Fun and Active Play Erupts at Eden Prairie’s Indoor Playground Lava Island
In the middle of a Minnesota winter, nothing sounds better than a tropical escape, right? A trip to Lava Island is a whole lot cheaper than a beach getaway — no plane ticket required — and if you close your eyes, you might just believe you’re on an exotic island.
Lava Island is in Eden Prairie, brings tons of active fun to families with its massive 41,000-square-foot, tropical-themed indoor playground filled with foam pits, trampolines, and more.

Expansive Indoor Playground in Eden Prairie
Lava Island is filled with volcanoes, exotic animals, and a tropical vibe. It feels like five playgrounds in one, with a multi-story play structure, a trampoline room, and foam pits. Kids and adults who love to play can all join in the fun together. One of their signatures is a massive volcano slide, which kids will delight in climbing to the top and racing down.
If all of that playing has your tummy grumbling, Lava Island has a variety of food and drinks available for purchase on-site, like chicken tenders, pizza, smoothies, and coffee. They are also located right next door to a Chick-fil-A restaurant and many more dining spots if you want to pick up lunch or dinner after a play session.
Dedicated Toddler Area
Parents of younger children will appreciate Lava Island’s special section for younger visitors, which is in a separate area from the rest of the park. This space is expected to include soft climbing structures, smaller slides, and age-appropriate toys. This means every member of the family (no matter how small) can join in on the fun!
