Visiting DFO Homebush with Kids

On top of the great discounts you can get there is an awesome play stop for little kids.

 

What has the playground got:

• A slide.
• Massive interactive tv.
• A little tunnel to hide in.
• little iPads in a cubby.
• A wooden train.

 

My little one ran around for 30 minutes before I told her we had to go home.

 

On the same level as the play area there are two places you can get coffee (Michel’s Patisserie or Moochi) so you can have a coffee while you watch them play. There is also a phone charging station, right next to the place for the kids to put their shoes.

    

Food and Coffee at DFO Homebush

You can grab coffee and food just next door to the play area in the food court.

There are also a few cafes or snack stops on the top level – Oliver Brown and Muffin Break included.

 

When to visit DFO Homebush

 

The Centre is usually open from 10am to 6pm 7 days a week.

I would avoid going on public holidays, during the Christmas period especially between Christmas and New Year. It is so busy there are queues to get into some of the shops and the parking is a nightmare.

We made this mistake last year and will never ever do it again no matter how cheap the Lululemon stuff is.
