The competitive kid’s birthday party scene is hitting new heights in Hobart. Flying, flipping and jumping are all on offer while parents sit back and relax. Here are the top five indoor play centres to have someone else throw your party. And clean up afterwards…
Gymsports Kingston
The birthday boy or girl is invited to bounce through the air in the gymnastics bungee harness at every Gymsports party. Guests spend an hour playing at the Kingborough gymnastics centre with an instructor leading the games and party activities. Play includes trampolines, foam pits, air track and foam shapes. You can bring your own party food or the centre will provide everything for you – even a cake and party bags. No gymnastics experience – or outfit – is required. gymsports.net.au
Zone 3 Laser Games
The Zone 3 space-themed laser tag centre is a high energy and action-packed party destination in the CBD. Guests wear electronic vests and tag each other with phasors to score points. Parties run for up to two hours – with breaks between games. You can cater your party with food and a birthday cake or opt for the pizza party package where fresh pizza will be delivered hot. zone3hobart.com.au
Supatramp (Supaworld)
If your kids like to bounce, dodge and climb the walls, this is the spot for their next birthday party. Supatramp (or Supaworld) in Derwent Park offers trampolines, dodgeball and rock climbing.

Inflatable World
If you’re a parent who likes to get involved in the action and leap off a giant inflatable castle – this Eastern Shore play centre is for you. Adults are encouraged to be part of the action in the activity zone – giant inflatable mushrooms, castle, climbing walls and tunnels. If that sounds too much, you can spend the two hours watching from the sidelines and cater your party with your own food and cake. inflatableworldoz.com.au ■
