Toddler Review

We are really blessed on the Northern Gold Coast with so many new and well designed playground spaces for our kids. Westfield Helensvale’s playspace is not an exception.

The problem I have, is that there never is enough time to to shop, play and eat in one trip.

So even though we always add a playground visit to the end of our shopping trip I highly recommend you schedule in a playground visit to coincide with one of Westfield Helensvale’s free weekly kids sessions and make a toddler morning out of a visit to Westfield Helensvale.
