TOP PICKS
Monkey Around (Market Mall)
Located by Guest Services, the indoor playground at Market Mall is an 1,800 square feet area called Monkey Around.
“It’s free and very good for toddlers,” says Ellen. “Although it does require socks and direct adult supervision.”
Joso’s Play and Learn Centre
Located on Symons Valley Rd N.W., Joso’s caters to children age 0 to 6-years-old.
“The facility’s smaller size means it’s easier to keep track of your kids,” says Ellen. “Occasionally, there are special guests such as magicians and clowns, and it’s a great deal during weekdays with special rates for community groups.”
Tommy K Play (northwest location)
Located on Sarcee Trail N.W. Tommy K Play is an indoor playground and entertainment centre catering to children age 0 to 12-years-old.
“It’s got great snacks and coffees for adults, and dedicated toddler and party areas,” says Ellen. “Also, it has a great range of things to do for older and younger kids.”
Shakers Calgary
Located on Venture Avenue S.E., Shakers Calgary is multi-attraction centre – but includes an indoor playground. $6.95 for unlimited access.
“It’s a great pick for family fun with a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities,” says Ellen. “Most attractions are all ages, meaning the whole family can play together. Annual passes are available for frequent visitors, admission ranges from $17.95 for indoor attractions to $27.95 for indoor and outdoor attractions.”
