What Fun Things Can You Do at OutSlide In?

This place is packed with playful magic:

1. A giant play structure with 5 slides—the heart of the fun!

My son really loves the green slide. It’s a “black out” slide that has rope lights all the way down!

2. A dedicated toddler area just right for busy little explorers.

3. A pretend mini city with themed rooms—like a grocery store, fire station, and vet hospital—for imaginative adventures.

The mini city is my daughter’s favorite! She loves to throw on a vet coat or fireman outfit and pretend to help animals or put out fires!

OutSlide In FAQ

What ages is OutSlide In best for?

OutSlide In has a separate, enclosed toddler area with soft foam play pieces for kids ages 0–2, and little ones are welcome in the mini city and other play areas too. Older kids head for the multi-level play structure with its slides, tunnels and bridges. Toddler pricing ($10 on Toddler Tuesdays) covers ages 0–3. The venue doesn’t publish a maximum age, so call ahead if you’re bringing older kids.

Do adults have to pay?

No—adults play free. Kids’ admission is $14.95 for all-day play, and you can leave and come back the same day without paying again.

Are socks required at OutSlide In?

Yes. Everyone, adults included, needs socks in the toddler area and on the main play structure, and grip socks aren’t allowed. If you forget, you can buy a pair on site for $3 (+ tax).

Can I drop my kids off while I shop at Citadel Mall?

No. OutSlide In doesn’t offer drop-off, and a parent or guardian (18+) has to sign a waiver for each child.

Can we bring our own food?

Outside food and drinks aren’t allowed in the playground, but the café sells coffee, drinks and pre-packaged snacks. For party room bookings, you can bring a cake or cupcakes (no ice cream or ice cream cakes).

How do I book a birthday party?

Call or email OutSlide In to reserve a party room. A $50 (+ tax) nonrefundable deposit holds your date, and it comes off your package total. Parties start at 10 am, 1 pm or 4 pm (just 1 pm and 4 pm on Sundays) and last two hours in the party room—you’re welcome to keep playing afterward.
