What Makes Our Southlands Indoor Playground Special?
Kids Empire Southlands is built for big energy and big smiles. Our multi-level playground maze is packed with padded passages, winding slides, and obstacle-style routes that keep kids moving and imagining. Little ones get their own toddler zone with mini slides, soft construction blocks, and a kid-sized ball pit, and everyone loves the dance floor for quick breaks and extra giggles.
You'll get the same trusted Kids Empire experience families love — with an easy Aurora setup near E-470 and Smoky Hill Road. Best part: admission is valid all day, so you can step out for a bite on Main Street (Southlands has plenty of restaurant options right there) and come back ready for round two.

Birthday Parties That Celebrate Big in Southlands
Kids Empire Southlands makes birthdays feel fun for parents, too. Our customizable packages include all-day play, reserved tables in the open play area (no private rooms), and a dedicated party host to help with setup and cleanup so you can focus on your child.
Kids spend the party racing through the maze, sliding, dancing, and diving into the ball pit, while adults gather at the tables for cake and presents. You're welcome to bring cake and decorations (no wall hangings for safety). We're a popular pick for families across Cherry Creek School District and nearby communities.
Planning beyond birthdays? We also welcome field trips and group events for 10+ kids — great for schools, camps, and community organizations.
