The play areas from yesterday to today: make way for family adventure!
In the past, play areas were simple land where children had fun while parents were waiting on a bench, often riveted on their phone or coffee.
But this era is changing. The new generations of play areas are no longer simple spaces of relaxation, they become real immersive adventures, where children and parents play together. Welcome to the era of Eduainment: learn while having fun, but above all by sharing unforgettable moments with the family!

From recess to immersive experience
Inspired by the concepts of playful learning, the Eduainment transforms play areas into real exploration fields. We no longer just climb or slide, we discover, we learn, we resolve puzzles and we take up challenges.
Places like Kidzania , Palomano or My Little Cabana are at the forefront of this trend.
Here, children are not content to have fun, they become doctors, firefighters, chefs or explorers in life -size decorations.
What about the cake? Parents can participate and live these adventures with them.
Why do these new play areas are hitting?
The recipe for success is simple: offer much more than a play space. These new concepts incorporate interactive challenges, immersive scenarios and experiences that make meninges work as much as muscles.
Here are some examples:
- Playing to be tall: children test life -size trades and plunge into universes inspired by the real world.
- Find the clues: courses in the form of an escape game where you have to think and cooperate to move forward.
- Get out together: physical and intellectual challenges where parents and children must unite their forces.
The result? Less “Mom, look at me!” And no more “come, we do it together!” Experience becomes a real moment of complicity and sharing.
Why do you like families so much?
Today, families want experiences that create bonds and offer something other than simple entertainment.
These new spaces meet this expectation perfectly. They allow:
- To involve the whole family: everyone plays, thinks and explores together.
- To learn while having fun: children develop skills, without even realizing it.
- To break the routine: no more outings where everyone makes their life, which could be perceived as a constraint by the parents.
The era of slides and swings still has a bright future ahead of it and will probably remain a must, but one thing is certain: families want more experiences and shared moments.
It is time to develop these spaces towards even more immersive and engaging adventures. The future of play areas promises to be exciting!
