About
Funcity Adventure Park in Thornton is one of those north Denver metro indoor play spaces that becomes a go-to option when the weather does not cooperate — and in Colorado, that covers a lot of days. The facility offers a multi-level indoor playground with climbing structures, slides, and active play elements that let kids truly burn energy in a safe, supervised environment.
For families with children aged 2-10, Funcity covers a useful range. Younger toddlers have areas scaled to their size, while older kids can tackle the bigger climbing challenges. It is not the flashiest indoor play facility in the metro, which is reflected in its Google rating, but it consistently delivers the fundamentals: space to run, things to climb, and comfortable seating for supervising adults.
Socks are required for all participants — bring a pair for each kid or purchase them on-site. The venue is entirely indoors and climate-controlled, making it a reliable rainy day or winter afternoon option.
Weekday afternoons tend to be significantly quieter than weekend evenings, which is worth factoring into your planning if you have a flexible schedule. For families that are north of Denver, Funcity avoids the drive into the city and offers comparable fun at a lower traffic threshold.
Budget roughly $60-90 for a family of four including admission and light snacks. Check the website for current pricing, weekday specials, and birthday party packages.
