The Zone Family Entertainment Complex
The Zone Family Entertainment Complex in Bendigo has grown significantly since its beginnings. First opened as Life Adventure Park in 1996, it was renamed The Zone in 2005 under new ownership. Since then, the venue has added a skating rink, an upgraded mini golf course, dodgem cars, virtual reality attractions and a modern foyer. Today, it is one of the region’s most popular entertainment hubs, catering to families, school groups, sports clubs, and community organisations.
The Zone Fun Park
The Zone brings a broad range of activities, each designed to be easy to join, with clear age and height guidelines and flexible session options.

The skating rink offers a lively disco-style atmosphere. Sessions run for 2.5 hours, and protective gear is available at no extra cost. Parents can assist younger or inexperienced skaters on the rink. A skate DJ may be available to guide new skaters or run simple games. Entry is $18.50 with skate hire or $15.50 if you bring your own.
