The Mind Museum (BGC)

For: Curious minds, science lovers, and hands-on learners

This one’s a classic, and for good reason. The Mind Museum is an interactive science theme park where your kids can tinker, press buttons, walk through space, and even see a live chemistry show. And see a dinosaur!

✅ Pros:

  • Super hands-on, with exhibits about space, tech, the human body, and more.
  • Clean, safe, and air-conditioned
  • Located near High Street Mall and and Central Square for walking around

❌ Cons:

  • Not the best choice for super active kids who just want to run and jump.
  • Limited food options inside.
  • Can get very crowded on weekends with school field trips

Parent Tip: Plan to explore for at least 2 hours. Book tickets online to skip the lines.

Why go? It’s STEM disguised as fun — and your kids won’t even notice they’re learning.

Kidzooona (Uptown Mall, BGC)

For: Younger kids or tweens who still love pretend play and obstacle crawling

Kidzoona is the magical land of ball pits, obstacle courses, and roleplay stations. It’s a safe space where kids can pretend to be doctors, chefs, or cashiers. Activity structures like poles and walls are padded for safe play.

✅ Pros:

  • Great for the imagination. Lots of areas for pretend play and physical activity.
  • Safe and supervised — and located inside the mall.
  • Perfect if you have a mix of ages in the family. Ideal for 4–10 year olds.

❌ Cons:

  • Teens may find it too kiddie.
  • Play sessions are limited to ~1 hour.

Parent Tip: Socks required for both kids and adults! Bring an extra shirt — play gets sweaty. And wear comfy clothes because you may need to crawl into a ball pit or two.

Why go? If your younger kid still loves imaginative play, this is just gold.

For: High-energy jumpers, future gymnasts, and parents who don’t mind a little bounce themselves

Wall-to-wall trampolines? WiiJump is where your kids can literally bounce off the walls (in the best way). WiiJump is an indoor trampoline park that packs big fun for little (and not-so-little) legs. It’s a total workout for the whole family.

✅ Pros:

  • Wall-to-wall trampolines and foam pits for endless energy release.
  • Clean, well-supervised, and conveniently located in Venice Grand Canal Mall.
  • Great for family-friendly competitions and mid-air photo ops.

❌ Cons:

  • Jump sessions are time-based — and your kids will keep begging for extensions.
  • Gets crowded on weekends, especially in the afternoons.

Parent Tip: Grip socks required! Bring your own or buy them at the counter. Pack an extra shirt and a water bottle for those sweaty kids.

Why go? A guaranteed energy-burner. And great for tweens who love movement.

Wetpark Adventure Lagoon (Venice Grand Canal Mall)

For: Water park play without the sunburn

It’s not often you find an indoor water park and this one’s right inside a mall! With water slides, splash zones, and obstacle-style inflatables, it’s a hit with younger teens and adventurous tweens (and Dads, too, for some reason).

✅ Pros:

  • Air-conditioned indoor water play!
  • Great for younger teens who still love a good water fight.
  • Not too crowded compared to outdoor water parks.

❌ Cons:

  • Smaller space = fewer big slides.
  • Not ideal if you/your kids don’t like getting fully wet (go all-in!)

Parent Tip: Bring swimsuits, towels, a waterproof phone pouch, and extra clothes. Lockers are available, but always have a dry bag handy!

Why go? It’s a unique way to beat the heat and stay active, even during a rainy weekend!

SuperPark McKinley (Venice Grand Canal Mall)

For: Ultimate all-around active fun

This massive Finnish-origin indoor activity park has obstacle courses, trampolines, basketball zones, and interactive simulators. It’s great fun for all members of the family. We even see couples on a date — it’s that fun!

✅ Pros:

  • Variety keeps kids engaged for hours. There’s something for everyone.
  • Well-maintained and safety-focused.
  • You can join the games — or cheer from the sidelines with a coffee.

❌ Cons:

  • Entry fee is a bit steep (P450/person)
  • Can get packed on weekends and holidays

Parent Tip: SuperPark Grip Socks are required at all times inside the activity area. Buy at the counter or bring yours if you’ve been here before. Avoid skirts, and tie up long hair.

Why go? This one actually gets both kids and adults off their screens — and into the action.

R.O.X. Indoor Climbing (Bonifacio High Street)

For: Future mountaineers and kids who like a challenge

This one’s more low-key, but it’s a hidden gem. R.O.X. offers indoor climbing walls for beginners and pros alike. And nothing boosts you or your kid’s confidence like making it higher than they’ve ever climbed before.

✅ Pros:

  • Great confidence-building activity. Teaches balance, focus, and strength.
  • Coaches are available for guidance — just ask!
  • Fun alternative to typical mall outings.

❌ Cons:

  • Not for the faint of heart or those afraid of heights.
  • May not hold younger kids’ attention for long.
  • Limited wall space.

Parent Tip: Wear closed shoes and stretchy clothes. Book a slot early — the space is small and fills up fast.

Why go? It’s a quiet win for brave, determined kids. And super cool photos.

LazerXtreme (Market! Market!, BGC)

For: Friendly competition and fast-paced fun

Laser tag never goes out of style, and LazerXtreme has a futuristic arena with lots of hiding spots and glow-in-the-dark action. Nothing says family love like outpointing one another and bragging about it for days.

✅ Pros:

  • High-energy and super fun for all ages.
  • Encourages teamwork (or healthy competition).
  • Teens just love it.

❌ Cons:

  • Game sessions are short (15-20 minutes).
  • Can get competitive real quick!

Parent Tip: Wear dark clothes to blend into the arena better (seriously, it helps!). Book ahead — walk-ins can be a gamble.

Why go? Pure adrenaline fun — and a great way to settle any sibling rivalry!

Enter10 Bowling (Venice Grand Canal Mall)

For: Chill competition and family bonding with a touch of flair

Bowling at Enter10 is not your average alley. Think blacklight, pop music, comfy couches, and high-tech scoring. It even has archery, axe throwing(!) and a shooting gallery. It’s perfect for a family match — and yes, bowling bumpers are available for anyone who needs them.

✅ Pros:

  • Fun, low-pressure activity that all ages can enjoy.
  • Chill lounge vibes — great for taking breaks between rounds.
  • Food and drinks available while you bowl.

❌ Cons:

  • Limited number of lanes — go early or reserve.
  • Not super physical, so teens looking for action might want to pair it with another activity.

Parent Tip: Wear socks for bowling shoes and pack a light jacket — it’s chilly in there! Great spot to cool off after running around the mall.

Why go? Great for casual family competition, rainy-day hangouts, or post-meal fun after your gondola ride.
