The owner of Kids Zone Family Entertainment Centre says he saw a need in Steinbach and, in answer, opened a place for young families to enjoy.

Eddy Noll explains the indoor playground was an idea he found in Winnipeg and thought it would be beneficial to open such a place in Steinbach, that way families wouldn't have to drive to Winnipeg and there would be more recreational opportunities during the winter for young families.

"The winter is very long, probably the biggest season that we have," notes Noll. "There isn't really much to do for kids and, having kids, we are kind of at that end of having the experience of not being able to go anywhere. So, primarily, the thought was just to have something for our kids, but now it will also provide something for all kids."

He says families have been surprised by the amount of children's entertainment they have and Noll adds it's been interesting to see how parents get competitive while playing Foosball, air hockey or basketball. The Kids Zone Family Entertainment Centre is located at 277 Highway 12 North and will be having their grand opening on Friday from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m.
