4 Best Indoor Playgrounds in the Netherlands

What is an indoor playground?

Indoor playgrounds, also known as indoor play centers, are playgrounds located in the interior environment. They are specifically designed for kids to play in and have tremendous fun with. The soft-contained structure and play equipment are wrapped in soft foam to absorb the impact when children fall or bounce around. These are best suitable for children from 0-12 years. 

The play equipment is covered with a soft layer of foam, as well as the floor so that your child does not get hurt if he falls or bumps. In addition, there are often playing blocks with which you can build high towers, there is a ball pit and there are various trampolines. In short: it is one big play paradise for children which is full of colorful balls and soft materials. 

Baby Section:

There is a separate section for babies who can crawl or just lie down on their tummy. That section is also best for babies who just learned to walk. 

For Parents:

For parents, there is usually a huge sitting area where they can sit while children can play. An advantage that this place also has restaurants that provide basic snacks and drinks.  

Entrance Fee:
