Indoor Playgrounds

Indoorplaygrounds are playgrounds located inside of some type of building. They can be coupled or combined with an outdoor play area as well. They are specifically designed for kids between 3 months to 12 years and provide lots of fun and play options. This popular concept born in the US during the Nineties quickly spread around the globe turning into a booming industry enjoying an immense popularity worldwide. The original “single indoor tubular play structure” concept has today fully evolved into more complexes children play centers containing  multiple play areas to attract and cater the needs different age groups. Each play zone is fitted with specific indoor playground equipment designed for the proper age class. Generally indoor play areas are created to serve children from 3 months to 12 years but they can be adjusted to respond to your local audience needs, a special positioning against your local competition or your commercial goals.


Indoor playgrounds can vary from a small indoor play park mostly composed of a main play structure and soft play equipment area to full scale indoor play paradise covering thousands of square meters and including a diversity of “play zones”.
The “indoor play structure” also frequently called indoor tubular frame or soft play area is an essential component for any kids play center. Their scale can vary from a simple small soft play structure with most basic play events such as ball pit and slide all the way to complexes multi-level mega play labyrinth filled with tons of play events very diverse such as aerial runway, pivoting door, balance beams, punching balls, foam ball shooters, giant balls, and all sort of obstacles to climb, slide, crawl. These more advanced indoor play systems can also include custom-made theming elements either in 2D or 3D.


Children need to develop in order to become adults. There is a lot that needs to be developed and some of it can be done so in an indoor play centre. Children can develop their muscles by running around for hours on end in a countless number of different pieces of play equipment. This means that their bodies will be prepared for sports in the playground when they go to school, and could act as the building blocks for a true athlete. Many parents are eager for their children to be active and an indoor play centre is the best way to encourage activeness in children.


Indoor play centers are beginning to introduce sensory play. The equipment has been designed in order to get children to engage their senses and learn how light and colors work. This equipment can only develop children to a certain level, however getting them up to this level is imperative as it sets out a good understanding for children to then go on and learn at school. Parents want nothing more than for their children to develop well, and this will help them go on to learn information much quicker because they've had a good start in learning.

A child's development is one of the fundamental concerns of a parent. If a child isn't learning well enough at a school then parents will move them to somewhere else. Taking children to indoor play centers while they are young is great to give parents time off of their feet and also develop a child's mind and body. There are many different ways in which children can learn at an indoor play centre, some levels of learning are beyond what most adults even understand, but all of this development is essential to help children grow into adults.

BENEFITS OF SOFT PLAY


Play is the primary way that children are able to learn and it fuels the healthy development of young children.  Research has shown that children who are regularly active in play develop well on many levels including physical, emotional, mental and social. This theory dates back to commended psychologists such as Freud and continues to be strongly supported by child development experts. 

Play is a vital part of a child’s development and it’s an essential part of growing up. It helps them to interpret, imagine, create, interact with others, explore, be fast, be slow, be loud and be quiet. 
It’s through play that children learn about the world around them.

Increasing Trends of Soft play

Soft play is a great environment for kids and children to develop and learn new motor skills in a fun and exciting environment, while also allowing them to interact with other children. Research shows that active and exploratory play is a good way to encourage children to enjoy physical exercise.
There are lots of fun toys and playing apparatus to keep children entertained for hours including ball pools, slides, rope bridges, crawl tubes and more. There are playing facilities for children of all ages from baby playpens through to climbing frames for older kids.
Soft play centers often use exciting equipment that encourages kids to be creative, use their imagination and get involved in exploratory play. They can run, jump, bounce and catch balls, all within in a safe and happy environment. Through this physical play, it will help them to develop agility, balance and improve their co-ordination. They learn to take risks in a forgiving atmosphere and the experience is enormously beneficial. 


Soft play also encourages role playing and other imaginative activities that just get them thinking and it also provides a safe play area within a controlled environment. 
The soft play apparatus in play centers is designed to be soft so that it is safe for children to play on. Rigid structures usually are covered with padding with similar soft matting on the floor.
 At soft play centers, there are a variety of different activities for children to get involved in and they may be located on different levels, giving lots of space for your child to explore. The centre may include climbing frames, obstacle courses, building blocks, slides, ball pools, crawl tubes, rope brides, inflatables and nets to scramble across. It’s the chance for children to dive in and go exploring on their own, with friends or interact with other children who are there playing. 


Children can also play party games such as giant snakes and ladders, giant connect four and play on our space hoppers.
Studies show that active play aids a child’s physical, mental, social and emotional well-being as they mature. Soft play centers such as The Big Tops are among the most complete and safe ways for kids to develop.
A child with a developed sense of danger will be more comfortable climbing an indoor frame with a cushioned landing, for example, than an outdoor structure. Since climbing, when done safely, is a form of exercise that develops coordination and limb strength, it’s an important activity for a child to practice.
A youngster’s physical and emotional health set the path for their future development, so now is the times to set your child up for the healthiest and happiest life available by letting them play often!
