Calgary Indoor Play Areas

When it's too cold, too wet, too snowy or too windy to get the kids to burn off the energy outside, it's time to head for one of the many indoor play areas in and around Calgary. Many of them have a snack bar, or combine coffee shop with play area, so parents can get a caffeine fix while the kids burn off steam!

Bo Bebe

Where: 208, 70 Shawville Blvd. SE
Email: info@bobebe.com

Designed for crawlers and brand new walkers this is drop-in unstructured play. Contact Bo Bebe for rates and times.

Coffee & S'cream

Where: 555 Northmount Drive NW Phone: 403-210-2020

Coffee and Scream is full service coffee shop with a separate play area. It is an excellent place for little ones to burn off some steam. The sandwiches, soups and other goodies are freshly made to order and there are a plethora of specialty coffee options, not to mention the 27 ice cream flavours.

In the play area there are a number of climbing structures and a separate small baby area.

I have to say the best feature about Coffee and Scream (apart from the huge windows that let in a ton of sunlight) is the "car track." On the perimeter of the play area there is a track full of ride on cars, motorbikes and push toys that the 2 and 3 year olds love. My little guy spent two glorious hours running in a circle in a Diego car. He completely passed out in his car seat on the ride home. With that said..parents of younger children who are just learning to walk may find they will have to supervise their child carefully so they don't get bowled over by the traffic.
