A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to take Cara  and her cousin to Bugz to get a little preview of something very exciting. The time is finally here to share what the Bugz Playpark Balance Bug has delivered. Have a look:

OH-SO-HAPPY, thrilled, delighted, and smiling from ear to ear – Bugz PlayPark has listened to you and made changes that are healthy and new.

Growing healthy, happy children with back-to-basics nutrition and active play has been growing significantly over the years. We’ve seen the effects of high sugar and lack of raw, unprocessed foods and how these eating habits affect little people later on in life. Bugz has very much taken this to heart, and although they remain 100% committed to fun and play, with a few treats along the way, they’ve introduced a world of new menu options for the whole family.

Believing in the power of balance, Bugz has proudly revealed their latest in a long list of charming characters – the “Balance Bug’- whose job it is to ensure that the Park is both good fun and good for you in equal measure. He’s the ultimate reminder to parents to fuel the fun the right way for optimal energy and emotional wellbeing throughout the day. Bugz takes the opinions of their mom-family very seriously, and couldn’t ignore the requests for more in the way of raw foods, fresh juices and wholesome, hearty meals. But in true Bugz-style, the menu is both creative and compelling for the young who simply want FUN! FUN! And more FUN!

We were super excited to see (and taste) all the goodness …

Bugz added fresh juices to the menu and they are divine. I tried Rush of Red which is a blend of beetroot, carrot and apple. I will go to the playpark (on my own) just for that juice. Amazing!

There are a world of new, healthy options at the restaurant too and you are super spoiled for choice if you prefer a healthier lunch for yourself and the kids. The air-fried chicken strips are a kiddies favourite and I discovered a meal that I will have again and again. The warm veg chicken salad is to die for.

Bugz is an amazing party venue and now you can also choose a healthier party box for the big day if you’re worried that the sugar rush is going to be a bit too much to handle. I don’t blame you.

The Balance Bug also has his own dedicated area in the shop to point out all the healthier snacks.

One last word from Bugz:

We haven’t thrown out all sugary delights, we’ve even introduced a Bar One milkshake and a berry waffle that’s OH SO NICE! But our Balance Bug is taking us on a whole new journey as we deliver on our promise to you –

HEALTHY PLAY, THE FUN WAY!

Well done Bugz Playpark. See you this weekend!
