Sensory Dome
A world of wonder & thrilling climbing
Touching, feeling, seeing. The Sensory Dome is a wondrous sensory playscape that combines thrilling climbing with numerous sensory play explorations. It is designed to allow children to play together across all levels and abilities.
Thrilling play opportunities & relaxing chill space
The huge nets are suspended vertically and horizontally to allow for thrilling climbs with meeting points for chilling. The age-appropriate training of muscles and motor skills when crawling, climbing and navigating through the net-scapes of the Sensory Dome provides children with important play benefits such as strength, stability and confidence in moving.
On the very top of the Dome, a grassy surface meeting point offers a bouncy, fun-to-touch space to rest. On the ground level, varied nets sway when children climb above, creating playful movement and a sense of unity among friends. The transparency of the Sensory Dome makes it a play unit for intense cooperation, consideration and communication across all levels and activities. On the ground level, every activity is accessible and suits all abilities of children.
