It’s a truth parents know all too well: kids have a lot of energy. So, what’s a mum or dad to do when the rat pack needs to burn off a little steam? Here at Urban List, we have the answer: book a stint at an indoor playground. Fortunately for all the tired parents of Brisbane/Meanjin, our city’s got plenty of ‘em.
Giving them space to run, jump, climb, slide, swing, and play, indoor playgrounds are the perfect way to exhaust the inexhaustible—especially when the weather outside isn’t playing ball.
Below, we’ve rounded up the best indoor playgrounds in Brisbane to keep the kiddies occupied and your sanity intact.
