About the Venue

The Vaughan Athletic Center iNDOOR PLAYZONE is a community indoor play space inside Fox Valley Park District’s large recreation complex. It includes an infant room and toddler playground for very young children plus a larger multi-level play area with mazes, punching bags, and spiral slides for ages 3-11. The pricing is simpler than many private venues, making it a useful option for budget-conscious families who do not need boutique theming or all-day admission.
