Those of you with toddlers know that it's not always easy to keep them entertained. Certainly there's nothing worse than a bored, over-energetic toddler, oh no. These little creatures are constantly exploring and learning and need to be stimulated for both development and parents' sanity.
A girlfriend of mine had her daughter's first birthday party at the Corner Cubbyhouse in Five Dock. Unfortunately we were overseas and couldn't attend, but were keen to check it out. We headed there with a friend and her little girl yesterday for a play and a catch up.
Corner Cubbyhouse is the PERFECT place for a busy toddler. It costs around $7.00 for kids and $5.00 for adults, but that price includes a coffee that you can enjoy in relative peace while your little ones play.
There's a special area for 0-3's and another for 3-12 year olds that includes climbing equipment and a MASSIVE slide that I may have tested out (Peter Pan syndrome). The 0-3 area is basically a large fenced in space chock full of soft play equipment, so you can let your child roam free without fearing that they'll get hurt, even if they decide to take a tumble head first down the slide, as mine is inclined to do. We also put the girls on the jumping castle as it was fairly quiet and there were no bigger kids dominating it, and it was pretty cute!
There are plenty of high chairs which makes feeding time easier, and a baby kitchen with a microwave for heating bottles and meals. There's also a baby change room and a cafe with your basic meals like hot chips for bigger kids (and parents!).
Personally I wouldn't take a pre-crawler there, or a baby lacking confidence in general movement, as the kids do go a bit crazy and I've heard it can get pretty packed at times. In general I would say it is better for 1-3 year olds but I've met some younger babies who can really hold their own, so I think it would be at the parents' discretion.
