Meet the Bear and Cub Play Centre: Our Story & Community Impact

Oct 8, 2025
2 min read

Every parent knows the challenge of finding a safe, welcoming place for their little ones to play, explore, and make friends while still being able to relax and connect with other parents. That is exactly why Bear and Cub Play Centre was born.


As a mum of two, I saw firsthand how much our community needed a calm, secure space designed just for young children. Our play centre in Bendigo is the only venue dedicated exclusively to ages 0 to 5, offering a peaceful environment where parents can keep visual supervision and feel at ease.

But Bear and Cub is more than just a play space. We are a meeting place for local families, a spot where friendships grow, and a resource for parents who want to feel supported and connected. Whether you are coming for open play, celebrating a birthday, or just needing a safe space on a rainy day, you will find a warm welcome here.


We are proud to be part of the Bendigo community, and we love seeing the positive impact our centre has. We help parents find their village, give kids a creative outlet, and fill a gap in local family life. Every smile, every new friendship, and every happy memory made here reminds us why we do what we do.


Affordable Pricing for Real Families

We know that raising a family can be expensive, so we have made it a priority to keep Bear and Cub Play Centre accessible to everyone. We offer a range of affordable options, including casual entry, family-friendly memberships, and ten play passes that make regular visits even more cost-effective. Our pricing is designed with local families in mind, no hidden costs, no unnecessary extras, just real value. We are not in the business of ripping people off. We truly want to help the community by providing a space that supports families, not just profits from them.


Thank you for being part of our story and helping us build a community where families thrive. If you have not visited yet, we cannot wait to welcome you.
