October Indoor Play & Halloween Week With Kids in London Ontario
Leaves are down. Soccer is muddy. Someone asks what to do after school that is not another screen.
Here is the **October indoor play** guide for families looking for **things to do in London** at Off The Wall Kids (**539 First St, East London**, Argyle near Fanshawe College) — including Halloween week, without turning this into a costume-contest flyer.

"October energy"
**October through December** is generally busier than September. After-school drop-in often picks up around **3:30pm**, and we stay open until **8:00pm** on regular days — always confirm on the **Today's Hours bar**.
We are not going to promise a quiet visit. Come when it works for your family. Book online to hold your spot and save a bit: tavarios.ca/customer-portal/cb982fca-cf7a-4f59-b9c7-55ca0364eddc/portal
"Halloween day vs Halloween week"
**Halloween day itself** is usually a **slower sales day** for us — kids want to trick-or-treat. That is fine. The days around it are when families still need indoor play, PA Day coverage, and a place to burn energy.
Costumes are **allowed**. Please skip **weapons** and **face paint** — face paint ends up on the play structure and creates extra cleaning.
"PA Days in October"
PA Day camp (ages **4–12**) still fills — often about a week before, but **book earlier** when the date posts. We want families registering ahead, not scrambling the night before.

"What kids do here in October"
Same full facility — **donut slide**, **ballistics arena**, jumping pillow, ninja course, toddler-friendly zones, concession. Socks for everyone past admission — any socks work; **grip socks recommended**.
London families have voted us **Best Indoor Playground** two years in a row through **Community Votes**.
