As it is winter here (LOL), moms in Melbourne flock to indoor playgrounds where they can enjoy a complimentary cappuccino with their admission fee and enjoy the company of other moms while keeping a distant eye on their young. Luckily the structures are built with safety in mind and even toddlers can roam freely with minimal risk of seriously injuring themselves. That is until "those kids" arrive...these kids are trouble and are seriously neglected by their parents who chat on their cell phones while their offspring rough up younger kids. Unfortunately, money talks and the parents are smart enough to frequent the same playground enough times each week, spending loads of cash to be out of their homes with their kids, that the management has no choice but to accept their business despite the number of complaints they get each time the kids enter the building. As a result I am coaching Wyatt to say such things as - "You don't scare me, you are just a boy!" and when that doesn't work we send Zak in as the Wyatt's bodyguard and he has been known to say such things as "Leave these kids alone - and you smell!".
Each indoor playground has a different feel, Play Days is more for floor play and ride-on cars while Kids Space has some amazing climbing gyms and slides that look quite terrifying from the top. The favorite indoor playground thus far is Lollipops which has a carnival style car ride that my kids adore.
