What makes it 87% Kids-Friendly: Henry’s play area, kids menu, free lawn games and kids-eat-free night make the club very child-friendly; however, late-night bar zones and raffles mean an early departure is wise.
Why 2–3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Allows time for a family meal, indoor play and lawn activities without rushing.
Henry’s Family Restaurant:
Dine with a view of the indoor play area while kids enjoy arcade games.
Tip: Arrive by 5:30 pm to secure a table near the play zone. Ask staff for a highchair.
The Yard:
Large grassed lawn with lawn games and big-screen sports.
Tip: Bring a picnic blanket and sunscreen. Order snacks and drinks from the outdoor bar.
Snapper at Jamison:
Quick-service fish and chips kitchen with kid-friendly meals.
Tip: Try the crumbed snapper and ‘whipper snapper’ meal for an easy, child-approved dinner.

I love coming to the Jamison Southern Cross Club! It is a great spot to gather with friends and family for a nice meal at a decent price. About 25 poker machines. Nice outdoor play set for children as well as an indoor children's arcade area. Great spot to bring younger kids who do not like sitting down for long periods of time!

Overpriced for the portion sizes. My partner and I decided to share a few things and we were impressed with how quickly things were brought out. Unfortunately, our veggies were hard along with the bao buns being tough and cold. This was a huge disappointment- especially considering the costs! The spring rolls also tasted like they had been cooked in stale oil. We had a go at everything but left wi...

I had a great first lunch here. The reception was really friendly, and the Italian Veal Osso Bucco I ordered was amazing—super tender and delicious. They suggested having it with bread rolls to soak up the sauce, but I was too full. The portion was huge! The coffee was good too, and all the staff were great, especially Anu, who knew a lot about the menu. I loved everything about this place and wil...
