Indoor Playground in East London Ontario — Things to Do Near Argyle & Fanshawe
You live in East London, Argyle, or near Fanshawe College. Someone in the car says "let's find **things to do in London**" and the map pulls up options scattered across the city — north end, west end, twenty minutes in traffic you did not budget for.
We are Off The Wall Kids at **539 First St** in East London (Argyle area, near Fanshawe College). A lot of families in your neighbourhood find us because we are close — not because we are trying to win a "drive across London" afternoon. This is the local guide: where we are, what you get when you walk in, and why East London parents keep us in the rotation for rainy days, hot days, birthdays, and school breaks.

What you get at our East London indoor playground
One admission. Unlimited play in the facility until we close on regular days (online booking and walk-in). Parent-supervised. Socks and waivers at the counter.
This is not a single bounce room. It is a full indoor playground with attractions kids remember by name — including two structures **exclusive to our London location**:
**Donut slide (tube slide)** — kids ride tubes down the incline. Racing energy, repeat runs, and a slide you will not find at every indoor play centre in the city. East London school-age kids mention this one when they are telling friends about **things to do in London** on a Saturday.
**Ballistics arena** — foam balls, targets, dedicated zone exclusive to our facility. The chaos kids talk about in the car on the way home.
Beyond those headline attractions:
**Jumping pillow (Kangaroo Jumper)** — big air in a contained zone.
**Ninja warrior obstacle course** — cargo nets, tire swings, padded obstacles.
**Volcano slide** — climbing structure with slide runs in the main play area.
**Multi-level climbing structure** — tunnels, netting, climbs, parent sightlines from the eating area.
**Toddler area & bead play** — softer zones for the smallest guests; mixed ages in one building.
**Concession** — licensed kitchen (pizza, poutine, nuggets, fries, fruit cups, coffee). One stop for play and food.

Hours, admission, and getting in the door
Regular rhythm: **10:00am to 8:00pm**, seven days a week — but always check the **Today's Hours bar** on our website before you drive. Holidays and private events can shift hours.
Private events book a **two-hour window** — not a full-day closure. Depending on when an event is scheduled, we may **open later** or **close earlier** that day. Drop-in guests already inside must clear the floor before the private event window begins.
Admission by age band — live rates on our Admission & Pricing page (we do not hard-code prices in blog posts):

Walk-ins welcome anytime we are open. Online booking saves about **$1 per ticket** and reserves your spot on busy days: bookeo.com/off_the_wall_bookings
How long can kids play? **Unlimited Play Until We Close** for walk-ins and online drop-in bookings on regular days — not a hidden two-hour cap. Deep dive: offthewallkids.ca/kids-activities-blog/unlimited-play-until-close-how-long-kids-play-off-the-wall-kids-london

Birthdays, camps, and school breaks — still East London

Why East London families keep coming back
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. We are not the biggest indoor play space in Ontario. What we are is a place built for real families on real Saturdays — donut slide, ballistics arena, ninja course, toddler zone, concession, parties, and camps — without driving to the other end of the city for each one.
That is the pitch for **things to do in London** when you live on the east side: one address, one afternoon, structures your kids cannot get at every other venue.
