Have you heard of Doodlebugs at Miami? The Gold Coast’s oldest indoor play centre has new owners who are ready to breathe new life into this much loved play centre, while ensuring the great community vibe remains.
While Doodlebugs isn’t up there with the biggest and flashiest of playcentres, what makes it popular and one of my favourites, is the low prices and the best supervision sight lines. Kids 1- 5 are just $11, and kids 6 and over are only $12! Here you can easily sit back and have your coffee and catch up with the mum’s group while the kids play – because you can see the whole centre from your table! No worrying about how far they’ve gone or what mishaps could happen. There’s a huge main play area with air shooters, a 3 and under play zone for the littlest ones with a little trampoline, a fun car track to race around, and the while the old train is no longer operating, kids can still jump on board for plenty of imaginative play.
Super popular as a great value party destination, Doodlebugs is always busy on a Saturday, but visit during the week and you’ll enjoy a calmer atmosphere perfect for the younger ones to happily explore. Hungry? Take a break in the garden and choose from a huge menu full of kid-friendly fresh and exciting meals to enjoy during your visit.
