Space age indoor playground Area 51 will open at Skygate near Brisbane Airport in 2027.
The facility will cover more than 7000 square metres, making it the largest indoor Area 51 footprint to date.
It will include climbing arenas, trampolines, ninja-style obstacle courses, inflatables, sports court, high ropes, toddler-zone and a cafe.
The space will be available for corporate events and birthday parties.
When it opens in late 2027, Area 51 Skygate will be the seventh playground of its type in Queensland.
Brisbane Airport Executive General Manager Commercial Scott Norris said Area 51 complemented the growing mix of retail, dining and leisure experiences at Skygate.
“We are continuing to build Skygate’s momentum as an experience-driven destination where families can spend the day together,” he said.
“We’re expanding beyond the already popular DFO, Woolworths and other shopping options to create a place where people can spend the whole day playing, dining and exploring.”
Area 51 World Chief Operating Officer Michael Affleck said the new Skygate location would be the biggest yet.
“We are incredibly excited to bring one of our newest locations to this community and create a space where people of all ages can come together to play, connect, and make lasting memories,” he said.
“Our goal has always been to deliver more than just entertainment, we want to create a community hub that offers adventure, energy, and experiences for families, friends, and groups.”
The Skygate precinct recently hosted live-entertainment giant Fever with it’s first pop-up exhibition Dino’s Alive.
