About
Hi Keiki is the kind of neighborhood indoor playground that Kailua parents rely on when the weather turns and you need an hour or two of structured play for little ones. It's locally owned and specifically designed for the youngest crowd — babies, crawlers, and toddlers through about age 6.
The equipment is age-appropriate: soft foam-padded sections for babies working on walking, gentle slides and climbing structures for confident toddlers, and enough variety that kids cycle through multiple activities without getting bored. The scale is intentionally manageable — unlike enormous commercial indoor playgrounds where toddlers get lost in the crowd, Hi Keiki keeps it intimate enough that parents can see their kids at all times from the seating area.
For families visiting Kailua — which is a popular base for Windward Oahu trips — Hi Keiki is a practical backup when afternoon showers roll in off the Ko'olau Mountains. The Windward side gets more rain than Honolulu, and having a dry indoor option is genuinely useful.
Being locally owned means pricing is typically more reasonable than chain indoor playgrounds, and the staff-to-kid ratio is better than you'd get at a big commercial venue. The vibe is friendly and community-oriented — regulars know each other, and visiting families are welcomed warmly.
Pair a morning visit with a trip to Kailua Beach Park for an ideal Windward Oahu day: playground in the morning when the kids still have energy, beach in the afternoon for the older kids, and Kalapawai Market for lunch in between.
