Enchanted Forest Indoor Playground Creates Magical Family Destination in Costa Rica

Project Overview

Date: March 18, 2023

Location: Costa Rica

Project Name: Enchanted Forest Indoor Playground

Alonso’s goal was to build an immersive, enchanting play area that combined natural forest elements with modern indoor play equipment, creating a captivating experience for children and a relaxing environment for parents.

Alonso Miguel Pérez, a forward-thinking investor in Costa Rica, leased a 600㎡ space inside a busy shopping mall. Inspired by a friend’s successful indoor playground business, Alonso decided to enter the market with a unique concept that could attract families and generate strong returns. After reviewing Miland’s product catalog, he selected the Enchanted Forest Indoor Playground theme to bring a touch of magic to his venture.

Design Concept & Planning

Miland designed a fully customized Enchanted Forest Indoor Playground that integrates imaginative play with nature-inspired aesthetics:

Forest-themed climbing structures resembling trees, vines, and mushroom houses

Soft play zones designed as cozy forest clearings with colorful flora and fauna motifs

Interactive elements such as treasure hunts, sensory panels, and hidden nooks that stimulate curiosity and learning

Slides and tunnels crafted to mimic natural forms like hollow logs and waterfalls

Mood lighting and natural colors enhancing the immersive, dreamlike atmosphere

This design encourages exploration and active play while supporting safety and accessibility for children of all ages.

Project Process: From Vision to Reality

We began by closely collaborating with Alonso to understand his vision, target audience, and mall space constraints. Our 3D renderings helped him visualize every corner of the playground, enabling seamless feedback and iteration. Production prioritized quality materials and safety certifications to ensure a durable and child-friendly environment.

Installation was coordinated to minimize disruption to the mall’s operations. We provided comprehensive training for the client’s staff to optimize daily operations and guest engagement.

Operation & Feedback

Since opening, the Enchanted Forest Indoor Playground has become a beloved family hotspot. Visitors praise its magical ambiance and variety of play options, leading to high repeat visits and longer dwell times. Alonso reported a significant increase in foot traffic and steady revenue growth, validating the strong market demand for themed indoor play spaces.

Buoyed by this success, Alonso plans to expand his portfolio with additional themed playgrounds and partners closely with Miland for future projects.
