Indoor Playground in Manville, NJ
Welcome to Kids Empire — a kids indoor playground in Manville built for big energy and easy family days. Located at Manville Market Place Plaza, just 2 minutes from Main Street, 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 staff helps supervise the fun. Since admission is valid all day, you can step out and return later the same day.
All Day Indoor Fun at Our Manville Playground
Kids love our multi-level maze packed with winding slides, jungle gym passages, ball pits, and obstacle-style routes that keep them moving and giggling. The dance floor adds extra “play big” energy for kids who love to show off their moves.
Little ones have a dedicated toddler zone with mini slides, soft construction blocks, and a small ball pit — a padded space that’s just right for ages 1–3. Like all Kids Empire parks, Manville offers the same colorful, safety-first experience with a friendly local feel for families who also enjoy nearby favorites like Manville Public Library, Lincoln Avenue Park, and River View Park.
