From Angry Birds to Popmart: Dream Garden Leads China’s Rise in IP-Themed Playgrounds

The global revolution of IP-themed play

Over the past decade, family entertainment has shifted from equipment to experience. Indoor playgrounds and FECs aren’t just slides and trampolines anymore—they’re immersive, story-driven spaces that blend design, narrative, and emotion.

Canadian manufacturer iPlayCo is one of the pioneers of this shift, partnering with world-class IPs to turn play into culture:

Angry Birds Playland — a multi-level, fully themed adventure where kids can live the game.

PAW Patrol Hero Academy — courage, teamwork, and rescue missions translated from screen to real-world play.

“Life Is a Playground” — a nature-inspired concept that celebrates imagination through oversized florals, soft forms, and light.

Takeaway: IP is the new engine of family entertainment—turning hardware into stories.

Asia’s transformation: from licensees to creators

Across Asia, manufacturers are evolving from OEM producers to creative makers. Collaborations around the Korean animation Larva show that Asian IPs are ready for the global stage and that Chinese builders can deliver themed environments with strong visual identity and solid execution.

This marks a turning point: it’s no longer only about importing Western characters—it’s about telling our own stories.

Popmart: China’s cultural symbol goes global

While Western parks lean on games and cartoon franchises, Popmart represents a new wave of Chinese creativity—transforming collectibles into culture and art into emotion.

Characters such as Labubu, Molly, and Dimoo pair distinct aesthetics with strong fan communities worldwide. They’re tailor-made for immersive family experiences:

A glowing forest-style Labubu Adventure Park.
A chic, family-friendly Molly Dream Café blending play, rest, and lifestyle.
A Popmart × Dream Garden pop-up that merges art, play, and retail into a single brand moment.
