Eating Out - Kid Friendly
Reporter: SARA GROEN
School holidays are approaching and the kids are getting itchy!
We’ve found two great spots where they can run around, play games and let off some steam PLUS the whole family can dig into a tasty lunch at the same time.
Little Dynamo’s

There are 3 safe soft play areas for babies and toddlers.
Children are safe and secure with wristband security entry/exit system.
While the ‘Little Dynamos’ are enjoying the activities, parents can relax or catch up with friends in the spacious and comfortable 120 seat café.
The café features a delicious fresh and healthy menu - salads, wraps, sandwiches, soups, pasta and daily specials all freshly prepared on the premises using only the best of ingredients.
