Dining out with the fam doesn’t have to mean fries and chaos (although, let’s be honest, there will be both 😅)
Here are four family-friendly spots in Wollongong where the food is great, the kids are entertained, and everyone leaves happy:
☕ @northbeachkiosk: Beach + brekkie = bliss! Grab a coffee while the kids play in the sand just steps away.
🛝 @towradgibeachhotel: Pub meals, live music, and a playground built for full-throttle fun - this place has it all.
⛳ @wollongonggolfclub: Chilled drinks for you, enclosed playground for them - everyone wins at The 19th.
🍝 @thefraternityclub: Think pasta, vino, and an epic playground right next to your table - family dining done right.
Tag the parent who needs this list & save it for your next stress-free family feed! 👇

What happens when you hand two world-class darts players a golf club… and tell them to hit a dartboard? ⛳🎯
@lukehumphries180 and @josh_rocky_rock took on the ultimate crossover challenge at @smash.factor.golf: Darts Golf.
Who won? Who missed entirely? Watch to find out! 👀
Catch them throwing actual darts at the Australian Darts Masters in Wollongong this weekend at the WIN Entertainment Centre. Tickets are almost completely sold out, so if you haven’t got yours yet, you better hurry! 🙌
