This Floriade season, spring is taking a playful twist in Tuggeranong. For the first time, South.Point is joining the celebrations of Floriade: Floriade About Town, and they’re doing it in style — with a never-before-seen rooftop activation that’s as colourful as it is fun.
From Saturday 27 September to Sunday 12 October, the South.Point rooftop will transform into Spring Putt Putt, a custom-built, open-air mini golf course bursting with floral charm. Designed exclusively for Floriade, the course combines playful obstacles, blooming backdrops, and spring-inspired twists that make every putt feel like part competition, part photo opportunity.
Whether you’re a mini golf pro or a total beginner, Spring Putt Putt is made for everyone. Families will love the friendly rivalry, friends can turn it into a fun challenge, and couples can add it to their spring date days. Even that one mate who insists on keeping score will be kept entertained. The best part? It’s completely free to play.
A first for South.Point
Spring Putt Putt marks several “firsts” for the centre. It’s the first time South.Point has hosted a rooftop activation, and the first time the centre has participated in Floriade About Town. It’s also the only mini golf course of its kind in Canberra, custom-designed and built for this event alone.
Carole Arulantu, Marketing Manager at South.Point, says the activation is about more than just mini golf.
“Spring Putt Putt is about celebrating the season in a way that brings people together,” she explains. “We wanted to create something fun, social and memorable that gives the community a reason to visit and stay longer. It’s playful, it’s floral, and it’s a Floriade experience you won’t find anywhere else in Canberra.”
The course takes around 20 minutes to complete, making it an easy addition to your day. Access is simple too, with the Rooftop Car Park connected to the main shopping levels via travelators and stairs, plus plenty of wayfinding signage to guide visitors straight to the action.
More than mini golf
Of course, the fun doesn’t have to stop once you’ve sunk your last putt. South.Point is home to over 180 retailers, from well-known national brands to boutique finds. Shoppers can discover fashion, homewares, beauty, electronics, gifts and everyday essentials all in one convenient location.
If you’re hungry, Anketell Street offers everything from quick café bites to relaxed meals, while The Point — South.Point’s dedicated sports and dining hub — is the place to catch a live game, enjoy entertainment, or share a casual dinner with friends. Add in Limelight Cinemas, regular community events, and family-friendly amenities, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a full day out.
Why visit South.Point this spring?
For locals, South.Point is a familiar favourite with plenty to see and do. For visitors from across Canberra and beyond, it’s a destination worth the trip — now with the added draw of a rooftop mini golf course that brings Floriade to life in an unexpected way.
So gather your friends, round up the kids, or plan a spring date. Make the trip south, putt among the petals, and enjoy a rooftop experience that combines fun, flowers and Floriade magic — only at South.Point.
