Play Palooza is Bradford’s only dedicated indoor playground, located at 105 Holland Street East in the heart of town — a bright, screen-free adventure space designed for children from infancy through to age 10. Founded in early 2025 by local mom and entrepreneur Lubna Sharma, the facility was born from firsthand experience: Sharma moved to Bradford in 2019, had her children during the COVID-19 pandemic, and watched the town’s only play centre close, leaving families with nowhere to go. Play Palooza is her answer — a safe, welcoming, open-concept space where kids can explore and play freely while parents can sit, relax, and actually keep an eye on their children without chasing them across the room.

Play Palooza is a drop-in indoor play centre — no booking required for general visits, just show up and play. The open-concept layout means every corner of the space is visible from the seating area, giving parents peace of mind without constant supervision on the floor. Birthday parties and private events are also available, and when the facility is booked for a party, the space is dedicated to that group. A summer camp program rounds out the year-round offering, making Play Palooza a go-to destination for Bradford families across every season.

Play Zones & Attractions at Play Palooza Bradford

Double-Level Play Structure — Slides, Ladders & Climbing

The centrepiece of Play Palooza is a double-level play set featuring slides, ladders, and climbing elements — built with soft foam surfaces throughout so kids can move freely and fearlessly. The structure is designed to encourage active play and physical development for children of varying ages and abilities, with enough challenge for school-age kids while remaining accessible for younger explorers.

🎯 Recommended Age: 2 to 10 years

Dedicated Toddler Area — Soft Play for the Littlest Visitors

Younger children and babies have their own dedicated space with age-appropriate activities, ride-on cars, soft blocks, and sensory elements chosen specifically for infants and toddlers. The toddler zone gives the smallest guests room to explore at their own pace, away from the bustle of the main structure. Parents of babies and pre-walkers will find Play Palooza genuinely welcoming, not just tolerant of the youngest age group.

🎯 Recommended Age: 0 to 3 years

Ball Pit, Motorized Carousel & Imaginative Play

Play Palooza’s ball pit holds approximately 7,000 balls — a serious crowd-pleaser for kids of all ages. A motorized carousel adds a classic fairground touch that younger children especially love. Kitchen and shopping play sets encourage imaginative and role-based play, while a balance beam and seesaw round out the physical activity options. Every piece of equipment in the facility features soft foam surfaces, making the space as safe as it is fun.

Why Bradford Families Choose Play Palooza

Play Palooza was built by a parent who genuinely felt the gap in Bradford’s family infrastructure — and that origin shows in every detail. Owner Lubna Sharma brought a decade of health and safety experience in corporate HR and seven years in children’s camp programming into the design and operation of the space, and every staff member has direct experience working with children. The screen-free philosophy, the open-concept layout that gives parents visibility without helicopter parenting, the dedicated toddler area, the motorized carousel, and the 7,000-ball pit together make Play Palooza Bradford’s most complete indoor play centre. Since opening in early 2025, the venue has built a strong base of repeat visitors — with families returning week after week, even through winter snowstorms.
