City Play & City Play Littles in Cullman

Looking for an indoor spot where your kids can run, climb, bounce, and imagine to their hearts’ content? Just about an hour south of Huntsville, City Play in Cullman is a fantastic summer road trip destination for families with young kids, and it’s totally worth the drive.

🌟 Two Ways to Play: Big Kids + Littles

CityPlay: Big Fun for Kids 12 & Under

Designed for children ages 12 and under, CityPlay features a towering multi-level play structure complete with slides, tunnels, climbing elements, and even a Ninja Course. The equipment is big enough that most adults can enter and walk through comfortably (perfect if you need to extract a kiddo mid-play).

Surrounding the play area are plenty of benches for caregivers to sit and watch, and there’s also a snack bar where you can purchase snacks and drinks. A seating area with tables and a large screen TV, free Wi-Fi, and clean, well-maintained bathrooms make it easy for adults to relax while the kids run wild. There are even tables outside so you can enjoy your snack while enjoying the sunny weather.

In addition to the play structure, CityPlay includes other activities and games like foosball, air hockey, basketball, and a soft play area for younger siblings. It’s a great space for mixed-age groups, and parents will appreciate the ability to supervise easily from the sidelines or jump in on the action if they want to.
