Welcome to the world of SPARK POP®, where we're reimagining experiences and gifting for families. Amidst the chaos of raising children and watching their belongings multiply faster than they outgrow them, one Queensland mother dared to dream of a childhood filled not with clutter, but with enriching experiences that would shape lifelong memories.

SPARK POP was born— your no. 1 site to DISCOVER, BOOK + GIFT experiences for children and families in and around Australian capital cities.

In partnership with our activity providers, SPARK POP promises you:

• Price Match Guarantee: We'll match the genuine advertised price of any activity or attraction offered by the operator themselves.

• Instant Book: Look out for the "Instant Book" tag, indicating live availability with tickets delivered to you within 15 minutes of purchase.

• Free Exchange: Change your plans? No problem. With a minimum of 48 hours' notice, you can exchange your tickets for another experience available on our site.

This tool is your time-saving companion, offering seamless access to hundreds of activities, attractions, tours, and live events across Australia. With its user-friendly design, you can effortlessly explore a myriad of possibilities, filtering by location, age group, and interests to discover hidden gems you never knew existed.

What sets SPARK POP apart is our commitment to curating a diverse collection of the most unique and popular experiences, ensuring that both small and large businesses have an equal chance to connect with you and your family.

If you’re looking to educate, entertain, inspire and get kids active, and you don’t just want to look but actually book + gift amazing things to do for littles, teens and all in-betweens – you’ve found your ally in SPARK POP.

More than just a marketplace—it's a mission. A mission to make moments of joy, adventure, and connection as accessible as the latest toy craze. Our customers are fun seekers, explorers, memory makers and change makers who love a day trip, getting out with friends, family weekend getaways, or experiencing that next DREAM holiday adventure. SPARK POP offers a treasure trove of possibilities, from theme parks to wildlife encounters, and even wellness and beauty experiences.

When it comes to gifting, we believe in giving kids more adventures, not more stuff. Studies show that 50% of toys end up discarded within a year. That's why a SPARK POP Gift Card or an Experience Gift is the perfect solution for those who want to give lasting memories, whether they're near or far from their loved ones.

At the heart of SPARK POP lies a commitment to social responsibility. Certified by Social Traders and recognized as a Queensland Social Enterprise, we're dedicated to untrashing playrooms, landfills, and oceans from harmful plastics by promoting sustainable play options for our children.

Founded by Queensland working mum of two, Melissa Soutar, SPARK POP understands the challenges of balancing work and family life. Melissa's own experiences have fuelled her passion for creating opportunities for families to bond over fun, adventure, and connection, because at the end of the day, it's the colourful memories we create together that truly matter and will be remembered.

Join us on this journey of putting FUN + ADVENTURE in family's pockets —one unforgettable experience at a time. Let's make it POP!

We'd love to hear from you!
