Thrilling play opportunities & relaxing chill space

The huge nets are suspended vertically and horizontally to allow for thrilling climbs with meeting points for chilling. The age-appropriate training of muscles and motor skills when crawling, climbing and navigating through the net-scapes of the Sensory Dome provides children with important play benefits such as strength, stability and confidence in moving.

On the very top of the Dome, a grassy surface meeting point offers a bouncy, fun-to-touch space to rest. On the ground level, varied nets sway when children climb above, creating playful movement and a sense of unity among friends. The transparency of the Sensory Dome makes it a play unit for intense cooperation, consideration and communication across all levels and activities. On the ground level, every activity is accessible and suits all abilities of children.
