Weekly update

India’s indoor playground industry is expanding rapidly. Families are seeking safe, creative, and gadget-free play zones for children, and successful brands like Sim & Sam’s Playtown in Hyderabad have proven that quality indoor playgrounds can quickly become community favorites.

For investors planning to open play centers in India, the question is: where to source reliable equipment? The answer for many is China. As Dream Garden, a professional indoor playground supplier better known globally as the “Toymaker in China”, we have helped multiple Indian brands successfully import and install playground solutions.
