Unlimited Play Until We Close: How Long Can Kids Actually Play at Off The Wall Kids?

How long can they play?" is one of the first questions parents ask when they are planning **things to do in London** with kids — especially before committing to admission, socks, waivers, and a drive across the city.

We are Off The Wall Kids at 539 First St in East London (Argyle, near Fanshawe College). Here is the straight answer on play time at our indoor playground: what "Unlimited Play Until We Close" actually means, how online booking works, and the one situation where a time limit applies.

The short answer

For most of the day, kids play **until we close** — not a hidden two-hour cap.

Walk-ins and online drop-in bookings both get **Unlimited Play Until We Close** on regular operating days. Your child can stay from admission until our posted closing time. Many families plan two or three hours; plenty stay longer on rainy Saturdays.

The only routine exception: if you book the **last admission slot before close**, play ends at closing — you cannot extend past the time we shut the doors. That is not a daily two-hour limit; it is the natural end of the day.

Check today's hours on the **Today's Hours bar** on our website before you head out — usually 10:00am to 8:00pm, seven days a week, with holiday exceptions.

Walk-ins vs online booking — same play time, different perks

Walk-ins are welcome anytime we are open. No reservation required.

Online booking through Bookeo saves about $1 per ticket and reserves your spot on busy days — recommended when the forecast is ugly or it is a peak weekend. **Play time is the same:** Unlimited Play Until We Close, same as walk-in.

What you get for that full afternoon

One admission covers the whole indoor playground — not one zone, not one attraction.

Donut Slide (tube slide) — exclusive to our London location. Tube runs, racing energy, the structure school-age kids remember.

Ballistics Arena — foam balls, targets, dedicated zone exclusive to our facility.

Volcano Slide — climbing and slide runs in the main structure.

Jumping Pillow (Kangaroo Jumper) — bounce without a separate trampoline park visit.

Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course — cargo nets, tire swings, padded obstacles.

Multi-Level Climbing Structure & Spiral Slide — tunnels, climbs, parent sightlines from the eating area.

Toddler Area & Bead Play — softer play for the smallest guests.

Concession — licensed kitchen so you can eat on site and stay longer. Pizza, poutine, nuggets, fries, fruit cups, coffee.

That is why Unlimited Play Until We Close matters for **things to do in London** — you are not rushing through one bouncy castle in forty-five minutes. Kids rotate attractions, reset with food, and go back to the ballistics arena or donut slide.

How long do families actually stay?

Plan for **at least two hours**. Many families are here **three hours or more** — especially with Unlimited Play Until We Close on online bookings and walk-ins.

Parents tell us the concession is part of why they linger. One stop for play and lunch beats loading everyone back into the car mid-afternoon.

Birthday parties — different timeline, still play until close

Standard birthday party packages include **90 minutes in the private party room** on your booked schedule (for example, 10:00am booking → room until 11:30am). After that, **party room access ends** — but guests may **keep playing in the facility until we close**.

Unlimited play in the building until close applies to party guests too. The room timer is for the private space and food service, not a cap on how long kids play in the structure.

Private facility rental = exclusive two-hour window for your group — different product. Comparison: offthewallkids.ca/kids-activities-blog/private-birthday-party-rental-vs-package-off-the-wall-kids-london

Summer camp and PA Day camp — different product again

Registered camp (ages 4–12) follows camp hours — typically 8:30am–4:30pm with lunch included. That is counsellor-led program time, not drop-in Unlimited Play Until We Close.

Drop-in families on camp days usually can still visit during regular facility hours with normal admission rules — parent-supervised play, socks, waivers, book or walk in.

Private event days — two-hour windows, not full-day closures

Private facility rentals and private events book a **two-hour window** — not a full-day closure. Depending on when your event is scheduled, we may **open later** or **close earlier** that day. Drop-in guests already in the building must clear the floor before the private event window begins. Always check the **Today's Hours bar** before you drive. Regular drop-in and Unlimited Play Until We Close apply on all normal operating days outside those windows.

Before you come — the rules that do not change with play time

Socks. Everyone past our admission counter needs socks — every age, every visit.

Waivers. Everyone past the counter needs a signed waiver — playing or not, any age. Digital waivers on our site are valid for **12 months**. Sign ahead: offthewallkids.ca/waiver
