When kids walk into an arcade, they all have a different mission. One child wants to collect as many tickets as possible and pick out a prize. Another wants to race at top speed, battle dinosaurs, or test their skills. Someone else heads straight for the claw machine, hoping this will finally be the time they grab that prize. And sometimes, the best part of the arcade has nothing to do with tickets or prizes at all—it’s simply playing a game together as a family. At Inflatable Wonderland Austin, located inside Lakeline Mall in Cedar Park, the fun goes beyond bouncing and sliding. Families can also enjoy a variety of arcade games, video games, skill challenges, claw machines, kiddie rides, and family-friendly games. Here’s a guide to some of the different ways kids and families can enjoy the arcade. ... more

If you have more than one child—or you’ve ever organized a playdate—you probably know the challenge. One child wants to bounce. Another wants to climb. Someone wants the biggest slide they can find.

Finding something fun for kids to do around Cedar Park doesn’t always have to mean choosing just one activity. Sometimes, the best family outing is simply a place where kids can choose their own adventure. That’s the idea behind a day at Inflatable Wonderland at Lakeline Mall. Instead of being built around only one kind of play, kids can move from bouncing to climbing, sliding, exploring and playing—all under one roof. ... more
