Redcliffe families now have a new space-themed play centre to enjoy, with the opening of Area 51 at 82-98 Anzac Ave.
The centre officially opened its doors, offering a fun and engaging environment for children aged 12 and under. Operating hours are from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Play Areas and Features

The 1000sqm Redcliffe centre offers a variety of attractions for kids. Younger children can explore the dedicated toddler zone, Astro Explorer, while older kids can tackle the Super Climber and the large soft play area known as Gizmo’s Odyssey. Thrilling slides and a café for parents are also featured.
Area 51 Operations Manager, Michael Affleck, stated that the centre aims to provide a valuable community hub where families can connect and children can be active and entertained. He also noted that the Redcliffe centre, while smaller than the 8000sqm Underwood location, is still designed to provide ample space for fun and play.
Community Focus

Area 51’s expansion into Redcliffe reflects the company’s commitment to providing families with accessible indoor play spaces. The company recognises the importance of these centres in fostering community connections and offering children opportunities for active play. This new location will offer Redcliffe families a place to gather, relax, and let their children burn off energy in a safe and stimulating environment.
Mr Affleck has said the company’s goal is to provide more families with indoor play centres where children can be energetic and engaged and have the opportunity to meet like-minded people.
Future Expansion

Area 51 is experiencing significant growth, winning a Best of Queensland Experience Award in 2024. In addition to the Redcliffe location, the company has announced early works on a third indoor entertainment centre in Bundamba, Ipswich, demonstrating its dedication to expanding its reach and providing more families with quality entertainment options. Bookings for the Redcliffe Centre can be made via the Area 51 website.
