Advertised as the biggest indoor amusement park in Canada, I thought I'd make the 2 hour drive to London, ON because it seems really cool! The area is huge (used to be an old Kellogg factory) and offers a lot of different activities.
The website is well designed and the staff are young and friendly. They reply quickest through Facebook Messenger!
What can I say, you can definitely spend the whole day here. We spent 8 hours here and didn't get to do everything. Because it's a rather new business (opened just last month), they weren't many people in the area, so you don't have to line up for much. There's:
Trampoline park: (dodgeball, slam dunks, spinning arms, tumble tracks and interactive lights that change colour everything you jump on it)
Warrior course: this is like the ninja warrior course on TV but more kid friendly. There's a treadmill, stunt jump, monkey bars, ropes, rings, ladders, nets and of course, the famous warped walls. Don't be fooled... the course isn't easy!
High ropes: I'd say this one is worth your money the most. We spent 2 hours on this and we barely finished level 4 out of 9. There are two sides of ropes and by the time we got to the zip lining stage, we were too tired. They have a lot of unique obstacles (bike, kayak, picnic table, horse). These challenges really test your endurance and balance!
They have a 35ft free fall (more like a repel, you feel like you're spiderman), and at the time, the 65ft wasn't available. It's scary jumping off, but once you've jumped it's really fun. You have the option to take the stairs if you don't want to free fall.
Arcade: Like a mini Dave & Busters. Some similar games but some new ones. The new ones were out of order when we went. Bonus: Free popcorn!
With purchase, you get sticky socks for the trampolines and warrior course (these look so much cooler than the ones at Sky Zone, and they glow in the dark!)
There's also a kids playground, virtual reality, escape rooms, lots of modern lounge spaces with tables and a caf! Their pizza is really delicious! (thin crust and stone baked).
I like that they have lockers (bring your own lock), they give you a colourful bracelet that acts as your key pass to enter and exit the building, to hold your arcade tokens and your times for your attraction selection. There are no water fountains though (well there is, but it looks kind of dirty lol)
I must mention that the place isn't cheap. It's like $25 + tax for one hour of warrior course and $50+ tax for 1.5hrs of high ropes. We purchased a combo package (adventure package) featuring 1 hour of warrior OR trampoline, 1.5 hours of high ropes and $10 worth of credits in the arcade for $80 per person after tax. They have different packages, and if you are able to come in the weekday, do so! Because it's only $60 for everything, all day.
Perks: there are nursing stations, free wifi, and a sensory night (Hosted the first Tuesday of every month, they turn the music and lights down so that people with sensory needs can enjoy The Factory more comfortably.)
Overall, vibrant and modern vibes with plenty to do! Just wished that they were closer to the city because this would be a great activity in the winter :P read more
