Operating since 2000, this fiercely independent, privately owned bookshop is a sanctuary for local readers. Helmed by a former early childhood educator, the store places a massive specialty focus on children's literature, young adult fiction, and unique dyslexia-friendly titles. Alongside mainstream new releases, the shop prides itself on an eclectic, highly curated mix of remaindered bargains, local Canberra authors, and indie graphic novels. The staff are incredibly passionate and offer excellent tailored recommendations.

Closed since 2024. Canberra's only waterpark that opened in 1969 as a simple public pool. At one point in time, it only contained a kids pool and a simple 50-metre pool, but the venue has since expanded and features five pools and nine waterslides (sure, it's not a lot when you compare it to the Gold Coast, but it's Canberra, a small, inland capital city, not a party beachside city).
