Why families choose Fun Factory for indoor play in Pickering
When the weather turns or you need a safe place for kids to climb, slide, and explore, Fun Factory Play Café on Bayly Street is one of Pickering's most popular indoor playgrounds. Unlike small storefront play areas, our space is a full indoor play centre with multi-level structures, dedicated toddler zones, and open layouts that let parents keep an eye on kids while they play.
Drop-in visits are simple: check our hours, sign the waiver online, and pay per person at the front desk when you arrive. There is no time limit on your visit, which makes Fun Factory a strong choice for playdates, rainy afternoons, and school-break outings across Durham Region.
Families from Liverpool, Amberlea, West Shore, and central Pickering reach us in minutes. We also see regular visitors from Ajax, Whitby, and Scarborough who want a larger indoor playground without driving into downtown Toronto.
What to expect on your first visit
Fun Factory is a socks-only facility. Bring socks for every child and adult, or purchase them at reception for $3. A signed waiver is required for each child before play. Nut-free outside food is welcome; outside drinks are not permitted.
Admission is charged by age group. Under 1 year is $5 (free with a paying sibling). Ages 1–3 are $10, ages 4–13 are $14, and ages 14–17 are $10. Access 2 Card holders receive $2 off drop-in admission rates.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, drop-in admissions are 50% off after 3:30 pm. We are open from 12:00 pm on those days. While kids play, parents can order from Littles & Lattés Café on site.
Toddler-friendly play and parent seating
Our toddler zone gives younger children a safer area to explore at their own pace, separate from the busier climbing structures. Parent seating throughout the facility keeps sight lines open so you can supervise comfortably.
Littles & Lattés Café serves premium coffee, matcha, iced lattes, and snacks so your visit feels like a true play café experience, not just a quick stop. It is one reason Fun Factory stands out among indoor play options in Pickering and the east GTA.
