Pubs & restaurants with playgrounds in Central Coast
On the Central Coast, the Wyong Milk Factory has the most to do: a shaded riverside playground with a pirate boat, plus two storeys of soft play inside the tavern. Gosford RSL's Sprouts is a free, fully enclosed indoor playground, and the Kincumber and Woy Woy hotels put their playgrounds beside the courtyard and the water.
All of this is taken from the venues' own websites, with the pages linked. Several Coast clubs are renovating or keep shorter hours early in the week, so check before a weekday trip.
