But as former operators with 30 years of experience, we&#8217;ll stop you right there: copy-pasting is a bad strategy. <\/p>\n<p>The choice of your leisure complex should not be based on impulse, but on three undeniable criteria: your catchment area, the configuration of your building, and your budget.<\/p>\n<p>To help you see things more clearly, here are the 3 main types of indoor parks. Which one matches your project? <\/p>\n<h2><b>1. The Tubular Indoor Playground (0-12 years): The Safe and Family-Friendly Bet<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>This is the historical model of indoor leisure. It features the famous multi-level structure, ball pits, giant slides, and a dedicated area for toddlers (the <i>Toddler Area<\/i>). <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Target Clientele:<\/b> Young parents and primary school children.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Business Model:<\/b> This is the cash machine on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. The core of your profitability will rely on one specific point: <b>birthday packages<\/b>. A well-managed indoor playground can host dozens of birthdays every weekend.  <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ideal Location:<\/b> No need for a gigantic warehouse. A good indoor playground can operate very well from 600 or 800 m\u00b2, provided it has a ceiling height of at least 4 to 5 meters to utilize verticality. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><b>2. The Trampoline Park and Ninja Course: To Capture Teenagers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>If your market study shows that there are already three <a href=\"https:\/\/playinbusiness.com\/fabricant-aire-de-jeux-interieure\/\">children&#8217;s indoor playgrounds<\/a> in your area, you need to change your target. The <a href=\"https:\/\/playinbusiness.com\/parcs-de-trampolines\/\">Trampoline Park<\/a> is the perfect activity to attract pre-teens, teenagers, and even young adults. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Target Clientele:<\/b> 10-25 year olds, students, and businesses during the week.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Business Model:<\/b> The ticket price is generally higher than for a classic playground. You also generate mandatory additional sales (the famous anti-slip socks). With an older age group, the snack area performs very well.  <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ideal Location:<\/b> Here, regulations are strict. You absolutely need a building with a very high clear height (minimum 5 meters above the jumping mats) to ensure the safety of <i>jumpers<\/i>, and a sufficiently large footprint to space out activity zones (Airbag, Dodgeball, Ninja). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>3. The Multi-Activity Complex (The Hybrid Model): The Steamroller<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>This is the big current trend. It&#8217;s called the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Family_entertainment_center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FEC<\/a> (<i>Family Entertainment Center<\/i>). The concept? Combining a children&#8217;s area, a trampoline space, augmented reality (like <a href=\"https:\/\/playinbusiness.com\/produit\/valo-jump\/\">ValoJump<\/a>), interactive climbing, and sometimes even a laser tag or bowling, all under one roof.   <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Target Clientele:<\/b> Absolutely everyone. Parents no longer just watch their children play; they participate. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Business Model:<\/b> This is the heaviest initial investment, but it&#8217;s also the one that yields the most. Why? Because you extend the length of stay. Instead of staying 1.5 hours, a family will spend the entire afternoon with you. The average basket explodes, and you crush local competition with the diversity of your offering.    <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ideal Location:<\/b> You need to think big. These projects require buildings of 1500, 2000 m\u00b2 or more, often located in large commercial areas. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What if the building dictated the type of indoor park to open?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>This is often the reality on the ground. You&#8217;ve found the perfect warehouse, superbly located, with very attractive rent&#8230; but the ceiling is only 3 meters high. In this case, forget trampolines and large jumping towers. The trick is to adapt to the premises: we&#8217;ll go for a timed Ninja Course concept, interactive floor tiles, or a large early learning space for 0-3 year olds, which require much less height.   <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <b>Have you identified the model that suits you?<\/b> Or, on the contrary, do you have a building and don&#8217;t know how to optimize it best? <a href=\"https:\/\/playinbusiness.com\/contact\/\">Contact the Play In Business design office<\/a>.
