Houston Kids Will Love Galaxy Playland—A New Indoor Playground with Extra Arcade Fun
Looking for a fun new spot to take the kids? We just visited Galaxy Playland, the brand-new indoor playground in on Bellaire Blvd just outside the beltway, and it’s officially a hit! Opened by three local moms, this thoughtfully designed space combines imaginative play, active fun, and arcade games—keeping both little kids and their older siblings entertained (which, let’s be honest, can be hard to find in one place).
If you’re always on the hunt for more great indoor spots, don’t miss our roundup of the Best Indoor Playgrounds in Houston—perfect for keeping kids active and happy year-round!

Galaxy Playland is designed for kids 10 and under, featuring a colorful soft play structure that's perfect for climbing, sliding, and exploring. There’s a pretend play area stocked with a play kitchen, princess dress-up clothes, and an interactive bulldozer dig game where kids can scoop up small prizes. Little ones can also hop on ride-on toys and cruise around the open space, adding to the fun.
What really sets Galaxy apart is the built-in arcade, which gives older kids a reason to get excited too. You'll find claw machines, capsule toy stations, and even a few VR games—a great bonus for siblings who’ve outgrown the playground but still want to play.
The location is easy to access with plenty of free parking in a big lot, and the space itself is compact enough to easily keep an eye on your kids. While there’s no full café, snacks and drinks are available for purchase, which is helpful when little appetites kick in.
We’ve got a quick video of our visit so you can see what to expect before you go—watch it here!
Whether you’re looking for an easy weekday outing, a rainy day escape, or your next birthday party venue, Galaxy Playland is a fun new option to add to your list.

- Grip socks are required for kids (sold onsite)
- Regular socks required for adults
- One adult is free with each paid child admission
- Arcade games require a separate credit purchase
- Galaxy Playground is located at 10788 Bellaire Blvd, Houston, TX 7707
