Throw yourself into a good mood with these local spots.
With holidays coming up, that means a lot more family time, and possibly a whole lot more stress. Today we’re looking at some of the best spots across our state to get rid of that anger and get some zen into you this Summer.
The Break Room
This is exactly how it sounds. You’re put in a room on your own and can break a heap of stuff.
In particular, you’re given a box of old crockery that the break room have grabbed from an Op Shop / Second hand shop. So, you know that the stuff isn’t wasted, they’ve lived their life and go out with a literal bang.
To bring it all full circle, you can blast some death metal for that little bit of extra catharsis.
You can book in a visit here, a session starts from around $60.
Smash Splash
This is pretty similar to the above, they’ve got a cool Smash it up room, where you can do the same sort of stuff.
But Smash Splash also has a couple of other cool rooms; the splash it up room, where you get put in a room, put on a full-body poncho, and get crazy with some paint. This is the best thing for those kids who need to get their energy out, and finally, there’s a crash right in room, where you go with someone else, each put a bubble suit on, and run into each other in a ball pit – maybe head there with that friend that sometimes gets on your nerves.
Book it in here, prices start from around $30.

This is pretty much just a cool version of abseiling; it involves running down 7 stories of a building as fast as you can, truly the coolest way to get your anger out. If this sounds dangerous, their website lists that they have a 100% safety record since 1989.
