Bella’s Wonderland

Overview Bella's Wonderland is a multi-level indoor play centre located in Southport on the Gold Coast. The facility is designed with a focus on imaginative and active play, featuring numerous distinct zones spread across its floors. The centre includes large play structures with obstacles, slides, and ball pits, alongside areas dedicated to role-playing activities.

The themed sections include a dress-up boutique with costumes, a mock kitchen and organic market area with wooden food and trolleys, a LEGO room, and a library. For younger children, there are specific softer play zones. The centre also contains a large sandpit filled with small, smooth wooden blocks instead of traditional sand. An on-site café is available, and the venue organises and hosts children's birthday parties with various packages.

Community Sentiment (The "Vibe")

What parents like: The variety of activities catering to different interests, the detailed and high-quality design of the play spaces, and the unique imaginative play areas. The quality of the food at the on-site cafe is also noted.

What to watch out for: The venue can become very crowded and loud, particularly on the ground floor and during peak times. Seating for adults is limited. The small wooden blocks in the sandpit may require close supervision for children under three. Prams must be left in a designated area as there is limited space inside.
