See What's Inside
You Should Be At The Party, Not Running It
A party at home means weeks of planning, a shopping list that keeps growing and a house to put back together afterwards. One wet Saturday can undo all of it. And you spend the day refilling cups instead of watching your child blow out the candles. It is why so many parents start looking at children's party venues in Melbourne.
What Makes The Day Easy
Food Sorted Before You Arrive
Lunch is ready when the children sit down, and nobody has to clear it away.
A Room That Photographs Beautifully
Your own space for cake, singing and presents, inside the centre.
Real Coffee For The Grown-Ups
Our cafe serves barista coffee and proper food, so you get a seat rather than a shift.
Private Party Room
A beautiful private room, perfect for cake, presents, and picture-perfect birthday moments.
Choose How You Celebrate
Three fully hosted packages. Every one includes the play space, the party room and the food.
Imaginationation was designed by some of Australia's best children's museum and spatial designers, then built entirely around children aged 0 to 7. That is what sets it apart from most kids birthday party places, and why the space holds a room full of small children for a full ninety minutes.
Literally the only play centre in Melbourne I enjoy taking my kids to. It's bright and fun, both my kids (aged 5 and 1) absolutely love it, it's not yuck and dirty, it's not old and tired, it's next door to the food section at Chaddy so I can grab a coffee and a bite while they play.

A fantastic, well thought out play centre for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. I am now a regular patron of this wonderful place. You will find me here during the weekdays with my 21 month old daughter and on weekends with my 4 yo son.

What an incredible play center! So much space, clean, interactive, beautifully presented. There are so many different spaces for kids of all ages to enjoy. My 22 month old absolutely loved it, perfect for her to run and explore with plenty to do.

Great location and a fantastic interior design for kids. Both of my girls loved it. It's more suited for children under 5, but the Wednesday art session was amazing, so my 5-year-old absolutely had plenty to explore during the two-hour session.
