Game Over Brisbane

If you’re looking for something to actually tire the kids out on a weekend, Game Over Brisbane in Oxley delivers. The go-karts are the real drawcard — proper racing, not the sad slow kind — but there’s also an arcade and an indoor play area with tunnels to keep the younger ones busy while older kids do their own thing. It’s fully enclosed, so you’re not chasing anyone into a carpark, and the restrooms and parking situation are sorted. Locals use it constantly for birthday parties, and honestly it holds up — themed throughout, plenty to do, and staff who seem to genuinely know how to handle a crowd of sugar-fuelled eight-year-olds.
