Get ready for a Saturday evening with a little more adventure! Flipz Academy is inviting families to send their young explorers on a space themed night of movement, laughter and fun with friends. Our Zero Gravity Party is coming to Southport, and it is a wonderful reason to put something exciting on the family calendar before the end of year rush begins.

Think about the stories your child could bring home: a favourite moment, a game that made everyone laugh, or the excitement of sharing an adventure with a friend. Childhood deserves room for those moments. This October, give your child something to look forward to and let their Saturday night take flight.

Your October adventure starts here

Join us on Saturday 17 October 2026, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, at Flipz Academy inside Southport Park Shopping Centre on the Gold Coast. Tickets are $70 per child and include three hours of activities, plus pizza and juice. The evening brings together trampolines, bungee jumping, laser tag, games and music in one exciting event.

You do not need to be a Flipz Academy member, and no gymnastics experience is required. If your child loves the idea of an active evening with friends, this is an invitation to join the fun. Visit our online booking page, read the participation requirements and secure their place. Then comes the enjoyable part: deciding who to invite and what to wear!

Give them something exciting to anticipate

For children, the fun can start long before an event begins. It starts with hearing about the plan, asking a friend to come along and counting down the days. A Saturday party can turn an ordinary week into one filled with happy anticipation. Even choosing a favourite outfit becomes part of the adventure.

Parents know how quickly the final months of the year can fill up. School commitments, family arrangements and preparations for the festive season soon compete for attention. Making time for a special evening now means you already have something enjoyable in the diary. Let your child have a night to be playful, spend time with friends and enjoy being part of something exciting.

Bring a friend and share the adventure

Some experiences are even more enjoyable when someone familiar is beside you. Invite a school friend, a cousin or a friend from class, and give the children a shared occasion to look forward to. They can talk about their outfit ideas beforehand and compare their favourite moments afterwards. It is a simple way to make time together feel special.

You might start by sending another parent the booking link and asking whether their child would like to join yours. Let each family review the event information and complete the required booking details. Once everyone is organised, the countdown can begin. A friendly invitation could be the start of a Saturday evening the children talk about long after it finishes.

Make room for playful movement

There is something joyful about an evening that lets children move, laugh and enjoy themselves. Active play gives them a chance to step away from the usual routines and put their energy into an experience they can share. A party built around movement offers plenty of reasons to feel involved and excited.

Encourage your child to enjoy the experience at their own level, listen to the team and celebrate the fun of taking part. They do not need to impress anyone or arrive with a list of skills. The best moments may be the simplest: laughing with a friend, enjoying a game or feeling pleased that they joined in. Give them permission to have fun without making the evening another performance.

A space theme full of imagination

The space theme gives young partygoers plenty of room to be creative. An astronaut, an alien or a galaxy inspired outfit can all spark excitement before arrival. Your child might already have something at home that feels perfect for their own cosmic adventure. Ask what they would choose if they were getting ready to explore another planet!

Costumes are encouraged, but they are completely optional. A favourite party outfit is welcome too, so there is no need to turn getting ready into a complicated project. Keep clothing practical for movement and check with Flipz if you have questions about suitable accessories. The aim is to help your child feel comfortable, happy and ready to join the evening.

Let your child help with the plan

Giving children a small part in organising their evening can make it feel even more special. Ask which friend they would like to invite or whether they want to choose an outfit together. These little decisions can create a sense of ownership without putting the practical arrangements in their hands.

You can also talk about what makes a good party companion. Encourage them to include others, use kind words and enjoy games with a positive attitude. Remind them that listening matters when everyone is moving and having fun. A short conversation at home can help set the tone for a happy evening. Keep it light and encouraging, with plenty of room for their excitement to shine through

A chance for parents to enjoy October too

Parents deserve something enjoyable on the calendar as well. For families whose children can attend under the standard supervision arrangements, the party offers an opportunity to plan a little time for yourselves. That might mean dinner together, catching up with a friend or simply enjoying a quieter evening at home.

Choose whatever would feel most refreshing for you. There is no need to pack the evening with errands unless that is what you want. Keep the event times in mind, stay contactable and organise collection. Families whose children require additional support should review the booking conditions carefully, as a parent, guardian or support person may need to remain and provide that support throughout the event.

Make a small occasion feel memorable

An enjoyable childhood memory does not always require a long holiday or an elaborate family outing. Sometimes it begins with a simple invitation and a few hours set aside for fun. A special evening can offer the pleasure of doing something different while keeping the planning manageable for parents.

Let your child know that this is their chance to enjoy an adventure with friends. Talk about what they are looking forward to and leave room for surprises within the experience. Afterwards, ask what made them laugh or what they enjoyed most. You may find that a small detail matters more to them than you expected. Those conversations are part of the pleasure of giving them an evening to remember.

Keep getting ready simple

Before the party, take a little time to read the booking information and organise the details your family needs. Check the event date, plan your journey and allow time to arrive without rushing. A calm start can make it easier for everyone to enjoy the excitement of the evening.

Choose clothing that lets your child move comfortably. Review the grip sock option in the form and contact Flipz if you need clarification about footwear. If you have questions about food, allergies or participation, ask before completing the booking rather than assuming an arrangement is available. Getting these questions answered in advance leaves you free to focus on the fun when Saturday arrives.

Share the information that helps us support participation

Accurate booking details help the team understand who is attending and how to contact each family. Take care when entering your child’s information and your contact numbers. Read every relevant condition so you understand the arrangements that apply to your child. It is worth setting aside a few uninterrupted minutes to complete the form properly.

If your child has a medical condition, additional needs or specific support requirements, disclose these through the booking process and contact Flipz with any questions. The form explains additional supervision and acknowledgement requirements. Clarifying these arrangements before the event helps your family prepare. Please check with the team about suitability if the published information does not answer your questions, including any questions about age eligibility.

Enjoy the anticipation together

Once the booking is organised, you can make the lead up enjoyable without adding lots of extra work. Put the party date on the calendar where your child can see it. Let them tell a friend what they are excited about or choose their outfit a day or two beforehand.

You could ask them to imagine the name of their own space mission or decide what kind of explorer they would be. These are playful ideas to enjoy at home, not extra activities promised at the event. Follow their interests and keep it easy. Some children love a big countdown, while others prefer a simple reminder. The important part is giving them something positive to anticipate in their own way.

A local outing for Gold Coast families

For families looking for something to do with children in Southport, a local event can make planning an enjoyable weekend easier. You can build the evening around your existing family routine and focus on organising the essentials. It is an opportunity to make space for fun close to home.

When you are discussing the plan with friends, share the location and booking link so everyone has the same information. If another family is unfamiliar with Flipz Academy, encourage them to read the event page themselves. A clear plan makes it easier to coordinate invitations and transport. Then the children can concentrate on what matters to them: spending time together and enjoying a Saturday evening that feels special.

Book early and get the evening organised

If the Zero Gravity Party sounds like your child’s kind of adventure, make the booking while you are thinking about it. Places are limited, so booking early gives your family a clearer plan and avoids leaving the decision until the last moment. You can then organise invitations and transport with confidence.

Go to the event page and scroll to the booking form. Enter the requested details, review your selections and complete the payment process. Keep your booking information handy and contact Flipz if you need help. If friends are joining, remind their families to secure their own places too. An invitation is a wonderful start, but each child’s attendance needs to be arranged through the booking process.

Let the end of year include some fun

As the year gets busier, it can be easy to keep postponing the enjoyable things. There is always another task waiting or another week that seems more convenient. Choosing a special evening now is a way to protect a little space for childhood fun before the calendar becomes crowded.

Let your loved ones enjoy themselves. Give them time to laugh with friends, take part and come home with stories of their own. You do not have to organise a perfect weekend to make them feel excited. Sometimes one well chosen event is enough to brighten the whole week. This October, let the family calendar include something your child will be delighted to see written on it.
