Three levels, properly
Not a single platform with a slide bolted on. Children climb up through netted levels and come down the slides, which is the part that tires them out.
A Fort Rock guide
An indoor park
in Fort Myers.
Indoor park, indoor play area, play place, soft play. Different names for the same thing: somewhere a child can run hard, indoors, out of the Florida heat.
What people mean
Indoor park,
play place, soft play.
People search for the same room under half a dozen names. An indoor park, an indoor play area, a play place, soft play, an adventure park. In Fort Myers they usually mean somewhere a child can run hard, indoors, out of the heat.
Fort Rock's version is five thousand square feet of it. A three-level play structure with netted sides and padded posts, slides coming off the top levels, a Kids Village of playhouses at ground level, and a separate area for the youngest ones who are not ready to be in among bigger children.
It sits inside a ten thousand square foot building, with an indoor climbing center on the other side. That matters if you have a mixed-age family: the older child has somewhere to go that is not a toddler slide.
A village at ground level
Playhouses with doors and windows, ride-on toys and a play street. This is where the three and four year olds spend the whole session.
A toddler area of its own
Separated from the main structure, so the smallest children are not being climbed over. Saturday Toddler Time is $10.
Parents sit down
Seating with sightlines across the structure, and parents enter free. A two-hour session is $16.99 a child.
The practical bit
Socks, waivers
and when to come.
Three things worth knowing before a first visit, all of which save time at the desk.
Non-slip socks are required on the play structure for everyone going in, children and any adult who follows them up. They are available at the desk if you forget.
Every child needs a completed waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian. Doing it online beforehand is quicker than doing it in the queue. Complete one here.
Weekday mornings are the quietest, which suits toddlers. Weekends and school breaks are busiest, and reservations are recommended. The playground is open nine to five every day. Call (239) 922-7158.
Before you come
Quick
answers.
Anything else, just call. We would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Ask the teamIs there an indoor park in Fort Myers?
Yes. Fort Rock has a five thousand square foot indoor playground on Alico Road, air conditioned, with a three-level play structure, slides, a Kids Village and a separate toddler area. It is open nine to five daily.
What is the difference between this and a trampoline park?
There are no trampolines here. It is a climbing and play structure with netted levels and slides, plus a playhouse village at ground level, which suits younger children and makes for a calmer room.
What ages does the indoor play area suit?
Roughly eight and under, with a separate area for toddlers inside it. Older children usually prefer the climbing center on the other side of the building.
Do I need to stay with my child?
Yes. A parent or guardian stays on site throughout. There is seating with clear views across the structure, and parents enter free.
Do we need non-slip socks?
Yes, for anyone going on the structure. They are on sale at the desk if you arrive without them.
Air conditioned, every day
