1. Start With Ballocity — the Heart of Playtime 

Our multi-level Ballocity attraction is made for non-stop giggles. Toddlers and little explorers can climb, crawl, and slide through soft play tunnels surrounded by gentle air cannons and thousands of colorful foam balls. It’s active play without the stress — safe, enclosed, and designed for all-day fun. 

Pro Tip: Weekday mornings are the calmest time to visit Ballocity, giving your little one plenty of room to play freely before the after-school rush. 

2. Take Snack Breaks at The Food Lab Café 

Every great play session deserves a snack break! The Food Lab Café offers kid-friendly meals, snacks, and drinks so you don’t have to pack a thing. Parents can relax with a coffee or meal while the kids refuel for round two of playtime. 

3. Make It a Family Day — Big Kids Welcome Too! 

Got older siblings tagging along? The Fun Lab has something for everyone, from arcade games and laser tag to ropes courses and Valo Arena. Parents love that the whole family can play under one roof, while younger kids stick to the safe zones like Ballocity. 

4. Pack Light & Play Freely 

No need to lug around gear or worry about the weather. Our indoor playground offers climate-controlled comfort, stroller-friendly space, and easy access to restrooms and seating.
