EKPE

Amusement and Theme Parks

EKPE

Activate Games Sport Arena is Queensland's first high-tech challenge sports venue located in Chermside and has become one of the most talked-about kids activities Brisbane families return to repeatedly. The venue differs from typical indoor play centres by offering six high-tech challenge rooms packed with 500+ interactive games that respond to movements. Activities include dodging lasers, hitting light-up targets, racing the clock, and competing with friends. The venue works for all ages, as a 7-year-old and a 65-year-old grandparent can play the same game and both enjoy the experience because every room scales in difficulty. This separates the venue from most indoor activities in Brisbane that cater to one age group and leave others bored. The venue is ideal for birthday parties, offering a high-energy experience different from typical party formats. Instead of traditional party activities, the venue provides interactive laser-dodging and gaming experiences that keep children engaged throughout the event.
