When kids are stressed from school and responsibilities, need a physical outlet and the weather isn’t cooperating, this inflatable playground in north Calgary is a guaranteed hit for making them feel amazing. Here are seven reasons you’ll love Flying Squirrel’s incredible indoor inflatable playground.
The obstacle slide
Forget the old "no climbing" rule on slides. At Flying Squirrel in north Calgary, things are turned upside down with an obstacle slide that’s designed for climbing. And as a bonus, it’s way more fun and challenging than your average slide. The obstacle slide isn’t just smooth sailing: it includes tire-shaped obstacles and handholds to climb up—offering a great opportunity for a physical challenge.
The wrecking ball
Usually we encourage our kids to be gentle, problem solve and talk things through. But sometimes they need an epic battle. That’s where the wrecking ball comes in—kids stand on platforms and try to knock each other off using a wrecking ball. Don’t worry—it’s all inflatable! It’s safe, it’s fun, and it teaches them balance and strategy in the cushiest way possible.
The warped wall
Ever feel like your kid has so much energy that they could scale a wall? Well, here’s their chance to do just that. In Flying Squirrel north Calgary’s inflatable playground, there are three ramps of varying heights—known as the warped wall—that kids can run up to reach the top. It’s the ultimate physical challenge where kids can work on learning about momentum, balance, strength and stamina. It’s not all hard work though, the climb up is followed by a fun slide back down. If you’ve ever seen sports entertainment reality shows like American Ninja Warrior where contestants try to run up really steep ramps to get to the top, that will give you some idea of what this obstacle is like (just imagine an inflatable version for kids).
The toothbrush
Finally, a toothbrush you won’t have to argue with your kids about using (and this one is just as good for their health as the regular kind). This inflatable playground obstacle in north Calgary is filled with long, inflatable tubes that pop up from the ground, resembling bristles on a toothbrush. It’s a true sensory delight for kids, where they can burn some pent up physical energy, hide and pop out, and surprise their friends.
That’s the ticket
