Ballistics Arena at Off The Wall Kids — Exclusive Foam Ball Play in London Ontario
Kids describe it in the car on the way home. Foam balls. Targets. The kind of chaos that does not fit in a single sentence — so parents Google things to do in London and try to find "that foam ball place" again.
That is our ballistics arena at Off The Wall Kids — 539 First St in East London (Argyle, near Fanshawe College). It is a dedicated play zone exclusive to our London location, not a corner of someone else's soft-play building. This post is the deep dive on that one attraction: what it is, who loves it, and how it fits into a full afternoon indoors.

What the ballistics arena actually is
Picture a named zone inside our indoor playground — foam balls, targets, and open space for kids to run, toss, and reset over and over. It is not a generic ball pit tucked under a staircase. Families book us for birthdays and drop-in play partly because kids remember ballistics by name.
School-age kids and active six-year-olds gravitate here first or loop back after the donut slide. Parents use sightlines from the eating area to watch the arena while siblings hit other zones — jumping pillow, ninja course, toddler area — on the same admission.

Who it is for (and who should stay close)
Best fit: kids who want high-energy, social, loud play — often ages 5–12, but confident younger kids join in too.
Mixed ages: older kids in the ballistics arena while a toddler explores bead play nearby works well here. One building, one admission, parent sightlines across zones.
Supervision: we are a parent-supervised facility. Stay within reach of littles who are still learning boundaries in busy zones.
Socks — everyone past the admission counter, any age, every visit.
Waivers — everyone past the counter. Digital waivers good 12 months: Waiver

One admission — ballistics plus everything else
You are not paying a separate ticket for the ballistics arena. One drop-in admission covers the full indoor playground until we close on regular days — ballistics arena, donut slide, jumping pillow, ninja obstacles, volcano slide, toddler zones, and concession.

Live admission rates: Admission & Pricing
Hours — check the Today's Hours bar before you drive. Usually 10:00am–8:00pm. Private events book a two-hour window — we may open later or close earlier that day; drop-in guests already inside clear the floor before the event window begins.
Ballistics on party days and camp days
Birthday parties — party guests use the same main playground as drop-in families. Ballistics is part of the facility, not a private-room-only perk. Parties use a private party room for cake and food; the arena stays in the mix for everyone.
Party guide: Birthday Parties London Ontario
Summer camp & PA Day camp — registered campers hit the full facility, including ballistics, under counsellor supervision. Different product from drop-in play.

Eat here, stay longer, go back to the arena
The concession is part of why families do a second lap. Pizza, poutine, nuggets, fries, fruit cups, coffee — licensed kitchen, not just vending machines. Kids refuel; parents hold a table with sightlines; someone announces they are going back to ballistics.

Why families mention ballistics when they recommend us
London families have voted us Best Indoor Playground two years in a row through community votes — and Best Children's Entertainer two years in a row as well. When east-side parents list things to do in London for school-age kids, ballistics comes up alongside our donut slide — two structures you will not find at every indoor play centre in the city.
We are not the biggest venue in Ontario. We are a place where one admission unlocks named attractions kids actually remember.
