Whether you’re planning a drop-in visit, a birthday party, or a group event, it’s one of Calgary’s most expansive indoor family entertainment venues.

Attractions at The Big Box Calgary NE

Leisure Lagoon Indoor Playground & Inflatable Park

The flagship attraction — an 18,000 sq ft soft play structure combined with an 8,000 sq ft inflatable park, totalling 26,000 sq ft of interconnected play space. Multi-level tunnels, climbing nets, obstacle courses, countless slides (twisty, straight, roller, and a giant tube slide), and a towering two-storey centrepiece net structure make up the soft play area. The inflatable park — branded Bouncy Beach — adds a separate zone of large-scale inflatables with obstacle courses and slides. A dedicated toddler section within Leisure Lagoon keeps the youngest visitors safely separated from bigger kids. General admission includes unlimited all-day access to both the soft play and inflatable areas.

On-The-Fly! Aerial Ropes Course

An 8,500 sq ft, two-level aerial obstacle course with 28 rope obstacles — one of the most distinctive attractions at any indoor playground in Calgary. Participants clip into a full harness and navigate the maze of rope challenges at height, with spectacular views of the facility from above. Each visit offers a different challenge as you choose your own route through the 28 obstacles. Closed-toe shoes and form-fitting athletic clothing are required. Children under 7 must be accompanied by an adult on the course. Purchased separately from general admission.

The Virtual Box – VR Gaming

An immersive virtual reality gaming zone with multiple VR setups catering to different age groups and experience levels — from younger kids trying VR for the first time to older players looking for a more intense experience. A standout offering that sets the NE location apart from the SE location, which does not currently feature VR. Purchased separately from general admission.

The Happy Bumper Cars

High-tech interactive bumper cars available for kids from age 3 — one of the few bumper car experiences in Calgary accessible to very young children. Parents can ride alongside kids, making it a shared experience for the whole family. Available as single rides or multi-ride passes. Purchased separately from general admission.

1 UP! Arcade

More than 35 arcade games, including redemption games, skill games, toddler ride games, and claw machines. Arcade credits never expire, so any unused balance rolls over to your next visit. On select days, arcade game credits go double — check current promotions at thebigbox.ca/calgary-ne/promo-pass. Purchased separately from general admission.
