Fun Shack Newcastle

The Fun Shack in Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, is an indoor soft play centre. They are one of Europe’s largest indoor adventure playgrounds. There is a wide range of play activities available, which are provided in safe and secure surroundings. The play centre offers a huge range of activities for children aged 1–14. Located at Benfield Business Park in Walkergate, and just a short walk from the Metro, this impressive venue is designed for full‑on family fun, energetic play and action‑packed days out. With two centres side‑by‑side (Fun Shack and InflateSpace), it’s one of the largest indoor adventure destinations in the region.

Inside, families will find a giant multi‑level play frame, trampolines, a football court, go‑karts, bumper buggies, a toddler village and a huge volcano slide. The Tubby Slide is a standout attraction, offering the North East’s only indoor rubber dinghy slide, where children can race down a two‑storey slope in giant donut rings. Younger visitors can explore the interactive toddler village, complete with themed role‑play areas that encourage imagination and early motor‑skill development.

Fun Shack Newcastle also features a brand‑new four‑zone interactive area designed for the whole family. The Ball Wall, Quantum Space, Draw Live and Dynamic Floor combine movement, lights and digital play to create an immersive experience that’s perfect for both younger children and older ones looking for something different.
