Cold Weather Indoor Play in London Ontario — Winter Weekends at Off The Wall Kids (No Camp Required)
The thermometer says stay inside. The kids say they are not tired. The park is empty and your living room is not built for this energy.
You do not need to register for camp to win a winter Saturday. Here is how **drop-in indoor play** works at Off The Wall Kids (**539 First St, East London**, Argyle near Fanshawe College) when you want **things to do in London** without committing to a full camp week.

"Drop-in — the winter weekend default"
Walk in anytime we are open, or book online to save about **$1 per ticket** and hold your spot on busy days: bookeo.com/off_the_wall_bookings
**Unlimited Play Until We Close** for online bookings and walk-ins. Plan for at least two hours — many families stay longer when it is freezing outside.

**Waivers** for everyone past admission: offthewallkids.ca/waiver
"No special winter rules — just busier months"
We do not change play rules seasonally. What changes is **how many families show up**.
**January, February, and March** are generally our **busiest months of the year**. Summer is busy with **camp**, but there is still plenty of room for **drop-in play** in July and August.

"When camp is running — can we still drop in?"
Yes. Camp kids are in the camp program during camp hours. Your family uses the building as **parent-supervised drop-in play** on regular operating days — different product, same **donut slide**, **ballistics arena**, and full structure.
Camp drop-off/pick-up rules apply only to registered campers: offthewallkids.ca/kids-activities-blog/camp-drop-off-pick-up-photo-id-off-the-wall-kids-london
"Mixed ages on a cold Saturday"
Toddlers, school-age siblings, and visiting cousins can play in the same visual space. Our **U-shaped sightlines** from the eating area mean you are not guessing which room someone ran into.

"Warm food without leaving"
Concession is part of the winter afternoon — pizza, poutine, hot chocolate, chicken strips, and more. One stop, warm meal, kids still burning energy.
Menu: offthewallkids.ca/menu
"When a full camp day makes more sense"
If you need **8:30am–4:30pm coverage** for ages **4–12** with lunch included, registered camp may fit better than a parent chasing drop-in hours.
