  • 5/5 from Roslyn Peters, attended Apr 2024: Great venue. Messy play themes were excellent. My 1yo loved the cereal diggers and the bluey beach pasta-ravaganza. Excellent value for money. The teacher was encouraging but also gave the kids lots of space to play. Loved it.
  • 5/5 from Crystal Goodacre, attended Mar 2024: The messy play session was just fantastic, a great value activity. The kids were able to play, discover, and innovate with a great range of activities, materials and tools, with few rules or limitations, and no expectations. My kids are 5, 7, and 9. All of them enjoyed the activites in different ways. -5yo enjoyed the activities as a big messy free play, lots of role play. -7yo loved the creative and artistic aspects and freedom to create. -9yo applied a scientific approach to the activities- "what happens if I mix these?", "what is this made from". He also liked getting "jobs" to help the host. Prepare yourself for lots of fun, messy kids, and potential staining. Bring a drink bottle too :)
