Happy kids, relieved parents – the power of play corners along the holiday route!
Family trips often come with their own surprises, especially in the lead-up to summer. As you travel toward your holiday destination, whether through France or elsewhere in Europe, you’ll spot IKC play elements at various motorway service areas. A fun discovery and a reminder of the positive impact these play corners can have in busy locations during the summer months.
Service areas are typically places of transition, meant for taking a break between travel stages. For families, they’re the perfect opportunity to catch their breath, let the children move around, and continue the journey with renewed energy. A well-designed kids’ corner makes these stops more pleasant for everyone, especially during long drives. Children can release their energy, parents get a moment of rest, and the whole family travels on feeling more relaxed.
For service area operators, offering a play space for young visitors means enhancing the overall customer experience, strengthening their brand image, and building loyalty among families who will remember the location positively. It’s also a smart way to encourage families to stop at their site. A well-thought-out play area can truly make a difference.
Some of these spaces are now equipped with interactive touchscreens. A modern and engaging solution that suits all age groups. The screens offer a variety of games tailored to different skill levels and stages of development, ensuring that every child finds something fun to do. It’s a simple and effective way to keep children entertained while parents take a break, enjoy a coffee, or plan the next leg of their journey.
