If you are trying to figure out how the heck to entertain multi-aged children in Phoenix, Kids Empire might be your indoor playground! This playground has several spaces designated for kids of all ages. Younger kids will love the soft slides in the toy zone, while older kids will love tearing through the multi-story playground. Additionally, they have an on-site cafe where you can grab a convenient meal before heading out. It’s the perfect spot for a laid-back day.

Whiz Kids Playland is an indoor playground all about giving Phoenix families the best way to stay active! Since they first opened their doors, they’ve added a second location, giving you several spots where you can go when the temperature is hanging out in the triple digits. This is an amazing option for parents who need part-time care. You can book Drop’n Play sessions so your child can have fun while you get work done. They also offer Stay’n Play options where you can stick around and explore with your child.

The Little Play Avenue is my favorite indoor playground for younger Phoenix kids looking for a space to explore! It is beautifully decorated with miniature play stations where your child can play make-believe. They can tap into their imagination, so they put out fires at the fire station or go shopping at the grocery market. As they have the best time ever, you are going to be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy a coffee from the on-site cafe.

Luv 2 Play is a huge place where kids of all ages can have a day they’ll never forget! Their indoor playground has over 12,000 square feet available with different age zones where your child can safely play. The very youngest visitors will have soft furniture where they can crawl around and develop their fine motor skills. Meanwhile, older kids will go wild running through the massive playground and racing down the slides.
If you are looking for the best spot to escape the desert temperatures, these indoor playgrounds in Phoenix have you covered! Book your trip soon so you can have a happier bedtime tonight.
