Walking intoLanding Playcentre in Ravenhall feels like stepping into a futuristic play world. Bright colours, space-themed decor, and the biggest ball pit my kids have ever seen sets the scene for an exciting day out.
We spend almost three hours exploring and enjoying all of the different play zones. It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time because there is so much to do.
Landing Play Zones and Activities
Landing Play Centre is cleverly designed with different zones to suit every age group:
- Baby Zone (Under 2s) – soft mats, gentle play structures, and age-appropriate toys.
- Toddler Zone (Under 5s) – mini slides, climbing equipment, and sensory play perfect for curious little ones.
- Main Zone (5–11 years) – huge slides, climbing towers, and obstacle courses that keep the big kids moving.
I’m amazed at how much variety there is here—my kids could easily spend the whole day just rotating between the slides, the ball pit, and the pretend play zones.

My kids’ top picks
My kids (at age 3 and 5) love role-playing, so the mini supermarket is an easy win. They fill up their little trolleys with pretend groceries, play shopkeeper, and giggle through checkout. There’s also a BBQ play corner, an animal rescue station, and even a beauty and dress-up area, which is a big hit with kids who like creative play.
And then there’s the ball pits—a sea of colourful plastic balls that stretches further than any we’ve seen before. Bubba D and I happily splash about in it while Little E runs laps up and down the giant slides. She insists I join her at first, then proudly announces she’s ready to do it herself, climbing up again and again until she’s mastered the circuit.
Café and Facilities
Parents aren’t forgotten here. The onsite café serves proper coffee and a solid menu of snacks, kids’ meals, and hot food for adults. It’s a relief not having to pack food, though it’s good to note that outside food and drinks aren’t allowed (with the exception of birthday cakes for booked parties).
Knowing I don’t have to pack food makes the morning rush so much easier. We just show up, play, and grab something from the café when everyone’s hungry.
There are plenty of tables around the café area, so it’s easy to grab a break while still keeping an eye on the kids.
Bathrooms, high chairs, and baby change facilities are all on site, making the visit easier for families with little ones.
While some of the toys in the play zones seem a bit worn, we notice staff members cleaning and tidying up often.
Parties and Events
If you’re looking for a birthday party venue, Landing Playcentre ticks that box too. There are themed party rooms—space, jungle, fairy, and even a pamper spa room for mini makeovers. Packages include catering, decorations, and a party host, so parents don’t have to do the heavy lifting.
