How to start a business with an indoor playground or entertainment center?

Thinking about opening your own indoor playground or family entertainment center? The overall process can be broken down into manageable steps—and it’s simpler than you might expect. Our company has prepared a concise guide for those interested in entering this exciting industry:

1. Market Research

Gather essential information through market research. Identify key data about your local area where the business will operate. Calculate the investment required to launch your project and estimate expected revenue to reliably determine return on investment and potential profit.

Creating a business plan is highly recommended—it will help define your goals and establish profitability indicators.

2. Choose the Right Location

Select a location based on specific criteria that will support high visitor traffic and long-term success.

3. Design Your Playground

Define the space within your facility where the playground will be installed. Decide on the size of the structure, the play components it should include, how much space to allocate for free play, whether to add a toddler zone, and whether to include additional attractions or games.

If none of the existing models meet your needs, we can create a custom playground tailored to your specifications. Let us know what type of playground and equipment fits your project. Our indoor playgrounds are available in various colors, themes, sizes, levels, play components, and accessories.

4. Ordering and Production

Once you choose your playground and entertainment equipment, the official order is placed by signing a purchase agreement with detailed product specifications. Production begins only after receiving a deposit payment, which is made based on a properly issued invoice and confirmed with a tax document.

5. Preparing the Facility

While your playground is in production, you’ll have time to prepare and finalize your facility. When the playground is ready for delivery, we’ll notify you in advance. The equipment will be delivered on the agreed date.

6. Delivery

Upon delivery, we will either unload the goods or bring them directly to your facility. The delivery note includes all parts and components of the playground, itemized by product. Ownership of the goods transfers to the customer only after full payment. All items are delivered disassembled.

7. Installation

Installation is just as important as purchasing quality equipment. Our company guarantees professional assembly by qualified and experienced technicians. Installation takes place after delivery or at a time agreed upon with the customer. The duration of installation depends on the size and complexity of the model. We provide not only safe and reliable installation, but also attention to visual detail and aesthetics.

8. Grand Opening

After the grand opening of your indoor playground, our company offers post-sale support under warranty, promotional offers on selected products, and free ideas and upgrades for family entertainment centers—regularly updated on our website.
