Why Investing in an Indoor Playground Is a Smart Business Decision

Opening an indoor playground or trampoline park isn’t just about slides, foam pits, and ninja courses—it’s about building a business that taps into one of the most reliable markets out there: families looking for safe, fun, year-round activities. With the right setup, an indoor play space can become a local hotspot, attract repeat visitors, and deliver strong returns. Here’s why it’s a smart move for investors and entrepreneurs.

Parents today are more focused than ever on giving their kids experiences rather than just things. Indoor playgrounds are booming because they:

• Offer safe play regardless of weather

• Fit perfectly inside shopping malls, FECs, and standalone spaces

• Appeal to wide age groups (toddlers, kids, teens, and even young adults for trampoline parks or ninja challenges)

In short, the demand is there, and it’s growing. Cities big and small are seeing more families with disposable income and a hunger for active entertainment.

One of the biggest strengths of an indoor playground investment is flexibility. You can shape your model based on your market:

• Ticket Sales: Daily admission, weekend pricing, or hourly passes

• Memberships: Monthly or annual passes create steady recurring revenue

• Birthday Parties: Often the most profitable segment, with themed packages, decorations, and catering upsells

• Add-Ons: Cafés, retail corners, or combo packages with arcade games or VR

For example, a trampoline park can sell family packages on weekdays and then host teen night events on weekends. A soft play indoor playground in a mall might focus more on toddler memberships and birthday parties.

So, how much money can you actually make? Of course, it depends on your size and location, but here’s a rough guideline:

• Small indoor playground (100–200㎡): $5,000–10,000 monthly revenue

• Medium trampoline park (300–500㎡): $20,000–40,000 monthly revenue

• Large-scale FEC (1000㎡+): $100,000+ monthly revenue, especially with parties and food sales

Many operators find that they can recover their initial investment in 18–36 months if they plan carefully and market actively.

Outdoor playgrounds shut down when it rains, snows, or gets too hot. Indoor playgrounds? Always open. That makes them incredibly attractive for malls and family entertainment centers because they:

• Drive consistent traffic even in off-seasons

• Encourage longer stays (kids play, parents shop or dine)

• Support partnerships with schools, daycares, and sports clubs

This steady flow of visitors translates directly into reliable income.

Start small, think big. Many owners launch with a soft play zone or trampoline area, then expand into:

• Rope courses and climbing walls

• Interactive digital play panels

• Party rooms or event spaces

• Full-scale FECs with arcades and cafés

The beauty is that equipment can often be added in phases. With the right partner (like QILONG), you can design a layout that grows with your business.
