London, September 22–24: Come Find Us at IAAPA Expo Europe
Quick heads-up for everyone in the industry: IAAPA Expo Europe lands in London this September, and we'd love to see you there. Not in a "please visit our booth" corporate way—more like, let's actually sit down and talk about what's happening in your market.
The short version: ExCeL London, September 22–24. Our booth is S739. Ask for Morris—phone or WhatsApp +86 181 5771 8882.
What This Show Actually Is
IAAPA has been around since 1918. It's the biggest permanent attractions industry association in the world—over 8,000 member companies across more than 100 countries. Expo Europe is its flagship event for this region, and it pulls in park operators, investors, manufacturers, and creative teams from everywhere.
This year's edition is in London. And honestly, shows like this are where the deals start. You walk the floor, you see what's actually new, you talk to people who've been through what you're about to go through.
Why Bother With Our Booth
Here's the thing about Pokiddo: we're not a showroom. We run 60-plus branded venues ourselves. When we say we understand production, operations, and profit, that's not a slogan—that's what we do every day with our own stores.
So whether you're an investor shopping for a supplier, an entrepreneur thinking about crossing into this industry, someone tracking European market trends, or a chain operator scouting your next location, we'll sit down and talk about the real stuff: your needs, your pain points, what's actually worked and what hasn't.
Proof We're Not Just Talking
You don't have to take our word for it. We've built projects in 126 countries. A few highlights, including several right here in Europe:
In Gran Canaria, Spain, we delivered a 2,000 sq.m indoor-plus-outdoor adventure park—concept to opening in about four and a half months, through eight rounds of plan revisions and four rounds of 3D visual work. In Portugal, we helped an indoor park evolve through the seasons, adding an outdoor water zone and party models that turned the off-season into a peak.
In Atlanta, we helped a second-generation Chinese restaurant family make the leap into this business. They passed 1,900 members in three months, and weekend party bookings ran into the following April. That same client opened their second location in Staten Island, New York this February—over 4,000 sq.m of family sports and entertainment space. In Kuwait, we delivered a 1,500 sq.m family park in 2022 and have kept it running and upgraded ever since. In Nairobi, Kenya, we built a family entertainment landmark from zero, giving the local investor a head start on market share.
The thread running through all of it: site analysis, design planning, manufacturing, installation, operations—the whole chain, handled by one team.
What You'll See at S739
We're not dragging a pile of brochures. At the booth you'll find:
Immersive space design concepts—not single machines, but full park scenarios. Our upgraded product lines: high-altitude adventure, climbing challenges, trampoline matrices, digital interactive zones—something for every age group. And we'll happily explain our operations-first approach to planning, like why two parks of the same size can differ by double in revenue per square meter based purely on traffic flow.
Bring your floor plan or your rough idea. We'll look at it with you on the spot and tell you honestly what works.
Getting There
ExCeL is in the Royal Victoria Dock area, east London, and it's genuinely easy to reach.
From Heathrow, take the Elizabeth Line straight to Custom House—about an hour, and the station opens right onto the venue's west entrance. From Gatwick, it's roughly 90 minutes: Gatwick Express to Victoria, then the Tube to Custom House. (Or Thameslink to London Bridge, Jubilee Line to Canning Town, then the DLR.) From London City Airport, you're looking at about five minutes on the DLR—it's the closest airport to the venue.
If you're driving or taking a taxi, set the sat-nav to ExCeL London, One Western Gateway, Royal Victoria Dock, E16 1XL. There is parking, but it fills up fast on show days, so public transport is the safer bet. Once you're inside, head for the South Event Halls, Zone S7.
Before You Come
Three practical things. Sort your UK visa early—at least a month or two ahead, it can take a while. Pre-register on the IAAPA website so you're not queuing at the door. And if you want a proper deep-dive conversation rather than a quick hello, message Morris in advance and he'll block out time and prep materials for your project.
What We Can Dig Into Together
If you're weighing up how to start a trampoline park in Europe—or anywhere, honestly—bring your questions. We can talk through what the trampoline park cost really adds up to once compliance, shipping, and installation are in the mix. You can get hands-on with the trampoline park equipment we manufacture ourselves, ask about our indoor trampoline park design process, which starts with your site data rather than a template. And if you're torn between a trampoline park franchise cost model and going direct with a trampoline park manufacturer, we'll lay out what each actually delivers over five years.
The future of fun is a big phrase, but it's also a practical one. Come find us at Booth S739 and let's talk about your slice of it.
