If you haven’t been - make the trip.

Great value..(only a gold coin donation .)
I visit with my children 5 or 6 times a year and the children are never bored!
Highly recommended
Fantastic place to take the kids for a play for free (or donation) Parents can sit and relax with a coffee while the kids are enjoying themselves.
Great day out for all
Great playground, free entry (or donation), great setting with bike path access. We’ve had many enjoyable visits to KidsTown. Great facility.
An 84 year old retired builder and a bunch of volunteers helped bring the vision of a unique playground to reality. SPC Ardmona, Visy Industries (Richard Pratt), J Furphy and Sons, Ducats and many other supporters helped contribute more than a million dollars to build the evolving project. The ideas of local kids and their parents were included in the design of what is widely regarded as the best children’s playground in Australia. KidsTown is an exciting playground for kids and one that meets the needs of their parents. A theme park like adventure only costs a gold coin donation. What more could you ask for a great family day out?
A brilliant playground … much for kids to do, and only for a gold coin donation.
The only gripes I have is the cost of things at the cafe and the restaurant. They are a bit pricey, but I guess the Council wants to make a huge profit. The restaurant will be much dearer now they have let the contract out to run it.
But, aside from that the playground is fantastic.
My kids love kidstown and always want to head over there. Luckily it’s only a 10 minute drive for us but I would drive an hour or more to go here with the kids. Games, a train, flying fox, slides, swings, bring a picnic or a few snags to burn on the BBQ(ok, thats more about the way I cook, not the BBQ), or use the kiosk as the prices are pretty good. A gold coin donation is all they ask. This place is a ball.
My children never tire of visiting SPC Ardmona KidsTown, and we enjoy taking them there. It has great facilities for picnics and barbeques. It’s a “must see” for any families visiting the Shepparton district.
Great place for kids, and free entry just on the edge of Shepparton
A great place for young and old kids - Gavin
All you need in a playground and a great place to entertain the family, have a picnic or buy a coffee and let the children play, in bushland close to Shepparton.
This is the perfect place to go for people with kids! It is not expensive, the kids have a great time, there is something there for every age! You can even have a bbq there! Wish there were more places like this around Victoria!
A wonderland of paths, steps and slides that allows children to escape into their own world as they explore the wonderfully created play structures and all they have to offer. It really is a town for kids complete with grassy picnic area, barb-b-que and a shop full of treats. Allow plenty of time to enjoy this amazing experience.
Great to see something pitched squarely at the kids - and I am sure the Parents enjoy the break that Kidstown provides. It is also a great combination of benefit to the Tourist/traveller whilst having wide appeal to the local commumity.
A great facility where visitors and locals can take their family to enjoy the playground and facilities. It’s the first thing we tell visitors with young familites to visit.
GREAT PLACE ;aaa;SAFE PLACE FOR KIDS WELL DONE SHEPPARTON A MUST PLACE TO SEE AAA=AAA=AAA=AAA=AAA=AAA=AAA=AAA WELL DONE TO ALL INVOLVED
Great place for Grandparents to enjoy more of their grandachildren and experience them enjoying themselves. Very safe and well maintained.
Our grandkids love it. Certainly keeps us busy keeping an eye on them there is so much to do and they come away worn out each time. All the facilities are great and what better value than a gold coin donation.
It is absolutely brilliant for kids and family, we have even taken our elderly parents along with grandchildren and they loved it too. It has a special memory for us as Mum was taken there and had a photo taken with her youngest greatgrandchild from Darwin and 2 months later she passed away.
A must for all.
We are lucky to have such a great playground in this area, which is a safe place to take our children and grandchildren. It has a volunteer organisation called Friends of Kidstown where local businesses and the public donate their time and services to make this a wonderful adventure playground. Kidsfest, a children’s festival, is an annual event run over a few days. It is expertly run by staff and volunteers, attracting children from far and wide and is equally enjoyed by adults.
Great place to take visitors to the region, plenty of activities for children, safe relaxing environment for all ages, easily affordable.
Great fun and safe place for kids, very well run and also entertaining for adults with restaurants, etc.
Great place to catch up with freinds while the younger family members can play and enjoy themselves.
A wonderful playground that is full of slides and mazes for a great family day out and best of all the cost is only a gold coin donation. And why not buy a coffee from the cafe it’s great, and the staff are very friendly.
I am 6years old and I LOVE coming to KidsTown with my friends and playing all day long. I have my birthday party here every year!!
KidsTown is a wonderful place to bring the family and meet friends for special get togethers. My children love coming to ride the train.
Great day out for the kids & what great value! The coffee from the café also hit the spot. Well done to all involved
Amazing playground that keeps the whole family entertained for hours
The kids absolutely love going to Kidstown. We can easily keep them entertained for the whole day.
brilliant. Recently took the kids there and they had a ball. They loved the camel ride the best but the whole place was affordable - we’ll be going back.
Great fun and safe place for kids. Worth a big part of a day trip or so.
Great chep family entertainment, kids leave parents in peace to talk while kids are being outside and active.
This amazing playground is so fun, its a great family place and the best thing is the cost, its minimal (a gold coin donation), take along a picnic or buy something there. You really can’t find a better playground and attraction.
Fantastic Place for Kids and family’s alike
Awesome playground for children of all ages!! You can spend all day there.
My grandson absolutely loves the train. He never wants to get off when it is time. His father loves to go on the rides with him.
All members of the family can spend time there, the kids have fun, the parents can relax as they watch over the kids and soak up the country air and the best of all is that it is gold coin donation so all families can afford to do it
What a great facility! Our whole family had the best time. It’s a lovely, welcoming, and safe environment for the kids, and so relaxing for parents. The picnic faciliites are great; we would love to visit it again.
Not just an ordinary playground, more of an “adventure experience”! The facilities are great, the variety of equipment and activities cater for a wide range of ages, and there’s always plenty of parking. On any given Saturday morning you’ll find dozens of Dads stuck in the maze or tunnels, nappy bag over their shoulder, trailing an excited toddler or two - a great way to spend a morning!
My children love Kidstown, there are a number of activites that the kids enjoy and it doesn’t matter what the age. The playground is massive and enjoyed not only by the children, but also the parents! Food is not an issue, as you can utilise the cafe, or there are plenty of BBQ’s provided if that’s your taste or pack a picnic as there are ample areas to eat amoungst the beautiful bush backdrop.
So much fun for everyone. The kids can’t get bored at this playground - and neither can the adults with the fantastic cafe.
This is just the best place to take your kids, for family barbeques and for meeting friends. The coffee’s great and you get to sit about and chat while the kids can safely run wild - my boys love it.
Great playgound for the whole family, great range of activities for different age groups and all for only a gold coin donation. BBQs are great for a family get together.
160,000 visitors a year can not be wrong
Great playground for young people
Great fun for the whole family at low cost.
Plenty of activities and equipment along with safe open space for all all the family
Great playground, great facility and all for a gold coin donation, beats any theme park (for value for money and fun!)
You just have to come and see SPC Ardmona KidsTown for yourself, it is the best!
Great for kids and adults alike!
Huge, inexpensive, family friendly playground suitable for children of all ages - surrounded by a miniature railway, beautiful surroundings in which to enjoy a picnic, dine in the cafe, or cook your own meal on one of the bbq facilities. Easily accessible by car, or if you’re feeling active - walking and bike tracks.
Kidstown is great! Who would ever thought a playground could keep kids amused for hours!!! The giant slide is the best!!! (The chance for the adults to have a coffee even better!).
KidsTown is a fantastic playground - heaps and heaps for the kids to do including giant slides, mazes and a miniature railway - where mum and dad can get a great cuppa! And all for a gold coin donation!!!!!!!!!!
Kidstown offers many activities, great play equipment and a safe environment for children of all ages. Whilist they play and are within your eye sight, the relaxation of a coffee for the parents is heaven!
The most wonderful adventure for children of all ages, catering for all ages and sizes in a beautiful natural setting.
Take a ride on the miniture Train ride to see all it has o offer. you can find a nice quite grassy, shady spot away from the main play area. good for the parents to lie back a read the paper as the kids go crazy on the slides, swings and mazes.
All for a gold coin donation.
An absolutley fantastic day out for the whole family. The kids have a fantastic time on the slides and the mazes. The kids train ride is cool too!
Took my two grandchildren to playground, what a great time they had with all the different things to do while i could enjoy a coffee from the cafe.
This playground is best in Victoria you can spend a whole day there without it costing a fortune and the children have so many different play elements to play on.
Fantastic facility for the whole family….. Playground is HUGE and lots of things for the family to do with miniture train rides really cheap and BBQ’s to cook lunch on there. You could easily spend the whole day there. Worth a visit!!!
Great playground for kids of all ages, with a good family friendly atmosphere.
This is a fantastic, family friendly playground - it’s huge. It’s so great the adults can’t be blamed for wanting to join in (there’s plenty who do) and if they wear themselves out (unlike the kids who just keep playing…), they can sit and enjoy a beautiful cuppa from the clean, inviting cafe. Well worth a visit - located between Shepparton and Mooroopna, Victoria.
