This is possibly the West's best kept indoor play secret. If it's too chilly for outdoor play then trust Mamma - this is an excellent option.

There are comfy chairs for you to plonk on and plenty of parents to chat to as your kiddo has some seriously cool pretend play fun. Fly in a helicopter to rescue large plush 'life like' animals, dress up as a vet or ranger, take the animals into the 'field hospital' and give them medicine, bandages or a cuddle. There is plenty for little ones and bigger ones here and Mamma particularly loves the parents room complete with bottle warmer and comfy feeding couches.

Don't forget to spot the real life tortoises and lizards, play shadow puppets or learn about your favourite animals diet!

Mamma's special mentions: Seriously, if you haven't uncovered Ranger Kids yet. Get yourself a zoo membership as you will be back time and again and it's FREE as part of your membership. Oh and don't forget YOU ARE AT THE WERRIBEE OPEN RANGE ZOO! So if the weather permits, go on a safari or a walking tour of the animals.
