Located in the suburb of Maribyrnong, the new venue started operations on August 30.

Leo Neophytou, Funtopia master franchisee for Australia, said: “We wanted to build an impressive venue where participants of all ages can experience entertainment at a whole new level. We designed a truly special place where best-in-class attractions allow everyone to have fun, where kids are encouraged to develop physical and social skills.

“No expense was spared on the technology that makes the venue one of the safest play centres in Australia, allowing parents to sit back and enjoy a speciality coffee with 360-degree views of their loved ones.”

“The whole project took a little over 12 months from concept to completion,” said Ruzha Karaatanasova, CEO of company franchising.

“Funtopia Maribyrnong is built on an area of 1,600sq.m and features 40 fun climbing interactive walls, a giant slide, Jump in the Air and Skyscraper challenges, kids’ bouldering wall and a 650sq.m playground area. Family shared experience is what we believe in and offer to our customers - we know how important this is.”
