When the weather keeps everyone inside, these are the places where kids can still run, jump and climb until they're tired. The Tricity has trampoline parks with foam pits, climbing walls with kids' zones and parkour halls, plus laser tag arenas and bowling alleys with bumpers for younger bowlers. Here's what we checked, from the foam pits at JUMPCITY to the 19-meter ladder at Elewator.
A 2,000 m² trampoline park with a large foam pit, sports trampolines, acrobatic tracks, an air track, trampolines with basketball hoops for dunking, a dodgeball arena and a gladiator zone. The 4.26 m Super Quad trampoline gives the highest bounces.
Trainers on the floor help kids learn flips safely, and there are changing rooms with showers, free lockers and a snack bar.
An indoor trampoline park with more than 140 trampolines split into six zones: a main arena where 25 people can jump at once, a foam pit, three tumbling lanes that end in basketball hoops for slam dunks, a dodgeball court, acrobatic tracks and high-bounce sport trampolines.
Every session opens with a safety video, and JUMPCITY trainers stay on the floor to spot jumpers and help with new tricks.
JUMPCITY Rumia is a trampoline park with more than 2,000 m² of trampolines inside the Port Rumia shopping center. There is a big foam pit, a Super-Quad sport trampoline, tumbling lanes, basketball hoops, a dodgeball arena and a gladiator zone.
The Ninja Box is a six-part timed obstacle course hung over the foam pit, good for kids who like to race their friends. Coaches stay on the floor throughout.
Movement Arena is a parkour and acrobatics gym inside Fun Arena. The hall has a parkour zone of soft blocks, wooden obstacles and scaffolding, a trampoline zone with a foam pit, a ninja cage with two obstacle routes, an air track, and an airbag to jump onto from a platform up to 5 meters high.
Kids join coached parkour, gymnastics and flip classes, or come for open sessions.
Murall Hemara is a bouldering gym: rope-free climbing on low walls above crash mats, across 1,500 m2 with more than 8,000 holds. Problems are graded on a nine-step scale and reset every week, from easy lines a first-timer can finish to hard overhangs.
Younger climbers get their own zone with animal-shaped holds and no tricky moves. Afterward, the cafe has table football and chess.
Elewator is a rope climbing wall up to 19 meters high, with about 415 square meters of climbing across 22 rope lanes. Two lanes end in bells for the youngest climbers, and one has a hanging 19-meter ladder. Long traverses and a 50-square-meter bouldering area suit kids who'd rather stay low. A TopStop belay system cuts the climber's weight tenfold, so a lighter adult can belay a heavier climber.
Laser tag is the centerpiece here: a post-apocalyptic arena styled after the Fallout games, with two-level walkways, a wrecked army vehicle and a mock tank, for up to 16 players at once. Every player gets printed hit stats after the game.
The rest of the center has VR stations, a 9D VR cinema with moving seats, archery tag, a Nerf arena, an interactive laser floor and retro arcade machines.
Laser Arena runs laser tag in a 1910 railway workshop hall. Its two post-apocalyptic city maps, one bright for fast games and one dark maze for sneaking, are played in turn or joined into one field.
Players wear headband sensors and pick a pistol or a larger rifle. An instructor splits the group into two teams and runs rounds built around tasks, not just tagging.
A 17-lane bowling center on the second floor of the Metropolia shopping mall, with bumpers and light balls so younger kids can knock down pins too. Five pool tables, two darts stations, sofas and a bar with a food menu fill the rest of the room.
Bowlers Journal International gave it first prize for the interior of a new bowling center in its 2020 design awards.
Soprano is a bowling alley, pub and restaurant under one roof in Przymorze. The bowling hall has six Qubica AMF lanes, five pool tables and darts, with a bar serving pizza, burgers and snacks.
For kids there are lighter balls, bowling shoes in small sizes and bumpers that keep the ball out of the gutter. The restaurant on site serves international food with Italian touches.
An interactive museum of arcade games from the 1980s and 1990s, with more than 100 machines, all of them playable. The collection runs from Space Invaders, Galaga and Donkey Kong to Tetris, Street Fighter II, Tekken, the Time Crisis II light-gun shooter, pinball tables and the Dancerush Stardom dance machine.
It suits kids who like buttons and noise, and parents who want the games they grew up with.
