When it comes to playcentres in Brisbane there is no shortage of options, but if you want a truly out of this world experience for kids of all ages, you must check out Area 51 Brisbane. With locations across the city, Area 51 Brisbane offers interactive features, soft play and a little kids zone that is the ideal weekday or weekend energy burn. We checked out Area 51 Brisbane so we could give every Brisbane parent the run down, here is what we found.
Area 51 Brisbane Play Areas
One of the key features that sets Area 51 Brisbane apart from other playcentres in Brisbane is the amount of areas or zones there are for the kids to experience. Like most playcenters, there is an incredible maze-like soft play adventure system for the kids to explore. With batons to barge through, rolling foam to roll over and more slides than a waterpark to race down, this alone would be enough for the kids.
What sets Area 51 Brisbane apart is the additional play area or zones that almost certainly mean you wouldn’t feel as crowded as other more traditional Brisbane playcenters. Adding to the soft play playground, there is a dedicated zone with multiple built-in trampolines with two screens with interactive games that the kids can bounce along too.
If interactive games are what your kids love then you’ll also love the light-up dancefloor feature at Area 51 Brisbane. This huge dancefloor is not just a game but a workout for the kids (and adults) who jump on. With a large screen that selects games at random and shows how many lives the players have left, the dancefloor then lights up with squares to chase, jump on and avoid. If you have an energetic toddler or a hyperactive big kid, the dancefloor game is a must do and will make bed time a lot easier that night.
Next we have to mention the slides, with so many to choose from there won’t be any arguments between kids or long waits. We couldn’t choose between our favourites with two taking the cake. The first slide is an enormous vortex-like slide with fluro lighting and a very necessary crash pad at the bottom. Spoiler alert, if you’re a parent who likes slides like us, it is very fast and addictive. The second slide you’ll want to watch out for is the four-way racer within the soft play playground which is again lit up with fluro lighting and is giving “rainbow road” from Mario Kart. Jump on and race the kids down to see who will be crowned champion.



Food and Drink
The cafe at Area 51 Brisbane is another great feature that helps set this playcentre apart and really helps make any stay much more enjoyable for the whole family. Whether you need a caffeine fix with a hot or cold coffee, or the kids want an ice cold slushee, the cafe has you covered.
As well as having a great array of drinks, the cafe at Area 51 Brisbane also has a wide selection of hot and cold food. From chicken nuggets to sandwiches, the menu is sure to cater for all kids and adults alike. The ample seating also means finding a table won’t be difficult either, meaning you can place your food or drink order then relax at your table as you wait for the buzzer to go off for collection.
Area 51 Brisbane Kids Parties
Area 51 Brisbane has multiple party rooms which can be hired and used for your child’s next birthday party. With the abundance of play areas, activities and games it is a birthday party where you won’t need to lift a finger to entertain the army of kids either.
Area 51 Brisbane offers a range of party packages that include set times, food, drinks and an Area 51 party host to help make sure everyone has an amazing time. With a range of pricing options to choose from there is sure to be a party option that suits your family.

Adults Relaxation Time
If just thinking about running around a playcentre or squeezing down a slide is enough to put your back out, then don’t panic because Area 51 Brisbane has parents covered too. Area 51 Brisbane has a set of massage chairs that can be used by parents to help them relax and unwind for a small charge.
While the kids play and burn off all that excess energy, you can simply tap your card and let the massage chair fix those knots and strains. Name a more perfect combination that kids being entertained and parents getting a massage, we couldn’t think of any.
Whether you’re looking for a school holiday activity, chasing the perfect birthday party location or looking to fill the day with the kids with an exciting outing, Area 51 Brisbane is one of the best options we’ve found. From the multiple play areas to the extensive cafe offering Area 51 Brisbane is a must-try playcentre for the whole family.
