Top 5 Play Equipment at Kids' Indoor Play Centres


Indoor play centres provide hours of endless entertainment for kids, where they can run around, let off steam and indirectly get fit! The benefits that kids play centres have for children are enormous, from stimulating their imagination, to increasing muscle strength and fitness levels, not to mention all the fun that kids have! Things can be even more fun, especially when the venue you choose is themed.

One of the best things about going to kids indoor play centres 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!

Find out what the Top 5 Play Equipment is at kids' indoor play centres by watching this video. If you want the best of the best, then visit Dizzy's Castle for a kids play centre with a difference!

Mascot Celebrates Birthday at Indoor Play Centre, Melbourne.


On Friday the 20 July, Dizzy's Castle Indoor Play Centre hosted a birthday party for it's mascot, Dizzy the Dragon! Dizzy has been the mascot at the play centre since it opened and she turned 7 human years old on Friday (that's 700 in dragon years)! Dizzy's Castle loves hosting monthly parties for children and families and this time we decided on a free kids meal with normal entry price paid by guests. Kids got to choose from a yummy selection of pasta and dessert and indulge in party games, a birthday disco, free birthday cake and party bags!

At our indoor play centre we get so thrilled when everyone has a good time and especially when we can consistently offer value for money at our venue. For information about kids parties, play group bookings or our kids indoor play centre, then visit us at http://www.dizzyscastle.com.au or phone today on (03) 9318 1110.

How to Throw Original Kids Parties

Throwing original kids parties these days can be tough. There are many different ideas for kids parties on the internet and going to 'another' children's birthday party can sadly often feel like a chore.

Can you remember a time when you went to a child's birthday party that was just plain boring? What was it that turned you off? Was it the tired old streamers and balloons hanging on the wall? Or was it because only half the people turned up in costume? Were the guests rude or the kids really noisy or was there just that uncomfortable silence that seems to go on forever? What did the food taste like? Was it healthy and delicious or full of sugar and carbohydrates? Did you walk away feeling like that was three hours of torture?

Like most parents, I bet you want your guests to have a good time and not feel that way. And I am sure too that you want your party to be one that your guests will not cringe when they remember. Well, it is time to put your worries aside and be confident in knowing that you can throw kids parties that your children and guests will never want to forget!

At Dizzy's Castle Indoor Play Centre we have a huge choice of themed kids parties from you to choose from that will give your party that original twist and take the worries of the big day out of your hands.

Rest assured that you will create a children's birthday party that your guests will rave on about for months! Picture walking into a HUGE medieval themed castle, where inside you will be greeted by friendly staff and shown to your very own party room. Imagine dressing up as a pirate and celebrating your kids party in a pirate room, complete with pirate ship and skull and cross bones. Or, hosting a spooky party in a witches and wizards lair where goblins and witches fly around on brooms! What about enjoying a kids' karaoke party in a disco diva room with mirror ball, dancing stage and microphones? Picture your child and his or her friends wearing fairy wings and celebrating the day in an enchanted forest party room. Or, if you want something a little more refined, then have your guests dress up like kings and queens, princes and princesses and honour the day in our royal room!

Any one of these rooms could be yours and after the staff delivers the party food that you can choose, from a wide range of yummy, healthy treats and once the cake is cut, the kids can run around the whole play centre for the rest of the day. They can burn off energy and steam sliding down our 7 slides and obstacle course. They can jump wildly on our safety trampolines or play a game of glow in the dark mini golf! The toddlers can enjoy our toddler area, with ball pit, toys and magic jumping castle, whilst the adults enjoy a coffee in the party room or our gourmet cafe area.

Dizzy's Castle has themed kids parties ranging from big, explosive affairs with one of our junior chef cooking parties or spells and potions parties, to a more tame day with our intimate cafe party. If you are sick and tired of attending kids parties that as soon as you turn up, you want to go home, then you have found the right place at Dizzy's Castle Indoor Play Centre. Our party packs will delight and surprise both you and your guests. Be the talk of the town and host your next children's birthday party at Dizzy's Castle.

Phone us today on (03) 9318 1110 or visit http://www.dizzyscastle.com.au for party packs and more info.
