The Northern Beaches' big indoor energy-burner, Flip Out Frenchs Forest crams trampoline arenas, a ninja-warrior course, a climbing wall, wipeout, soft play and an arcade under one roof. A dedicated junior arena and a cheap weekday-morning toddler session make this a reliable rain-or-shine outing for ages two and up.

Why We Love It

• Separate junior arena keeps toddlers off the big trampolines and away from bouncing teenagers, so little legs get a fair go.

• Real challenge for older kids with a ninja-warrior course, climbing wall and wipeout to test the preteens and teens.

• Weekday playgroup toddler session from 9.30am to 1:30pm is the calmest, cheapest window for under-5s to burn off steam.

• Variety beyond the trampolines with an interactive wall, pixel games, sports court and arcade to switch things up when arms get tired.

• Wet-weather certainty - it is entirely indoors, so it stays the plan whether it is pouring or 38 degrees outside.
