Messy fun Love creative play but dislike the clean up? A new space has opened up on the Central Coast that encourages little ones to create, paint, splash and play. Messy Little Munchkins opened its brand-new headquarters at Niagara Park in December, and is inviting tots aged four months to five years to experience tons of sensory fun. Kids are encouraged to move between stations of craft, play dough, paint and messy play. They can sit in a tub of paint, ‘bake’ cakes, splash in the water zone and enjoy playing with sensory stations featuring corn, dried peas, broccoli florets and vermicelli! Messy Little Munchkins run term-long classes for under-fives, school-holiday workshops for primary-school children, and host kids’ parties, too. Messy Little Munchkins Messy HQ, Shop 25, 16 Washington Ave, Niagara Park; messylittlemunchkins.com.au Mini Munchkins casual passes $14. Bookings: 0432 800 070 or email info@messylittlemunchkins.com.au.
A-MAZE-ing Shh, we’ll let you in on a local secret! There’s a fabulous and lesser-known animal attraction In Wyong Creek that offers oldschool family fun to kids of all ages! Amazement Farm & Fun Park has been on the Central Coast for 13 years and with new owners taking over in 2020, it’s now bigger and better than ever. In addition to its three hedge mazes, large outdoor games arenas, and playground, you’ll now find a new Ferris wheel and bright blue train that chugs excitable children around the property. Amazement Farm also introduced a heap of new critters these past 12 months, so it now has more than 50 species on display. Meet Revenge, the saltwater crocodile; Cadbury, the miniature donkey; Spike, the central bearded dragon; Rex, the cassowary; and a red deer fawn named Dasher. Families are invited to pet many of the animals and to help bottle-feed the newly arrived babies. 170 Yarramalong Rd, Wyong Creek. Bookings: amazement.com.au
