A thoughtfully designed indoor play space, created with the wellbeing of parents and the joy of little ones in mind. Our indoor play space offers a calm, welcoming environment where families with babies and toddlers can play, connect, and explore together.

Bear and Cub Indoor Play Centre

At Bear and Cub Play Centre in Bendigo, Victoria, we’ve created a space where parents and young children can relax, connect, and enjoy meaningful time together, rain, hail, or shine.

Designed with both children and parents in mind, our calm and welcoming environment encourages imagination, movement, and connection. Inside, you’ll find a creative play space, open areas with active equipment and push toys, and a dedicated baby and pre-walker section for safe, age-appropriate play.

We know how important it is for parents to feel comfortable too. That’s why our space includes cosy seating, a relaxed atmosphere, and a dedicated eating area where families can enjoy their own snacks and drinks. When the sun’s out, our outdoor play space *coming soon* is perfect for a bit of fresh air and sunshine.

Bear and Cub is more than just a play centre, it’s a community hub. We offer flexible visit options including casual entry, ten-play passes, and monthly memberships for unlimited play. We also host private birthday party bookings, giving families exclusive use of the venue for special celebrations.

Bear and Cub is a place where little ones can explore freely while parents take a breath, connect with others, and create lasting memories together.
