Where can I park to get to Kids Day Out?

Book A Bay. Across the easter weekend, a pre booking rate of $17 is available for the MCEC car park and $18 for the South Wharf Retail (DFO) Car Park.
Customers can obtain these rates by going online, entering their preferred car park + entry and exit times. They then pre-pay for the parking and use their nominated bank card to enter and exit the car park on the day. This can be done at https://bookabay.wilsonparking.com.au/.

Wilsons will also be implementing the public holiday flat rate for any “drive-up” customers at both car parks, which is $22 for the whole day.
