Inflatable World

No, Macarthur's newest attraction is not a place where you go and inflate things. It is a place full of jumpy / bouncy castles - perfect for expending excess energy now that the school holidays are here. We went when it first opened and it was pretty busy but I observed it cleared out around lunchtime so yesterday afternoon we went back for a return visit and there were no queues.

Adults can join in the fun too or sit and watch. Entry for participants is $15, with special pricing for children under 5. There is a sectioned off area for younger children next to the cafe so little ones can bounce and run while parents enjoy a drink. The venue is stroller friendly and there is plenty of parking.

In addition to the hoop run above there is a velcro wall, a 'cliff jump' and a 'jousting' arena. Lots of fun for all ages. Note that socks are required to be worn. 

Inflatable World is located at 1/79-83 Anderson Road, Smeaton Grange (next to Maximum Skating rink). They are closed now for the holidays but will re-open 4th of January and throughout the school holidays.

It's that time of year again...

The Fisher's Ghost Festival has kicked off and there's lots happening this weekend with the street parade, family fun festival and Fisher's Gig on Saturday, and Fisher's Kids on Sunday at Campbelltown Arts Centre. As part of Fisher's Gig, there'll be fireworks going off at 9pm on Saturday so if you're near Bradbury Oval, a) head outside for a look and b) make sure your pets are locked away safe.

If you feel like heading out of Campbelltown for some tranquility, Bingara Gorge at Wilton are running some free events including a yoga class and story time plus a twilight cinema on Saturday. On Sunday they've got kids gardening and a science show. For more info, check out the website.

For something cultural, the 141st Scottish Highland Gathering is being held at the Castle Hill showground. This is a family event with dancing, bagpipes, haggis hurling (what the?), a vintage car display plus food and drink stalls. For more info, check out the Facebook page.

With so much happening in the Macarthur area and surrounds this weekend - and predicted good weather - it's going to be hard to make a choice. Where are you planning to be?
