About the Venue

The New Ulm Recreation Center Indoor Playground is a multi-level play structure inside the city recreation center, built for toddlers and older kids who want an active climb-and-slide session. Families can pay a lower playground-only admission instead of full rec-center admission, which keeps quick visits affordable. It is a practical stop for energetic kids, especially when paired with the wider recreation center amenities or a reserved birthday package.
