The Oracle for families

Whether you’re popping in for a quick bite or making a day of it, The Oracle is set up to make family time that little bit easier. That’s why we’ve made The Oracle as family-friendly as possible, with thoughtful touches that make your visit smoother for you, and more fun for them.

Easy parking for families

Getting little ones in and out of the car isn’t always easy – especially with prams, bags and car seats in the mix.

That’s why we’ve made parking simpler, with over 70 larger, dedicated family spaces across both of our car parks.

You’ll have extra room to lift car seats, sort seatbelts and get everyone in comfortably. Just follow the signs when you arrive to find the nearest bays.

Family Room

Need a moment to pause? Our Family Room, tucked away just to the left of the customer toilets on the Riverside Level, is a calm and welcoming space for families.

Inside, you’ll find everything you need to make your visit easier:

  • A private feeding area for quiet moments with your baby
  • Clean and comfortable changing spaces
  • An interactive play and reading zone to keep little ones happy while you catch your breath

Whether you’re regrouping or recharging, we can help make your trip a little more relaxed.


Feeding time? Sorted.

Whether it’s a quick snack or a sit-down family meal, we’ve made eating out with little ones as easy as can be. Because when the kids are happy, mealtimes really can be a treat.

  • Highchairs are available at all of our restaurants, so you’re always good to go
  • Most venues offer baby changing facilities and bottle-warming if you need them
  • And for an extra helping hand, Las Iguanas offers free organic baby food – just ask your server

Fun for little ones

Keep the kids entertained while you relax:

  • Play 9 – a free interactive play area packed with educational games, located on the Lower Mall near Fuel Juice Bar
  • Pizza-making parties at Pizza Express – ideal for birthdays
  • Vue Cinema’s Mini Mornings – affordable kids’ screenings every Saturday morning and during school holidays

Pushchair & wheelchair hire

We’re here to help make every step of your visit a little easier.

  • Pushchair hire is available free of charge from Shopmobility, perfect for little ones from newborn up to 4 years old
  • Wheelchairs are also available to hire for free – you’ll just need to bring two forms of ID
