The Best Indoor Playgrounds and Fun Zones in Idaho Falls

 

December in Idaho Falls is magical, but when the snow piles up and the temperature drops, cabin fever is real! Luckily, our city has fantastic indoor venues perfect for letting kids climb, jump, play, and burn off all that holiday energy.

Here is your guide to the best indoor active play spots in Idaho Falls this winter!

 

1. iJump Trampoline Park: The High-Energy Destination

 

If your kids need to go BIG with their energy release, iJump Trampoline Park is the ultimate stop. This is the largest and most energetic facility, offering a wide array of activities that will leave everyone happily exhausted.

 

What to Find:

 

  • Interconnected Trampolines: Thousands of square feet of trampolines, including angled walls for dynamic bouncing.

  • Dodgeball & Foam Pits: Dedicated areas for trampoline dodgeball and massive foam pits for safe, soft landings after practicing flips.

  • Climbing Walls & Obstacle Courses: Fun challenges for older kids and teens looking to test their strength and agility.

  • Wee-Jump Day: Check their schedule for Wee-Jump Day (often Thursdays from 10 AM-1 PM), which restricts jumping to kids 48” and under, providing a safer, less crowded experience for toddlers.

Know Before You Go: Mandatory grip socks are required for all jumpers (available for purchase on-site). Check their website for special holiday hours and Family Jump Nights throughout December!

 

2. The Little Play Hut: Fun for the Littles

 

Designed specifically with toddler to early elementary ages in mind, The Little Play Hut provides a safe, cozy, and imaginative play environment that big-kid parks can't match.

  • Sensory Play: Areas focused on sensory and imaginative play, often including dress-up corners, pretend shops, and crafting areas.

  • Age-Appropriate Structures: Soft play structures, small slides, and a ball pit that are perfectly sized for young children (generally ages 6 months to 6 or 7 years).

  • Supervision: The compact, clean design makes it easy for parents to keep an eye on their little ones while they play.

Great for Toddlers: This spot focuses on creative play over pure adrenaline, making it a favorite for parents looking for a low-stress, engaging indoor morning activity.

💡 Quick Tips for Winter Fun

 

  • Check Hours: December is full of school breaks and holidays. Always call ahead or check the facility's website for updated public open play hours before you go, as times can change due to private parties or holiday closures.

  • Waivers: Most trampoline and multi-attraction parks require a signed waiver (often done online) before entry.

  • Socks! Remember to wear or purchase the required grip/jump socks!
