Indoor multi-activity adventure park FunParx is set to open this summer in the former Debenhams unit at Castle Quay shopping centre in Banbury, Oxfordshire.
FunParx to open indoor adventure park at Castle Quay
FunParx said the space will offer a vibrant indoor playground for all ages covering 50,000 sq ft of activity zones, with a capacity of up to 250 people per hour.
Visitors can expect a giant inflatable arena with ball pits, ninja-style assault courses, obstacle challenges, slide zones, arcade games, inflatable sports pitches, carnival-style games and soft play areas.
There will also be a bar games section with a pool table and an air hockey zone.
The attraction will create 50 new jobs in Banbury, making it a major addition to the town’s leisure and employment offering, according to FunParx.
Oliver Wren, centre director at Castle Quay, said 2025 was “a landmark year for Castle Quay, with more than two million visitors enjoying our Waterfront and The Light continuing to attract people of all ages”.
He added: “We’ve also seen strong confidence from our retail and leisure partners through a number of key lease renewals, which shows just how far Castle Quay has come.
“It’s incredibly exciting to be building on that momentum in 2026, with the relocation of Banbury Library and now the fantastic news that FunParx will be joining us.
“Our vision is for Castle Quay to be a place where people come to spend time, not just shop and FunParx will add another brilliant reason for families and young people to visit and enjoy the town centre.”
Castle Quay underwent a £65m refurbishment from a traditional retail space to a canal-side destination for shopping, dining, entertainment and culture.
