Slides Playcentre & Cafe Knox

"We went there for celebrating a friend's birthday, a bit creatively! Although a little bit far from the Melbourne CBD it is still worth it especially if you're going there for the bubble soccer. They do have archery and not just humongous slides. Staff were friendly and helpful!"

"We were SO happy with the party and everything ran so smoothly. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The party host Z was awesome too. I was so happy to hand the reigns over and actually sit back and enjoy the kids having a great time. It was the most stress free party I've ever had, and I've had a lot over the years!! Thankyou for great communication and service throughout the whole process. We had the disco room party and I honestly was a bit worried that a Playcentre for my 10 year olds party would be frowned upon, but all the kids raved about it before AND afterwards!! Most importantly my daughter had the best time!! Thankyou! I'll Definitely be telling my friends about it."

"This play centre is a little run down, dark and gloomy but it makes up for it with the play equipment it has to offer and the customer service. We went for a birthday party and I can honestly say it's the most fun my kids have had. The party rooms are not enclosed, just a small wall separating each party but the kids don't care. They also have the sports area where the kids played footy (they have many sports on offer) for an hour with one of the staff members doing drills and playing a match. If you want an affordable place for a party, I would definitely recommend booking here. The customer service was 5 stars! They kept coming over asking if we needed anything and making sure we were all looked after. Great experience, we will be back again."

"The maintenance and cleaning here is way below average. Tops of slides have many months of dust on them. Clearly haven't been cleaned for a long time. I realize these surfaces aren't super easy to clean but it's not that difficult. There's no excuse for the thick layer of grime. Cafe menu was sticky. Carpet covered with stains. Massive cobwebs everywhere. There are extension cords lying on the ground behind a broken net that kids can crawl under. In another area there's a sign saying no entry with another broken net the only thing preventing kids (who can't read) from entering. God knows what is under the tarp in this area. Party "rooms" are not rooms but cubicles, squashed together at the back of the building. Neither my wife or I thought the equipment was safe either. More than a dozen (maybe as many as two dozen) metal bars are exposed where the padding has worn off. The entire structure was wobbling with the weight of only six people on it. Toddler area is small with few options to play. Jumping castles are good, but there should be more stuff on the floor to play with. Looking at other reviews, it seems they used to have cars but they removed them because they were all damaged beyond repair... which doesn't surprise me. Child safety gate in the toddler area doesn't work. We saw two kids open it by rattling the gate. Staff said this happens all the time. Slides are great. Staff are friendlier than average. Overall, there are lots of other better choices around. Not sure if we're gonna come back. Probably not."

"The structure of the equipment has so much potential but the cleanliness, is pretty disgraceful. The place needs such a deep clean and the outside of the tunnel slides and especially the viewing ball is disgusting. There must be some sort health standards to uphold right?"
