FEC STARTUP PLANNING

How Much Does It Cost to Open an Indoor Playground?

There is no single startup price because rent, construction, equipment, shipping and local requirements vary. Start with the real space, location, budget and opening timeline.

Site, lease and build-out

Plan for deposits, rent during build-out, flooring, lighting, bathrooms, electrical work, fire and accessibility requirements, permits and professional fees.

Playground equipment

As an early planning reference, equipment is often estimated at USD 10–15 per sq ft. The final price depends on layout, materials, attraction mix and project scope.

Freight and installation

Separate equipment, freight, customs, unloading, installation and local labor so the delivered project cost is easier to understand.

Opening and operating costs

Allow for insurance, staffing, software, training, marketing, cleaning supplies, spare parts and working capital.
