An indoor playground is an ideal spot for kids to release energy and have fun. But before you go into investing in one, you must be sure you’re making the right decision. This is why we’ve composed a list of 12 questions to ask yourself before you buy an indoor playground. Let’s get started.
To find a reliable supplier for your indoor playground, check their years of expertise and see if they have certifications. Make sure the material used in construction matches those specifications so you don’t create any hazardous situations in the play area during use.
Check the quality of the equipment they supply. It is recommended that a 2.0 - 3.25 thickness of a galvanized steel pipe be used. Secondly, it should be made with the hot-dip galvanizing process. This makes it corrosion-resistant and less susceptible to rusting.
The cost of an indoor playground varies by factors such as size, features, and materials. Here are points to consider:
Site rental: The average expense for an indoor playground is around 60 square meters or $7.5K monthly rent. However, if you want something more significant, your price per month goes up.
Play equipment: Prices for play equipment depend on the size selection and any add-ons, such as additional slides you may wish to include.
Shipping: The cost to ship your play equipment depends on how heavy the items are and where you want them to be delivered. The more the product, the higher the shipping rate.
Store decoration: Aesthetics and creativity will incur more cost than simple designs.
Compare prices from several suppliers to know which one will fit your budget and give you value for your money.
When choosing the ideal location for your indoor playground, consider shopping malls, supermarkets, and schools. These areas have high foot traffic and will help you generate revenue. It is also good to consider a nearby parking lot, where your indoor playground is easily accessible by public transportation.
The ideal size for your indoor playground is around 100-200 square meters. However, if you have high traffic and many children coming in, 300 square meters and above might be more suitable. Additionally, you may also add a 10-square-meter playground to a restaurant, in case you have one.
Furthermore, consider consumption levels before you buy an indoor playground because high demand can lead to struggles in finding more floor space for kids to play freely. If there is a large flow of people and you have more capital, then you can build an entertainment center.
The flooring and decoration of your indoor playground can be customized to suit your preferred color or theme. Here are customization options to consider:
Brand colors and logo integration
Themed environments, including jungle, space, ocean, city, fantasy, etc.
Educational or STEM-inspired play elements
Cultural or regional design adaptation
If you have a larger space, design fees will be incurred at our discretion, but at an affordable price.
Here are a few planning tips you need before investing in a playground:
Market and Target Audience: Understand the demographics of your area and the age group you intend to use the playground for. You can decide to have a dedicated toddler zone (0-3 years) and separate areas for older kids (5-12 years)
Amenities: Consider if you’ll be having parents’ lounges, restrooms, and a cafeteria.
Engaging Equipment: Consider if your playground will include a variety of activities, including slides, climbing nets, and interactive panels to keep children engaged.
Maintenance schedule: Have a strict daily, weekly, or monthly cleaning and maintenance schedule.
Here are the daily checks and cleaning you should do for your indoor playground:
Wipe the high-contact surface areas like the buttons, handrails, and slides with a mild soap and water solution.
Clear the floor of debris and litter with a vacuum.
Look for signs of damage, vandalism, or tripping hazards.
Here is a deep routine cleaning you should do on a weekly basis:
Use a non-toxic, EPA-approved disinfectant to sanitize surfaces.
Wash slides, climbing structures, and seating areas.
Deep-clean balls by soaking in disinfectant in mesh bags.
Here is a monthly thorough inspection for indoor playground maintenance:
Tighten screws and bolts for secure mounting.
Inspect components for cracks, rust, or tears.
Lubricate hinges, springs, and other moving parts with the right lubricant.
Generally, an indoor playground does not survive high commercial traffic for long. But equipment can last from 8 to 20 years, depending on various durability factors. For example, quality material, usage, and maintenance affect durability. Other factors include high-density foam padding, anti-wear materials, reinforced joints, and connectors.
The durability of indoor playground equipment also depends on regular inspections and proper installation to prevent rapid wear and tear.
With the right supplier, the installation process can be easy and clear. Find out the availability of installation drawings, on-site installation support, reference material, including videos, after-sales support, and installation timeline.
Indoor playground equipment is made with cutting-edge technology to ensure durability and high-quality.
After-sales support includes replacement and availability of spare parts to speed up instalation process so you can get your business up and running.
Here are several revenue streams from an indoor playground:
Entry tickets are either hourly or unlimited.
Birthday party packages
Group bookings or school visits
Food or beverage partnerships
Add-on attractions
There are several benefits to investing in an indoor playground. You take care of children’s needs and attract new customers who want fun activities in their area.
