A 14,000-square-foot Uptown Jungle Fun Park is set to open at Sprouts Plaza on South Rainbow Boulevard by winter 2026, bringing new family entertainment and dining options to southwest Las Vegas neighborhoods.
Southwest Las Vegas is about to get a new indoor playground on a scale the area hasn’t seen before. Uptown Jungle Fun Park, a regional chain known for its multi-level adventure parks, has confirmed plans to open a 14,000-square-foot facility at Sprouts Plaza, 771 S. Rainbow Blvd., targeting a winter 2026 debut.
The move is a direct response to surging demand from families in Summerlin, Spring Valley, Enterprise, and the broader Westside. According to Uptown Jungle Fun Park President & CEO Bradley Collins, the company’s existing North Las Vegas and Henderson locations have seen strong attendance, but southwest Las Vegas has remained underserved—until now.
What to Expect at the New Uptown Jungle
Unlike standard indoor play centers, Uptown Jungle’s new Westside location will feature expansive, multi-story play structures, ninja courses, climbing walls, and a range of attractions designed for active family entertainment. The company’s model goes beyond drop-in play: all-inclusive birthday parties, group events, school and nonprofit fundraisers, and a discounted toddler program on school mornings are all part of the offering.
Families can also expect a dedicated in-house dining concept, UJ Pizza Co., serving signature pizzas, soft pretzels, chicken strips, churros, and other kid-friendly favorites. The goal, according to Collins, is to create a space where families can spend an entire day playing, dining, and celebrating together—without leaving the neighborhood or breaking the bank.
Expansion Driven by Las Vegas Growth
Uptown Jungle Fun Park was co-founded by Bob Krause and Dan Collins in 2014, starting in Southern California before expanding across Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. The brand now operates nine locations, with more in development, and has evolved from simple play areas into full-scale adventure parks. The Las Vegas Valley’s rapid population growth, especially among families in the southwest, has made the region a priority for the company’s next phase.
“This location lets us bring that same convenient, year-round indoor entertainment closer to families who’ve been asking for it,” Collins said. The company is planning a grand opening event, with details on membership promotions and special offers to be announced in the coming months.
Location, Timeline, and Community Impact
The new Uptown Jungle will anchor a prominent spot within Sprouts Plaza, a retail center at the intersection of Rainbow Boulevard and Alta Drive. Its 14,000-square-foot footprint positions it as one of the largest indoor family attractions in the area. The opening is currently slated for winter 2026, pending final buildout and permitting.
For southwest Las Vegas, the arrival of Uptown Jungle signals a shift in the local entertainment landscape. Instead of driving across town for indoor play, families in Summerlin, Spring Valley, and Enterprise will have a large-scale, all-ages destination in their own backyard. The addition of UJ Pizza Co. also brings a new fast-casual dining option to the neighborhood, further integrating the park into daily family routines.
Uptown Jungle’s expansion into the Westside is a calculated bet on the continued growth of Las Vegas’s family market. While the city’s entertainment reputation is often defined by the Strip, the real story is the steady rise of neighborhood attractions that serve residents as much as visitors. If Uptown Jungle delivers on its promise of affordable, all-day fun, it will set a new standard for family entertainment in southwest Las Vegas—and force competitors to rethink what local families expect from an indoor park.
