’101 Things to do in Oakville’ with Kids

1. Indoor Playgrounds for kids in Oakville.

** Update – April, 2013: Thank you to everyone that has visited and commented on this post. I never thought it would end up being one of my most popular ever, but it is! I’ve updated this page as a number of indoor play places have closed or changed since the original posting. Please keep your tips, thoughts and finds coming – us parents need all the help we can get! Cheers,  Ryan**

It’s a rainy, spring day in Oakville today. What better way to kick of our 101 Things to do in Oakville than with a perfect rainy day activity in Oakville – Indoor Playgrounds for the kiddies.

For Kids:

Pretty well all indoor playgrounds or play centres have very cool, colourful climbing structures with slides, tunnels, tubes and look outs. Some even have more than one or integrated obstacles courses. For toddlers or crawling infants there are separate areas with cushy padded play mats and age appropriate toys. Many indoor playgrounds try to cater to the older kids with rock climbing walls/areas, air hockey tables and video game systems.

Whatever their age, indoor playgrounds in Oakville are a great place for children to burn off some steam, have a birthday party, socialize and play with other kids.

For Parents:

It’s not all about the kids anymore – No longer do parents have to stand for hours or sit on uncomfortable benches and watch their kids play.

Indoor playgrounds are realizing that parents are more likely to keep bringing their kids back if there are amenities for them too. Many of Oakville’s play centres have parent’s lounges with comfy couches and eating areas for parents to socialize while their kids play. Some of the more progressive play centres offer free wireless internet access (wi-fi), flat screen TVs, fresh coffee and healthy snacks.

Here’s a list of Oakville’s indoor playgrounds:

    Kidsportsplex is a great place to bring your kids to play some fun sports games. They have an indoor multi-gym and sports cages where you score points and win prizes. There are batting cages, hockey shoot-out, pitching, basketball, and soccer cages as well as some cool gaming tables and fun video games. It’s really a place that you can bring the entire family to have some fun. There’s even some creative and fun arts and crafts activities.

    I had a birthday party there earlier this year and all of the kids and parents loved it – the staff is accommodating and friendly and there are so many things for the kids to do. The parents and kids loved it, my boys said it was the best birthday party they ever had! We have been there since then to drop-in and have some fun with kids.

    Excellent source of information! I agree with your article, actually I think people should think in this way and should give more emphasis to indoor playground equipments.

    Busy Bodies is still around;
    Funtastic is closed;

    Another indoor place is Little Rascals, Speers Road/4th Line area, opened 2011;

    A new Art Studio for kids is Speckles Art Studio, grand opening 22 June 2012 – I know it’s not an indoor playground but looks like it offers lots for kids.

    KidSportsPlex is another great spot for kids to play indoor sports, air hockey, foosball, video games, etc. They have sports cages which include mini batting cages, and you don’t need tokens for them – it’s unlimited play during your drop-in time.
