The Let’s go Mum family appeared on WIN News today – of course we’re always up for a chat about our family travel blog and what we’ve been up to.

We were delighted to chat with Emma Groves from WIN TV Canberra all about different summer school holiday boredom busters for the family – many of which are low-cost, or free!

Barbara’s recommendations include:

• Local councils often host free school holiday events
• Camping for adventure
• Family resorts can offer a beach holiday alternative
• Check out your local museums

The Let’s go Mum kids Brooke and Samantha have quite a few interviews under their belts by now, and on this occasion Brooke (13) was also given the opportunity for her very own spot to recommend her summer holiday tips to the watching kids. Needless to say, Brooke leapt at the chance!

Brooke’s recommendations include turning off the TV and:

• Going for a walk
• Visiting a Nature Park
• Visiting a local park/playground

Our young adventurers 12 year old Brooke and 10 year old Samantha were lucky enough to get first try today at all of the fun at the exciting new Play Space at the Canberra Centre.

Both girls were later interviewed by WIN news Canberra, and were very excited to give their enthusiastic kid’s perspective of  this new family hot spot.

“We’ve got books, we’ve got colouring, we’ve got amazing places to climb,” Brooke told the WIN News interviewer Alison Hattley. “There are balls everywhere – it’s really, really fun!”

Now open and a permanent feature of the Canberra Centre, the Play Space offers mums, dads, bubs, toddlers and kids up to the age of 12 with some fun respite from Christmas shopping – and of course the up-coming January sales!

With a reading corner, a craft and colouring station, and plenty of safe, soft play areas, the Canberra Centre Playspace is sure to be a hit with Canberra parents and children alike.

Enclosed with a child-safe gate, the new Play Space is within clear view of the food court tables. This means that mums and dads can relax with some well-earned refreshment whilst the kids can have fun burning off some energy, or just quietly reading, colouring and learning at the same time!

A welcome break for Canberra parents

The Play Space’s colourful, stylish design was inspired by the natural Canberra environment. The end result is a fun and playful design that the kids obviously love. Today the centre was a welcome break for busy mums in the middle of Christmas shopping. The really great news for parents is that the Play Centre is absolutely free!

As for our Brooke and Samantha’s verdict on the new Playspace? It’s a big thumbs-up!

You’ll find the new Canberra Centre children’s Play Space located on level 1, just off the foodcourt.
