New indoor play centre to open

A new soft play café is set to open early next year at the site of a former supermarket by one of Moreton Bay's busiest roads.

Area 51, which has “Australia’s largest indoor family entertainment centre” on Brisbane's southside, is opening in Redcliffe.

It will be at 82-98 Anzac Ave, replacing the IGA supermarket which closed several months ago.

Michael Affleck, Operations Manager for Area 51, said plans are to launch the new Redcliffe venue in February.

He said it will “offer the community a great hub to get together, have a coffee and let the kids have fun”.

“One of the biggest points for us is to provide more families with indoor play centres which children can be energetic, engaged and have an opportunity to meet like-minded people.”

The 1000sqm Redcliffe site will differ from Area 51’s Underwood venue, as it is smaller than the 8000sqm Kingston Rd centre.

Area 51 won a Best of Queensland Experience Award 2024 and is also building a new indoor entertainment centre at Bundamba in Ipswich.

Attractions at Underwood include climbing walls, a trampoline park, high ropes course, air coaster, ninja park, multi-storey Gizmo’s Galaxy playground, giant inflatables, Galacticity for under 4s, Astrotots fun park for under 2s, Carnival Mega Slides and a multi-purpose sports Court.
