MiniBOUNCE, Carindale

MiniBOUNCE Carindale was one of the first places I took my son when he learned to walk, and it’s become a favourite spot for us! Located within the Carindale shopping centre, it offers the convenience of ticking off some life admin along the way, thanks to its proximity to Target, Coles, and more. As a long-time Carindale local, I can’t believe I didn’t discover this hidden gem until after becoming a parent!

I particularly love visiting MiniBOUNCE in the late afternoons when the energy feels calmer. Just a word of caution: if it’s a rainy day, expect it to be packed! Another great feature is the direct-to-door parking, perfect for those days when you’re making a special trip just for MiniBOUNCE. I’ll admit, it took me a while to navigate the car park, and the winding ramp might make you feel a bit queasy, but that’s all part of the adventure! I’ve included a map in my images to help you find your way.

It’s also worth mentioning that they offer a 2-hour "Drop & Shop" option if your child is independent enough to be looked after by the staff. I learned that parents typically take advantage of this once their child is toilet trained, but it’s a personal choice, of course. While I think it’s a fantastic idea, I still need to wait a little longer before I can embrace this amazing offering.

I’ll be sad when my days at MiniBOUNCE Carindale come to an end, but thankfully, we have quite a few years left to enjoy this fun experience!
