The sun was shining and children from all age groups were having a great time in the laser tag arena, jumping castles and watching a magic show from Troppo Bob.

There was also food, drink vendors, music and even a live interactive reptile show.

"We were nervous as so much work had gone into it, and we were just really excited that the weather cleared up for us, and that everyone has been able to come down and have some fun," Ms Spokes said.
