Lollipop’s Playland & Cafe

If you’re north of Brisbane and need somewhere to take the kids on a rainy day, Lollipop’s Playland & Cafe on Gympie Rd is a solid go-to. It’s pitched at toddlers through to primary school age, so it works well for families with a bit of an age gap between siblings. You can actually sit down with a coffee while the kids burn off energy — which, honestly, is half the reason parents keep coming back. Strathpine’s not exactly overflowing with indoor play options, so this one gets a decent workout from the local crowd.
