Play Palooza is the Hot Springs Family YMCA's four-level indoor playground. It operates during branch hours with a pair of weekday blackout windows, and the Y notes that children must be 11 to stay without an adult while socks are required for everyone. This is a practical community option for families who already use the Y or want indoor play inside a broader nonprofit recreation center.
