People enjoying the 4D Motion rideu00a0- X Rider
Shalini Vij, owner and curator, Hang Out, says: "After returning from the US, I felt the need for a place where kids can spend quality time with their parents. The aim was to provide people with a safe family destination where they can have an exciting time." Rainforest is the theme of Hang Out. The amusement centre has been given a jungle look with the help of artificial trees and creepers on the walls and ceilings. "The scope for family entertainment had been pretty limited so far. Moreover, the climate forces people to mostly stay indoors. That is the reason why we have converted an outdoor entertainment concept into a high quality indoor place," adds Vij.
Au00a0space for all
The amusement venue for kids covers an area of 10,000 sq ft. However, this space offers a wide array of things for other age groups as well. So even parents and grandparents can unleash the child in them. The place also boasts of the first ever 3D/4D Motion Ride Theatre of India. It offers stuff like X Rider, Mini Rider and Typhoon with bubbles, wind and blizzards which promise an adrenaline rush.
Other exciting rides include the Jumbo Jackpot, Colorama, Candy Factory, Rambo and many more.
You can also check out games like Deal or No Deal. There is also a play area for toddlers of upto five years called Tots Soft play area. This is an indoor modular playground with foamed toys, ball pool, indoor kiddie rides and coin-operated games and a food and beverage outlet. It even has a little Jungle Safari to keep kids busy while their parents can try their hand at virtual golf and bowling games.
Show zone
There's more in the form of a performance stage where Monku (Hang Out's mascot) will make an appearance every hour with a whole lot of musical entertainment. You can also book theu00a0 place for your tiny one's birthday. They also have five birthday packages which are inclusive of invites, food, beverages, games and rides. Ashima Middha, a visitor and mother of a two-year-old, says: "I got to know about this place from someone and so I got my kid to see if he likes it before I book the place for his birthday party. And he is just loving it."
Being a mother of two herself, Vij realises the importance of safety. She says: "To ensure that parents can leave their children in a safe environment, each child will have the parent's contact number tagged on the wrist to ensure prompt action in case of emergencies."
