What to expect at The Beachouse
The Beachouse brings indoor rides, games and family activities together at its Colley Terrace venue. You can choose from attractions such as its carousel, train, indoor play castle and two levels of games.
There’s also a ground-floor café, plus a parent room on the ground floor. Lift access is available on all levels, and change rooms are on Level 2 beside the waterslides.
Which rides and activities can you try?
The Beachouse has three fully enclosed indoor waterslides, Dodgem Cars, Bumper Boats, a carousel, a train, mini golf, an indoor play castle and two levels of games.
The mini golf course has a western theme and 18 holes. The carousel is described as historic and 120 years old. The waterslides are indoors and heated during cooler months, so they’re an option when the weather is less suited to outdoor plans.
All rides have height restrictions. Check the information for each ride before you plan around a particular attraction, especially if a child needs to meet a specific height limit.
How do The Beachouse tickets and opening hours work?
There’s no general entry fee, and you don’t need to book for a regular visit. You pay to use rides and games with a Funcard. Funcards can be recharged and never expire, while loaded packages and credits expire after 18 months.
A Funcard costs $2 and a Funband costs $6. Credits and general anytime packages can be shared, but time cards cannot. Large groups of 20 or more and birthday parties for 10 or more children can make a booking.
Slides are unavailable. You can buy tickets before the listed opening time. Hours may change at any time, so check the official site before you go.
