EPARK recently completed a compact kids-focused arcade zone in Canada, designed specifically for a small indoor location with limited floor space. The project features a customized selection of child-friendly arcade machines, including a children’s basketball machine, kiddie rides, racing game machines, claw machines, and mini game machines.
The goal was to create a safe, colorful, and highly engaging play zone that fits perfectly into a smaller venue while still offering strong entertainment value and profitability.

The client needed:
A small-footprint game area suitable for young children
Machines that are safe, easy to understand, and visually attractive
A balanced mix of motion games, redemption games, and interactive play
Low maintenance and reliable machines for daily operation
A layout that maximizes the play value within limited square footage
Designed at kid-friendly height
Bright LED panels and soft basketballs
Promotes active play and physical movement
Always popular in small family entertainment zones
Gentle speed, cartoon-style design
Safe seats and smooth motion programs
Ideal for toddlers and young children needing calm, enjoyable rides
Adds strong family appeal to the venue
Two-player options available
Simple steering and pedal controls
Vivid colors and fantasy racing scenes perfect for kids
Encourages friendly competition while staying safe and accessible
Compact size optimized for small game zones
High attraction with LED lights and cute plush prizes
Easy gameplay designed for children
Provides strong repeat-play motivation and stable revenue
Cartoon-themed cabinets
Simple button/joystick gameplay
Low difficulty levels tailored to ages 3–10
Great for filling small gaps and increasing play variety
Despite the limited size, EPARK designed a layout that:
Ensures easy parent supervision
Provides a safe walking path for children
Balances active games (basketball, racing) with quiet games (mini machines, rides)
Uses bright colors to visually expand the space
Avoids overcrowding while still offering five different game categories
After installation, the Canadian client experienced:
Steady daily traffic from families and children
High usage of kiddie rides and mini game machines
Strong earnings from claw machines, even with small prizes
Easy management due to coin-operation and low maintenance
A fast ROI because the entire setup fits small locations with low rent
This project shows that a small space can still become a profitable, kid-focused game zone with the right equipment selection and professional layout planning.
