The play areas from yesterday to today: make way for family adventure!

An accessible idea to undertake without breaking the bank

The leisure sector may seem expensive for entrepreneurs wishing to get started. Depending on the concept you choose to launch, the initial investment can quickly climb. But there is an alternative at a lower cost: indoor inflatable parks!

Far from the stereotype of the Kermesse inflatable castle, these modern leisure areas offer immersive and ultra-light experiences. With neat branding, a unique atmosphere and attractive additional services, it is possible to create a stylish and profitable place at a lower cost.

Inflatable parks: a success in full expansion

Inspired by English models such as Air Thrill , Go Bounce , Rebound and Jumping Fun, Indoor inflatable parks are experiencing a dazzling boom in the United Kingdom, with more than 150 parks implanted.

But France follows the trend, in particular with the Planet Park , a collaboration between Royal Kids and Urban Jump which offers indoor inflatable play areas of more than 1,000 m².

1. A low initial investment

One of the greatest advantages of an inflatable park is its financial accessibility . Unlike other indoor leisure concepts, it requires neither heavy fixed structures nor complex installations , which considerably reduces the initial costs.

• An attractive installation cost: the average budget for an indoor inflatable park is between 200 and 250 € per m² , much less than other types of leisure spaces such as parks trampolines, laser games or arcade rooms.
• Simple and modular infrastructure: a warehouse or a large area is enough, with a sufficient ceiling height to accommodate inflatable structures. Few technical arrangements are required: suitable soil, effective ventilation, and good soundproofing.
• Limited maintenance costs: unlike electronic or mechanical installations, inflatables are easy to maintain and require only a regular control to ensure safety and sustainability.
• Adaptation flexibility: if a module works less well or wears out, it can be easily replaced, allowing a rapid evolution of the park without having to rebuild everything.

With a low investment and great flexibility, the inflatable park is one of the best options to undertake in the indoor leisure without taking major financial risks.

5. And after?

One of the major advantages of the inflatable is its ease of resale and renewal . Unlike fixed structures, the modules can be changed regularly to provide renewal to customers and keep a surprise effect.

To optimize this flexibility, it is recommended to avoid printing a logo too large directly on the inflatable. Instead, favor a removable scratch system that allows you to change the brand image easily, or even resell certain modules without loss of value.

Thanks to this modularity, your park can evolve over the trends, regularly adding new attractions to retain your visitors and maintain a strong commercial appeal!
