Poughkeepsie Galleria is excited to announce that Kids Ultimate Playground is now open on the center’s lower level near Regal Cinemas. Spanning a massive, newly transformed space of nearly 40,000 square feet, this brand-new destination serves as the newest location for the super fun playground concept, bringing an expansive collection of active play attractions, birthday party offerings, and arcade fun to the Hudson Valley.

Designed as a year-round space where children can climb, jump, slide, and explore, Kids Ultimate Playground features colorful slides, tunnels, swinging platforms, trampolines, a ninja course, and a massive ball pit. Guests can also enjoy an action-packed arcade with games and prizes, interactive play areas, and on-site dining options at the facility’s café.

Unlike traditional time-capped play centers, Kids Ultimate Playground features an All-Day Play admission model, allowing families to play at their own pace without feeling rushed. The venue is also set to become a premier destination for hassle-free birthday celebrations and group events for local schools and youth organizations.

“We couldn’t be more excited to bring Kids Ultimate Playground to the center,” said Eric Price, General Manager at Poughkeepsie Galleria. “As the premier shopping and entertainment destination in Dutchess County, our goal is to continuously introduce vibrant, family-friendly experiences to our guests.”

While the facility is open for play now, the official Grand Opening Celebration will be taking place on Saturday, August 8. The center-wide celebration will be packed with non-stop excitement, family-friendly activities, grand opening specials, and exclusive promotions. The first 200 kids will receive special free gifts, and be entered for a raffle for an incredible prize giveaway. Raffle prizes include an Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, life-sized plushies, and much more. More details and schedule announcements for the Grand Opening will be posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages as the date approaches.
