Great centre our children loved it there :) We were travelling through Cairns for work so we contacted the centre about bringing our children there while we worked. They were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. It was fantastic that all the meals and snacks were provided as well as nappies which made packing for the day very easy. The staff were excellent and if we were to stay in once place for any length of time we would love to come back here.
