Family Friendly Board Games in Werribee at Lollypop Creek

As a mum of two energetic kids aged ten and eight, I am always on the lookout for screen inexpensive activities in Werribee that actually hold their attention and this one is sure to please.

What I love most about Board in the West at Lollypop Creek is the strong sense of community. There is something beautifully old school about gathering around a table, shuffling cards, rolling dice and diving into friendly competition. It reminds me of how live music brings people together in that communal way, like when a crowd unites for a favourite Oasis anthem.


Board games do the same thing. They spark conversation, strategic thinking and plenty of giggles.
