday party at an indoor play centre is an excellent way to save money on kids parties. Dizzy's Castle Indoor Play Centre has a range of fantasy themed party packages to suit all ages. One of the most economical solutions that Dizzy's Castle offers is a kids' cafe party. You can book a table in our play centre's cafe area for only $20. The table is all set up with party plates, napkins and cups and all you need to do is order food and drink separately. This is a great option if you are looking for something simple, but want to make sure that you have a designated spot for your kids to eat and rest. Adults can order larger food platters like antipasto and dips and kick back and relax whilst the kids run around and have fun.

Check out our video with full details about our cafe party or jump onto our website at Dizzy's Castle Indoor Play Centre and speak to one of our friendly crew about bookings for kids parties. Alternatively,  call us today on (03) 9318 1110.

Fairy Party: Ideas for Kids Parties at an Indoor Play Centre

There are so many wonderful ideas for kids parties at an indoor play centre, however a fairy party would have to be one of the most beautiful kids parties you can have. 

Fairy costumes are easy to make. All you need is some fairy wings, which you can purchase from a discount shop for a small amount of money, a ballerina's tutu, glitter and perhaps a wand! Hosting your kids party at an indoor play centre is a smart option as other than the colourful invitations you will need to send out and organising your child's costume, the rest is taken care of by the venue.

Dizzy's Castle Indoor Play Centre has a special themed party room where lots of little fairies dress up, fly around, eat party food from their healthy and yummy kids menu and then run around and play all day on their play centre equipment. Check out some of the pictures below for inspiration. 

Call now on (03) 9318 1110 or visit Dizzy's Castle for bookings and events.

Why Children's Play Groups Are Essential for the Wellbeing of Both Parents & Children

Children's Play Groups offer a huge number of benefits for families and the wider community. In fact, at Dizzy's Castle kids indoor play centre we believe they are essential for the wellbeing of both parents and children. A recent article in the Melbourne Leader reported that the Yarra Council is expected to more than triple its annual playgroup funding. Council research has estimated that the number of Yarra Children aged four and under is anticipated to increase by 5% over the next five years, hence the need to invest now in more play groups for parents and children.

Raising young children can be a very vulnerable time for a mother's life when she is isolated with young kids. Children's Play Groups offer support for parents, giving them the chance to make new friends, along with providing both social and informal networking opportunities.

Dizzy's Castle has set up a new play groups program at our kids indoor play centre in Maribyrnong Victoria. Both parents and children can reap massive benefits. For kids, they can make new friends, explore, discover and stimulate the senses, along with developing fine and gross motor skills. Play Centres are a really fun way for kids to get fit, whilst at the same time help them develop emotional, social and communication skills. Just as kids can reach out and build self confidence in a safe and secure environment, so too can parents, who can seek advice or a listening ear from other mothers and fathers. Importantly, kids indoor play centres are a wonderful place to just relax and spend quality time with your kids.

Top 5 Play Equipment At Kids Indoor Play Centres

Play centres provide hours of endless entertainment for kids, where they can run around, let off steam and indirectly get fit! Play centres stimulate children's imagination, especially when the venue you choose is themed. One of the best things about going to an indoor kids play centre is all the different equipment they have. If you are looking for a fun day out, then make sure the kids indoor play centre you choose has the top 5 play equipment inside!

1. Jumping Castle
There are heaps of themed jumping castles on the market and what makes them so attractive and fun has to be the fact that you get to bounce around non stop (and safely) on a big large cushion like castle! At Dizzy's Castle, our toddler zone includes a giant inflatable magic castle. This area is fully padded and fenced off to provide a safe and secure area for your little ones aged up to 4 years.

Jumping Castle for kids

2. Slides
There are big slides and small slides. Let's face it, we all like a thrill, whether you are a big kid or a little kid, so ultimately, what you want is the biggest slide you can find so your kids can whoosh their way down!

Dizzys Castle has 7 large slides for kids

3. Ball Pit
Ball pits are fun for children and especially great for kids parties. They are usually rectangular and padded and are filled with tons of small, hollow colourful plastic balls. Ball pits are great for general recreational fun and exercise for small children. You can throw them around, slip and slide amongst them and just generally be silly!

4. Safety Trampolines
Trampolining is great for strength, fitness, coordination and is lots of fun. Safety trampolines are great for the little one as there are no hard springs to impact or fall through and being fully netted means you can't fall out as long as you zip them shut. These trampolines take the stress out of supervising your kids. So all Mum or Dad have to do is watch and all the kids have to do is JUMP, JUMP & JUMP!

5. Mini Golf
Mini Golf is a really relaxing and fun way to spend the afternoon. Many kids play centres have this option as part of their facilities and at Dizzy's Castle you can open your mind to a whole new sensory experience and try your hand at our 9 hold, Glow in the Dark Mini Golf. This is truly an amazing experience. Everywhere you turn, fantastic creatures big and small, glow in the dark from every wall. Let your imagination run riot and sink a few holes...

Glow in the dark mini golf

Dizzy's Castle is one of Australia's premiere kids indoor play centres, incorporating 1300m2 of fun and fantasy.
