YARRALUMLA PLAY STATION REVIEWS

A little hidden gem in Yarralumla, it is a very quiet and beautiful place. The PlayStation has a good cafe at the entrance and if you want you can also see and visit the animals, you need to pay a ticket that includes the train ride to the small farm, the train leaves every hour. The price is reasonable because they have to care for and feed the animals. We loved the alpacas, especially the black one who was very friendly :)

Great place to come for a family lunch and for the kids to play. We had a sourdough BLT and coffee - both was really nice. Train rides for kids were fun and goes every 30min. Definitely have a seat outside in the sun

The place is very old. However, great fun for kids. Good way to spent a couple of hours. Cute animals to feed. Mini golf is fun to play. Train ride was OK. Friendly and helpful staff.

MERRY-GO-ROUND REVIEWS

I have been riding on this merry go round since I was a child. I love the simple joy of choosing your horse (or elephant) and watching the world go by. Very reasonable price of $3 per person. They take exact cash or card. They also sell drinks, packaged ice creams, and childrens pinwheels. Even as an adult I enjoy this ride whether I am alone or riding with my own child. Highly recommended.

A fabulous treat for the kids. And only $3!! The rubbish little rides in shopping centres cost that these days. Plenty of seats so dont have to wait long. My 3 1/2 year old luvs it. We go any time we are in the city.

Visiting (from Melbourne) my Granddaughter, who lives in Canberra and we had a lovely time on this Merry Go Round. The gentleman in charge was happy, courteous and helpful. Price minimal, which was a plus...
