Flying Squirrel Hamilton vs. Funvilla Ancaster: Which Indoor Play Place Wins?

If you’re a parent in Hamilton, you know the struggle: kids have endless energy, but Ontario weather doesn’t always cooperate. That’s where two indoor play heavyweights come in—Flying Squirrel Hamilton and Funvilla Ancaster. Both promise to save your sanity, but which one really delivers the most fun for your family? Let’s break it down.

The quick snapshot

• Flying Squirrel Hamilton
  Wall-to-wall trampolines, dodgeball, climbing, arcade games, and even a café to recharge. It’s a full-on adventure zone for kids, teens, and parents.
• Funvilla Ancaster
  A colourful indoor playground with climbing structures, ninja courses, and creative play spaces. It’s safe, fun, and geared toward kids who love to climb, crawl, and explore.

Safety & cleanliness

Parents, let’s be real—this is where we get picky.

• Funvilla Ancaster focuses on soft play zones, toddler-friendly structures, and staff supervision. It’s built with safety top of mind for younger kids.
• Flying Squirrel Hamilton takes safety seriously too, with German-engineered trampoline systems, padded surfaces, and trained staff to keep things running smoothly. Their team is also known for keeping everything clean—which is key when you’ve got kids bouncing around like popcorn.

Pricing & packages

Money matters, especially with more than one kid to entertain.

• Funvilla Ancaster: Pricing is straightforward—$14.99 for ages 1–3, $21.99 for ages 4+, and a Toddler Tuesday special at $11.99. Entry includes all attractions, so kids can enjoy everything without extra charges.
• Flying Squirrel Hamilton: Pricing is also simple and all-in. Rates are $23 for 60 minutes or $30 for 90 minutes, with toddler discounts at $14 for 60 minutes and $19 for 90 minutes. That covers every attraction in the park, from trampolines and dodgeball to climbing, Battlebeam, arcade, and more.

The takeaway? Pricing is nearly identical between Funvilla and Flying Squirrel. The difference comes down to what your kids want most—Funvilla leans toward slides, indoor play structures and creative play, while Flying Squirrel piles on variety, thrills, and big-energy attractions.

Atmosphere & overall vibe

• Flying Squirrel Hamilton: High-energy, music pumping, trampolines springing—it feels like stepping into a family-sized adrenaline rush.

The verdict: Why Flying Squirrel wins

Let’s be clear: Funvilla Ancaster is a strong choice for younger children. But Flying Squirrel Hamilton? That’s the place that grows with your family.

Here’s why:

• It works for all ages—toddlers, teens, and even parents.
  It’s more than trampolines—arcade, climbing, parkour, dodgeball, rope swing, and more.
• Parties are next level—from birthdays to group celebrations, they’ve got it covered.
  Peace of mind for parents—safety, cleanliness, and staff support make it stress-free.
• Convenience—Funvilla is about a 20-minute drive from Hamilton, while Flying Squirrel is right in the city.

Bottom line: Funvilla is fun, but Flying Squirrel Hamilton is epic. If you want a place where the whole family has a blast—not just the little ones—Flying Squirrel Hamilton is hands-down the better choice.
