Indoor Playground in Evanston, IL
Welcome to Kids Empire — a kids indoor playground in Evanston built for big energy and easy family days. Children ages 1–12 get unlimited, all-day indoor play in a safe, colorful space. You can jump in and explore with your child or relax in comfortable seating while our team 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 Evanston Playground
Kids love our multi-level maze filled with winding slides, jungle gym passages, ball pits, and obstacle-style paths that keep them moving and giggling. The dance floor adds extra “play big” energy for kids who love to show off their moves.
For younger children, our dedicated toddler zone includes mini slides, soft construction blocks, and a small ball pit — a padded space made for ages 1–3. Like all Kids Empire locations, Evanston offers the same colorful, safety-first experience, with a layout that feels local for families from Evanston, Skokie, Wilmette, and Rogers Park.

Birthday Parties That Make Evanston Families Smile
Kids Empire takes the stress out of birthdays. Pick a customizable party package with all-day play, reserved tables in the open play area (no private rooms), and a dedicated party host who helps with setup and cleanup.
Kids race through the maze, zoom down slides, and dance, while adults stay close for cake, photos, and presents. Weekday or weekend, it’s a celebration that feels simple for you and huge for them. We also host group outings like school field trips and community events for groups of 10+ kids.
