Smiley Indoor Ocean Is An Ocean-Themed Indoor Playground In Indiana That’s Insanely Fun

Have you ever found yourself bored on a weekend (or, heck, even during the week) wondering what you ought to do, kids in tow (who are also bored and demanding that you fix it)? Well, guess what, Hoosiers - we found the PERFECT place to take them on those days when hanging out around the house simply isn't an option. We found a totally awesome indoor playground in Indiana that's perfect for a day out with the kids; it lives up to its name, too. It's Smiley Indoor Playground & Arcade, and it's the hottest place to be in Indy for kids. Check out what makes this ocean-themed playground so great:

Smiley Indoor Ocean Playground is open six days a week - every day except for Tuesdays - so no matter when you want to bring the kids in, it's a great time.

When we say the place is huge, we mean it - it's huge.

What was that one line from Step Brothers? "There's so much room for activities!"

...yeah, that's the one.

There's a ridiculous amount of room for activities around here. There's the ball pit, the jungle gym, a climbing wall, a couple of different (and totally epic) playgrounds...

...and for the older kids (and the kids-at-heart), there's even an awesome arcade!

It's no secret that your kids could spend hours lost in here, and that's fine - you can buy time inside by the hour or by the full day. No matter what the occasion is and what you might need, you'll find it here.

This might just be THE best place in Indy for kids - well, this, and the Children's Museum.

If we were asked to pick JUST one of the two, we'd have a pretty hard time. How lucky are we that Indianapolis is such a wonderful place for families?

Of course, while they're here, the kids will surely work up an appetite and need a break at the cafe, where there's plenty of food and some epic snacks.

They can't miss the LEGO room, either. Or the Rice Pit Playground. Or... well... guess you'll just have to come see!
