There is nothing like Slick City in central Indiana, and I'm so glad that this place is now in Brownsburg. I keep describing it to people as an indoor waterpark without water. It's seriously so fun, and unlike most indoor playgrounds, I saw just as many adults sliding as I saw children sliding.
I mean, I didn't slide and will never, but it looked like people were having fun, and my kids said they had a great time. I prefer being a spectator at these sort of activities that require you to sign a waiver.
There are 12 or so slides, each with something different to offer. Some launch you straight into the air, some sway you side to side, some twist and turn you all the way to the bottom. I've been asked what age range Slick City is best for, and I would say that this place is best for adventurous kids ages 10 and older. But that said, I saw plenty of kids who looked like they were younger having the time of their lives.
One thing to keep in mind is that you're required to slide on your stomach. No sliding on your bum or on your back. I kept thinking about all of the poor spines, but even the people who ate it on the slides were able to get up and walk away.
There's also a Junior Jungle just for kids who are 48 inches and shorter. It looked super fun -- so fun that my two kids, who are taller than 48 inches and not allowed in, kept asking to sneak in and play. You can buy a discounted admission for a kiddo who will just be visiting the Junior Jungle.
Along with slides, Slick City has two basketball courts, an acrobat area, and a zipline. There's also a huge cafe that sells orange creamsicle Icees (!!), and lots of tables at which to sit. I saw many people claim tables and just leave their stuff at them. Slick City has lockers at the front that you can pay to use. But if you walk to the back where the restrooms are, you'll find free cubbies where you can put your shoes and jackets and things. You're welcome.
When we visited, there were hella people everywhere, and the line to check in was at the door. I thought for sure that my kids would be waiting in long lines to get on the slides, but surprisingly, for the amount of people who where there with us at the park, my kids waited no more than a few minutes to get on slides, and in lots of cases, they didn't have to wait at all. They keep it moving here. read more
