Messy Play: Halloween
Wednesday 21 October 2026 | 10:00 AM
Mount Nathan
A Halloween morning of hands on, taste safe sensory play for little ones by the Coomera River, with a quiet zone set aside for babies.
Bring the little ones to Historic Rivermill for a Halloween morning of sensory and messy play on the banks of the Coomera River, half an hour from central Gold Coast.
Gumtree Kids fills the morning with Halloween play stations to dip, pour, squash and paint through. The sessions are child led, so little ones move between the stations at their own pace with a grown up alongside them. A quiet zone is set aside for the babies, away from the busiest tables. Every material is taste safe and child friendly.
For ages 6 months to 5 years.
Bring a change of clothes, a towel or wipes, a water bottle, a hat and sunscreen. Adult supervision is required throughout.
The café is open afterwards, and the riverside grounds and animals are there for families who would like to make a morning of it.
