Image @MelbournewithKidz Last week we sent Christina and her beautiful family for a sneak peek into Funtopia Carrum Downs just before it opens on October 10.  Image @the_stingy_mama Funtopia in Carrum Downs is an amazing indoor adventure park for children of all ages. The first thing that you’ll notice is this place is HUGE! So much to do and you could very easily spend the entire day here which makes it great value for money.  Image @MelbournewithKidz Secondly, there is an awesome cafe called Mr Spriggins onsite with high quality food and more importantly excellent coffee! Thirdly, from toddlers to pre-teens, there is something for everyone to enjoy.  Image @MelbournewithKidz This isn’t a regular play centre. Yes it caters for all ages but what sets it apart from the others is the staff engagement with everyone. Staff are actually in the play areas with the kids supervising and helping them. This means that the parents can relax and actually drink their coffee and eat their food while it’s hot!  Image @MelbournewithKidz From a practical point of view there is heaps of onsite parking, there are high chairs available, baby change facilities and an area to store shoes. It is absolutely worth a visit to Funtopia. We will be back! Thanks to Christina for her guest post! Christina is a mother of 2 children and you can follow her adventures @the_stingy_mama.
