Program location and additional information

As a drop-in style program, no bookings are required to attend an At the Shops session. While City of Gosnells staff make every effort to support community safety, sessions are not supervised, and parents and carers are responsible for supervising their children at all times. The City of Gosnells accepts no responsibility for injury, loss or damage incurred by those attending this program. 

At the Shops programs are held in the Kidzone space at Maddington Central, located at the southern end of the centre, directly opposite Coles.
