Caterpillar Lane Playground - Harbourside - Sydney - Review
The Harbourside Shopping Centre was closed in 2023.
The Harbourside Shopping Centre at the Heart of Darling Harbour recently opened its first interactive playground, Caterpillar Lane. Over 40 metres long, Caterpillar Lane comes complete with interactive digital panels, climbing towers, slides, light, projection games, as well as a special soft play area for children four years and under.
Busy City Kids were invited to review this playground however we have not been able to make it to as yet since its opening. We hope to visit soon, in the meantime, here's some pics and text from Harbourside. Thanks guys for sharing this great indoor playground!
