Best Indoor Arenas and Trampoline Parks in Christchurch:
Trampoline Parks and Ninja Arenas:
MoveX
MoveX Trampoline and Ninja Park in Bromley is all about fun, fitness, and flipping out in the best way possible. This family-owned and operated park is packed with activities for all ages, from preschooler-discounted sessions on weekday mornings (9.30 am – 1 pm) to Pizza & Play Fridays for the bigger kids. There’s a dedicated under-5s trampoline area with a foam pit, plus a high-bounce zone, wall tramps, a new parkour setup, and an epic ninja course with 12 obstacles over two levels. If you mention nook at the café, you’ll score a free fluffy—because little wins count too.
Ninja Valley
Ninja Valley is the ultimate indoor adventure for kids who love to climb, swing, and conquer obstacles like mini warriors. The massive Ninja Arena boasts 35+ physical activities, from high ropes and climbing towers to zip lines, trampolines, and giant slides. There’s even a merry-go-round, dodgeball court, and ball pits for the littlest ninjas. Preschooler-focused sessions run weekday mornings from 10 am – 12 pm, giving little ones space to explore without the big kids. Fuel up at the Ninja Fuel Café afterward—because being a ninja is hungry work.
Mega Air
If ‘bigger is better’ is your motto, Mega Air delivers. With a half-pipe, basketball hoops, tumbling lanes, dodgeball courts, and a giant airbag for soft landings, there’s no shortage of space to bounce. Toddlers jump free with a full-paying adult, and dedicated toddler-only sessions run Tuesday to Thursday (10 am – 12 pm) and Saturday mornings (10 am – 11 am), so the littlies can have their own fun.
Launch Pad
A Christchurch classic, Launch Pad is where big air meets big fun. Their Toddler Time gives under-5s exclusive access to the entire park, complete with bubbles, balls, and soft play. Older kids (and grown-ups) can take on NZ’s biggest trampoline dodgeball court, test their flips into two enormous foam pits, or explore the upgraded Tiny Tots area with slides and a mini rollercoaster. There’s even an indoor scooter track with ramps, pumps, and jumps—helmets provided, but bring your own if you prefer.
Inflatable World
Not just one but two locations—Hornby and Christchurch Central—make Inflatable World a bouncy paradise. Think massive slides, obstacle courses, and jump zones galore, plus a dedicated under-5s area so little ones can bounce safely. It’s a great option for mixed-age families who need something fun for both the big and little kids.
Flips & Tumbles
Flips & Tumbles offers a fantastic indoor space for little ones to move, explore, and have fun. They can enjoy the full arena, featuring tumbling mats, parkour, and trampolines. For those under 5, there’s a safe area to play, plus the upstairs Jungle Room, providing plenty of room to explore and enjoy the action.
Go Karting:
Game Over
Indoor go-karting meets laser tag and arcade heaven. Game Over’s electric karts are smooth, fast, and perfect for friendly competition (or proving, once and for all, that you’re the fastest in the family). Speed around the track, then battle it out in the laser tag arena. The ultimate combo for high-energy kids and parents who refuse to let their children win.
Supa Karts
Old-school petrol-powered go-karting with all the thrills and that satisfying engine roar. Supa Karts is the perfect spot for a bit of friendly family competition, with races designed for all ages and experience levels. Their family go-kart races run at a slower speed (around 25 kph), so younger drivers can join in while the adults keep to the same pace—making for a fair but fun showdown to see who’s the fastest.
For kids aged 8 to 13, the junior karts are smaller and easier to handle, giving them the chance to take the wheel in a self-drive experience. Got a little one who wants in on the action? Supa Karts has tandem karts, so adults can drive younger passengers (ages 4-7) safely around the track. Whether you’re a first-time driver or a seasoned speedster, this is a great place to hit the track and put your family’s racing skills to the test.
Action Kart Raceway
If you’ve got a need for speed, Action Kart Raceway is where it’s at. Their fast-paced track is perfect for thrill-seekers over the age of 8 who want to test their driving skills (or just enjoy some friendly competition with family). It’s a great spot for birthdays or just an excuse to let loose and feel like a racing pro for a few laps.
