OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Indoor play areas are part of a $28 billion industry expected to grow 10% by 2030, offering families climate-controlled entertainment options during harsh winter months.
- A new indoor play space called Doze and Dig is set to open near 180th and Q Street in west Omaha this spring.
- “They’re obviously very popular, especially on days like today, right, when it’s cold and nobody’s going outside to play. So it provides an alternative, I think, to people who want to go do something out of their house, keep the kids active,” said David Fanslau, Omaha’s city planning director.
- The founder of Doze and Dig says the concept is also about providing parents with security and predictability when planning activities with their children.
