Indoor playgrounds are where the adults can finally take a seat (unless your child won’t stop asking you to go down the slide repeatedly) and the kids can go all out on the bouncy houses or ball pits. While indoor playgrounds are a relatively new concept, it has quickly risen in popularity due to its educational factor and has now evolved into many different themed spaces.
So, which indoor playground should I bring my kid to? From aquamarine to safari-themed and adult to toddler-friendly playgrounds, this list covers them all!
