Monkey Mania - Eastland Shopping Centre Ringwood - Melbourne - Review

Indoor playgrounds are always a great option for rainy or warm days. Kate and her little ones checked out Monkey Mania in Eastland last week and had a great morning running around and playing. Thanks for the review Kate. To checkout Kate’s adventures, head to her Instagram page. xo Catherine

Located inside Myer Eastland on Level 3, Monkey Mania is a super fun play centre that is sure to keep little people happy and entertained for hours.

The spacious indoor place space has a large multi-level soft play structure with several slides, Imagination Playground’s big blue foam blocks, plenty of things to climb and an awesome ball arena. Children will love firing balls from the cannons and activating the central cannon to launch multiple balls up into the sky.

But the fun doesn’t end there! Monkey Mania also has an inflatable jumping castle, three kinetic sand tables, miniature electric train, brick house to build (and smash down), themed party zones and a fenced off toddler area for little ones aged three and under.

The poppets spent the entire two hours of our visit running around, happily playing and exploring and with the added benefit of a cafe on site (adult entry price includes a coffee, tea, soft drink can or bottle of water), convenient, free parking (for up to three hours) and air conditioning/heating, Monkey Mania really does have it all.
