Every Belgrade neighborhood seems to have an igraonica, the indoor play center where kids climb, slide and jump in ball pits while parents sit with a coffee a few steps away. Many double as birthday party venues, and some add a toddler corner or a garden for warmer days. Here's what we checked, from three-level mazes and laser tag arenas to quieter rooms for the smallest kids.
Cosmo Kids is an indoor playground for babies, toddlers and preschoolers inside the Galerija shopping mall. Kids work through a play maze, ride the double, Vulkano and donut slides, bounce on trampolines and dig in a sandbox, while a separate baby corner gives crawlers a calmer space of their own.
Cosmo Play is an indoor play center inside the Galerija shopping mall. Kids climb and crawl through a multi-level maze, race down slides and steel Inox slides, and play team games in a laser tag arena. A separate baby corner gives the youngest their own space.
Parents can wait in the Cosmo Caffe, and the grip socks some attractions require are sold at the front desk.
