Natural Perfume Making Class
Every woman wants a signature scent, but why not allow Mum to create that for herself? This perfume-making class shuns the chemicals and synthetic ingredients found in typical perfumes.

Mother’s Day Action-Packed Activities
Kingpin
Mum might need a break, but if you’re looking for a way to include the entire family, bowling might just be the perfect way to cater to the whole crowd.

It’s a great day out, plus there’s food available if you fancy a bite to eat and a choice of delicious cocktails and mocktails.

Skydiving
If your Mum is a bit of an adrenaline junkie, then this might be the perfect surprise this Mother’s Day. Send her off on her own, make it a couples’ day, or take the entire family!

iFly Brisbane is conveniently located at the Westfield centre and there are different packages to choose from. There are also group rates available if you’re taking a crowd.
