Looking for a place to let your kids run wild? Soccer World's Bouncers and Balls program is the place to be! They have a wide variety of activities from bouncy castles, parachutes, hoola hoops, balls and more! A whole soccer field awaits your children's imagination and chaos.
We've been going to this program since Lily was around 9 months old. I used to take her when I was on maternity leave and it was one of our favourite places to go. It is a great way to burn off some energy on a raining or cold day when you can't be outside. To this day, Lily still loves going and now Mason (6 months old) is able to enjoy it with us.
It is a safe and fun place for kiddos to run around freely while the big kids are in school. While there is a wide range of ages that attend this event from infants - 4 years old there is so much space you never feel crowded. I feel that the activities are best for children who are walking however, if your child is not walking yet it would still be fun for them, they will just require more help from you. Soccer World does have a lot of staff that help out during the program on the equipment as well to make sure the kids are able to have lots of fun! So if you are unable to go into a bouncy castle with your child, there are people there to help you. I find this really helpful now that I have 2 kids because I can't leave Mason alone to go inside the bouncy castles with Lily to help her. So having the staff there to assist is great so Lily doesn't miss out on any of the activities.
Just some tips for visiting soccer world:
- it is not really stroller friendly until you get inside the dome. The bathroom is tight with a stroller and does not fit into a stall. I also found it hard to maneuver the stroller through the doors to get into the dome. If you are taking an infant it might be easier to baby wear than take a stroller.
- it can be quite chilly during the winter months so layer up. Once the kids get running around they will warm up but it is best to layer
- bring your own snacks. Soccer World does have a vending machine with limited snacks and drinks so I recommend bringing your own snacks. We sometimes spend 2-2.5 hours there so its great to take a break and enjoy a snack. Bring a blanket to sit on and it is like a fun little picnic.
Overall, it is a great program for a great price! If you are looking for a way to get your kiddo to nap for a few hours I highly recommend checking out Bouncers and Balls! Lily gives it two big thumbs up!
Happy bouncing!
