Wacky Warehouse Play Cafe is a much-loved indoor play cafe with a triple giant wave slide, playground, ball pit, barista-made coffee and a great kids menu, located in the north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide.

There are times when it’s just too cold or too hot, rainy or too windy for an outdoor playground. So the next best thing for active kids?

A play cafe.

Actually, let me clarify that, my kids probably never think it’s too cold or too hot to play outdoors. It’s sometimes just the parents who find it uncomfortable to sit in those conditions at a playground, for hours.

Yes, it’s a bit loud.

Yes, it gets a bit crazy when it’s a full house.

Do the kids love it? ABSOLUTELY!

Is there coffee? YES!

Wacky Warehouse has always been a favourite for us. I can’t count the number of times we have been there for a play or for birthday parties.

I am personally very familiar with this huge triple wave slide… before my son was brave enough to slide down on his own, I found myself hurtling down with him. Again. And again!

Funnily enough, I think I much prefer, now being able to sit on this side of the fence, sipping a latte.

The first thing you notice when entering the space is how well laid out it is. There are multiple tables and chairs placed in front of the padded playground, making it easy for parents to sit and relax, but also have a clear line of sight on their child. Children have a large indoor playground to explore, a ball pit, and giant multicoloured slides to enjoy. The playground features padding and a net to keep the children safe and for ease of play. There is also a small games section and a ride on merry go round that children can enjoy for an additional cost.

Alongside casual visits, Wacky Warehouse is also a popular venue for children’s parties. They have a variety of birthday packages – visit their website for more info. Private hire of the entire space is also available.

The onsite café has a range of tasty options and indulgent treats. They also offer barista-made coffee and a kid-friendly menu with items such as chicken nuggets, fish and chips and the all-important babyccino.

Overall, Wacky Warehouse is a great option for kids’ catch-ups, as it offers plenty for children in one space and can be enjoyed no matter the weather. It is clean, calm and easier to see your child than many of its counterparts. Even though it isn’t the new kid on the block, it’s an old favourite that can be enjoyed time and again.

Things to Consider:

• Just a tip, it’s often quieter on weekdays and especially in the late afternoons. It’s a great option when your children have a pupil-free day from school.
• Be warned, I’ve seen many children leave this place literally dripping in sweat from running around nonstop for hours, and there could be tears when it’s time to go, as it never seems to be long enough…
• Remember to take along socks too!
• Vegetarian, gluten-free and halal menu items are available
• The front car park does fill quickly, so the next option is to park on the side street or in the nearby Aldi car park
• As a party venue, it’s one of the easiest parties you will organise, and it’s a sure-fire winner with the kids.
