Indoor Playground in Auburn Hills, MI
Welcome to Kids Empire — a kids indoor playground in Auburn Hills built for big energy and easy family outings. Located at Great Lakes Crossing, about 13 minutes from downtown Auburn Hills, our park gives kids ages 1–12 unlimited, all-day indoor play. You can jump in and explore with your child or relax in comfortable seating while our staff helps supervise the fun. And since admission is valid all day, you can step out and return later the same day.
All-Day Indoor Fun at Our Auburn Hills Playground
Kids love our multi-level maze packed with winding slides, jungle gym passages, ball pits, and obstacle-style paths that keep them moving and giggling. The dance floor brings extra “play big” energy for kids who love to show off their moves.
For younger explorers, we have a dedicated toddler zone with mini slides, soft construction blocks, and a small ball pit sized just right. Like all Kids Empire parks, Auburn Hills delivers the same bright, safety-first experience—with a local feel for families visiting Great Lakes Crossing.
