hop! skip! jump! Indoor Play Space is Nova Scotia’s largest indoor playground — a 10,400 sq ft facility in Halifax’s Bayers Lake district, built by parents for kids and families. A 3,500 sq ft, three-level play structure anchors the space, alongside a dedicated toddler zone, a full café, and three party rooms. It’s been a Halifax staple since opening and remains one of the most feature-packed indoor play venues in Atlantic Canada.

The Play Structure

The main play structure spans 3,500 sq ft across three levels, featuring a ball blaster arena, spider climbing tower, wave slides, soft climbing wall, zero gravity ball table, and a ball pool. Younger visitors have their own dedicated toddler zone with a spinning palm tree, space spinner, balloon carnival, trampoline, and animal merry-go-round. Socks are required for all visitors in the play area — adults included. Socks are available for purchase at reception.
