Winter season is upon us and, as the days get shorter and colder, taking the kids to play outside becomes less and less of an option. However, kids still have those impossible-to-keep-up energy levels in need to be spent! It’s time to take the kids to the best indoor activities in Macau to channel all that creative and dynamic pizzazz into a productive and fun day out to entertain them (and keep the adults sane!).

Future Bright Amusement Park
Future Bright Amusement Park definitely delight kids and adults alike! Aim for a strike at one of the 15 bowling lanes, rack up points on one of the many arcade games or show off your best ice skating skills around at the 11,000 square foot ice rink. Is there any more of a “Christmassy” family hangout than going out for ice skating? We don’t think so!
For the little ones head on up to the 2nd floor to the “Future Bright Children World,” where you will find games, activities, and small rides suitable for younger ages. If you need to refuel between activities, there is an onsite McDonald’s and a coffee shop. With so much fun in one arena, your family can spend the whole day in this world of amusement.

FlipOut Battle Beam
Flip Out Trampoline
Flip Out is a trampoline wonderland! If your kids are into bouncing off the floor (and walls), this is the place to be at. The whole arena is designed with a safe, padded environment and there is a specific area for younger kids. And do not feel shy if you feel like jumping around too–adults are welcome to experience the trampoline arena! On the contrary, if you don’t plan on using the facilities, you can visit FlipOut as an accompanying carer to your little one.
Flip Out features nine zones, such as Pinball Tramp, Waterfall, Battle Beam, and Adult Parkour, besides a refreshment shop and seating areas. Added bonus: you can order a pizza from Rossi Trattoria‘s Rossi Pizza and have it delivered to Flip Out Trampoline. This would make for the perfect family hangout!
