Mamma’s a sucker for anything Australiana-themed and Gumnuts Playland at Westfield Knox in Wantirna South delivers a gorgeous playspace which celebrates Australia’s beautiful fauna and flora.

The space is divided into distinctive zones, each designed to delight and engage Mamma’s little ones. Immediately upon entry, there’s a dedicated toddler zone. One section is set up as a construction zone, full of wooden cubes for digging, weighing and exploring. Immediately adjacent to it is a small world play space complete with cafe, cubby house, garden, kitchen and market. Mamma’s youngest had a delightful time running a very entrepreneurial business selling apples.

Then there’s the jewel in the crown of this playland: the ball pit. Let’s face it, ball pits are addictive and this one packs a punch! Complete with obstacle course, game screen, funnel system and air tubes; the kids will be entertained for ages in this space. The ball pit also includes multiple slide entries back into the pit, making it the perfect space to roam and explore.

If you can drag your little ones away from the ball pit, there is a main climbing structure with fun around every turn. Featuring tunnel slides, climbing ramps, sensory tiles and much more, your kiddos will be captivated as they explore this part of the space.

Rounding out the space are two trampolines, one adjacent to a score wall perfect for shooting balls, a building section with large, lego-like bricks, and ninja-style obstacle course where your kiddos can time themselves on the course - there is fun and adventure around every corner of this space, making it the perfect place to spend a day.

Gumnuts Playland also has an on-site cafe, with drink tickets included with the cost of any supervisors’ admission, and several party rooms, so you’re set for your little one’s next birthday!

So next time you find yourself craving a playspace among the gumtrees, be sure to check out Gumnuts Playland in Knox.
