1. Visit one of our free play areas

Our imaginative play spaces for kids aged up to 10 have slides, climbing structures and interactive games to keep kids entertained. Find our Under the Sea playground near the Food Court.

Ideal for younger children aged under 6, our indoor playground located in front of Big W is all about climbing and exploring within a safe environment. Kids can take a drive in the big red car or enjoy interactive games along the walls. Conveniently located next to Caffe Cherry Beans so you can grab a coffee and sit back and relax while watching the kids play. All children are welcome, entry is free, children must be always supervised.

2. Watch the latest kids’ movie at Event Cinemas

Create a core memory for your little ones with a side of popcorn or ice-cream and watch a movie on the big screen. Check out the latest movie releases here.

3. Dine at one of our child friendly restaurants

We have many places with food your kids will love in the food court or in our dining precinct. If chicken nuggets and chips are your child’s go-to then head to Schnitz and McDonald's or if they like a sandwich, try Melt Brothers or grab a freshly rolled sushi from Sushi Hub and oi Sushi. There is something to satisfy everyone’s tastebuds. Plus, there are some great meal deals and offers for kids at:

• Melt Brothers: New monthly special
• San Churro: Exclusive rewards for el SOCIAL members
• Shingle Inn: New In...Tasty Toasties!

4. Indulge in a sweet treat

There’s nothing like ending a shopping trip with a special treat. Whether it’s an ice-cream from San Churro or a delicious donut from Donut King and Brooklyn Donut & Coffee Co. and it might make the trip back to the car and home much easier for all involved.

5. Attend an upcoming kids’ event

We have lots of events for kids at Westfield North Lakes, all year round. To stay in the loop with all upcoming events, sign up to become a Westfield member here and check our ‘What’s happening’ page here.

6. Play games at Planet Arcades

We have so many activities all in the one place – simulation games, whack-a-mole, ice hockey, car racing and more. They’ll love running around with their siblings, friends (and you!) while collecting points to win a prize at the end of the play. Planet Arcades is also the perfect place to host an upcoming birthday party – make sure to ask the team when you’re there for more information.

7. Stock up on craft supplies

Looking for ways to keep the kids busy when you’re at home? Grab all the craft supplies you could ever need from Smiggle, Target, Kmart and Big W. From paints and colouring in books to paddle pop sticks and sticky tape, you’ll find an array of art and craft supplies to help your kids’ imagination run wild and get creative.

8. Get ingredients for a homemade feast

Is your little one a fan of baking or cooking? Perhaps cookies, smoothie ice blocks or a homemade mini pizza? Head to North Lakes Quality Meats, Woolworths, Coles, ALDI and Hanaromart Asian Grocery and stock up on what you need to have a fun activity at home. Don’t forget to search recipes before you arrive so you have your shopping list ready. Make it fun and treat it like a scavenger hunt to find what you need. Check out some of our fun kid friendly recipes here.

9. Pamper day out

Enjoy a bit of pampering in centre at one of our nail salon – kids can try a new bright colour on their nails and mums will love a moment to sit still and relax in the massage chair. Try ProfesstioNAIL, Fashion Nails & Beauty, Nexus Nails and Beauty Stop.

10. Catch up with your mum friends at a cafe

There are many pram and baby friendly cafes in centre. Pick up a babycino and a coffee for yourself while you swap stories about your little one to your friends who can relate to the parenthood stage you are in. Head to Archer Coffee and Bagels, Coffee Hit, The Coffee Club, Crema Espresso and Moderne Cafe.
