This weekend, ditch the same ol’ Friday brunch and head to Air Maniax for some indoor adventure, akin to a workout. You can tag your kids along too!
What’s It?
Play areas are often restricted to kids, but this indoor adventure park in Al Quoz shows some special love for us adults too.Spread across 23,000 square feet, Air Maniax has 15 fun activities, segregated into 5 zones– an inflatable arena, an interactive obstacle course known as the Warrior Assault; an adventurous zip line known as the Zip Zag, for children who are taller than 130 centimetres; and an arcade-style laser tag game known as the Lazer Frenzy.
They also have two zones dedicated specifically for toddlers between 1 and 4 years.
Getting Started
Once you sign up at the reception, you will be handed a wrist band and a pair of grip socks. The wrist band is a high-tech radio-frequency-connected band which allows you to connect to the FlyCams installed across the play area to capture your moves. Social media junkies, you don’t have to worry about clicking pictures! Your wrist band will do it all for you. This is followed by a small video tour which demonstrates the do’s and don’t’s inside the arena.
Sweat It Out
Get ready to flex your muscles and work up some sweat! From inflatable basketball courts which require you to jump to drop the ball into the hoop, to slides which are almost completely vertical and interactive warrior assault obstacle course, you are sure to come out puffing and panting.
Teenagers can navigate through the arcade-style laser tag or get an aerial view of the arena as they zip line across the area.

What Else?

So, now you know what you’re gonna do this weekend!
