KidsTown - Adventure Playground — Attraction in Mooroopna

KidsTown is a wonderful rural playground and a must visit if in the area with children in tow.

It's got two long slides (and several shorter ones), a dairy themed maze, a cubed climbing section, a sandpit, enclosed toddler area, swings and spinny things, BBQs, picnic tables, a cafe and beautiful grassed areas ideal for picnics. Best of all, at the rear, is a children's garden called Sprout full of native plants and bush tucker, which hosts children's activities. During our school holiday visit my daughter participated in hand painting and some muddy play.

There are also Shepparton's 'udderly' wonderful Mooving Art cows in residence, for my fellow enthusiasts.

At the moment the miniature train is not running. A pity, because that would only add to the playgrounds appeal. Hopefully they find the funds to get it back up and running soon.

And, speaking of funds, we arrive at the only issue here. A lot of the equipment is a bit tired, run down and in need of renovation. So, though you can definitely visit without paying a cent should you so wish, make the requested gold coin donation (or more, if you can afford it). It's such a wonderful spot for kids it's money well spent to help KidsTown expand and thrive.

Overall we loved our visit and will absolutely...

Good fun. Be better being there with train going and shop open. A sensory/ adult disability area would be great, for adult and pre adult ages. Trampoline in the ground, more adult swings. Benches and seating in teenage area and around. Bike, skates, skateboard, walking trail. Maybe info on fauna and flora and wildlife. Maybe huge chess or checkers board games on the ground with hiring the pieces or groups of ppl/schools etc could be the pieces and play that way. Hopscotch, O and X game, snakes and ladder etc painted or tiled into the ground and again hire the pieces or use ppl. Ppl could hire the areas out for parties to make $$ to maintain the place along with a gold coin donation entry fee...

For the price of a gold-coin donation, this is s fantastic playground that has something for kids of all ages, including big kids... Two, little mazes, great monkey bar section, a long flying fox, lots of diggers in the sand pit, some great slides and playground equipment for younger kids. A beach volleyball court and a round swing. Great facts and figures about all things bovine. The cafe is pretty standard - $5.00 for a plain meat pie. The miniature railway is fun. You can spend a deceptively long time here, it's that fun. Popular for birthday parties and plenty of...
