Kids can burn lots of energy, meet new friends, and have a blast when they spend time at kid-friendly attractions. Whether your kiddos want to jump on trampolines, race around in go-karts, or test their skills at an arcade, here are five of the best kid-friendly attractions in the Chandler, Arizona, area.

Uptown Jungle Fun Park

Trampoline park by Ralph Bean is licensed with CC BY 2.0

One thing that separates Uptown Jungle Fun Park from other family entertainment parks is that it is all-inclusive. You pay just the admission fee, and all rides, games, and attractions are included. There’s so much to do at Uptown Jungle Fun Park that your kids will want to come often.

They can jump on the indoor trampoline, scale the climbing wall, or get thrills on the spider tower. This indoor fun park also has mega-play structures, super slides, a mini zipline course, and a ninja warrior course. Toddlers have their own area with soft play structures and age-appropriate playgrounds. All participants will need to wear grip socks on the courses, and when the gang gets hungry, they can eat food from the concession area.

Desert Oasis Aquatic Center

The city of Chandler runs and manages the Desert Oasis Aquatic Center. You’ll find a 25-yard, eight-lane lap pool with a zero-depth entry and an area with a kiddie slide that’s perfect for your younger children. The older kids will get a thrill on the 112-foot figure-eight water slide, and the deep-water drop slide. If your family wants to just splash around in the water, they can have fun at the raindrop and spray whale splash pad area.

Parents can enjoy lounging on pool furniture under umbrellas scattered around the pool and can snack on goodies from the concession stand. During the off-season months, your family can play sand volleyball or romp around on the sand playground.
