1.1 The Commercial Transformation of Hohhot Binhai Life Plaza
In Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, FunXpert responded to the shift from traditional retail to experiential activities by opening a flagship store at Binhai Life Plaza. Executed by the Liben Group, this project—a comprehensive indoor playground development—demonstrates how strategic spatial design, modular attraction engineering, and commercial safety standards can be combined to increase foot traffic, extend customer dwell time, and drive revenue growth at Binhai Life Plaza.

2.Spatial Zone Planning
Designing a profitable indoor trampoline park within a shopping mall requires very thoughtful space planning. Therefore, our design team has divided the facility into several distinct functional zones.
2.1 High-Performance Free-Jumping and Wall Trampoline Area
In the center of the venue, we’ve installed heavy-duty galvanized steel springs and imported high-rebound mats in a grid-like layout. In addition, we have incorporated sloped trampoline walls to allow teenagers and adult users to practice professional gymnastics moves or parkour techniques. Since the weight load on the trampolines is highly concentrated during peak hours, all support legs are made of thick, high-grade structural steel tubing. Furthermore, we have applied rust-resistant powder coating to all steel tubing to prevent metal fatigue or oxidation resulting from long-term, high-intensity use.
2.2 Multi-Level Ninja Warrior Challenge Arena
The Ninja Warrior Challenge course is located right next to the central jumping area and is specifically designed for energetic teens, young adults, and corporate teams. We constructed the entire structure using sturdy steel trusses and suspended all obstacles above deep foam pits and airbags. Additionally, the framework incorporates modular connection brackets. As a result, venue operators can replace individual obstacle components—such as swinging logs, climbing nets, and suspension bridges—at any time without having to shut down the entire area or dismantle the main framework.
2.3Elevated Slide Tower and Dry Snow Donut Slide
We took full advantage of the excellent ceiling height inside Binhai Life Plaza to construct a towering slide tower. This slide tower has become the most eye-catching landmark in the entire venue, visible to visitors from a distance. Visitors can experience the thrill of a high-speed descent down multi-lane fiberglass slides or ride a donut-shaped tube down the slide into a giant inflatable airbag. Additionally, the slide surfaces are made of an extremely smooth polymer composite material. As a result, visitors can enjoy the excitement of a high-speed slide without any concern about skin abrasions or wear and tear on the equipment.
2.4 Interactive Toddler Play Area and Parent Lounge
During the layout design phase, we prioritized family comfort and child safety above all else. We constructed the toddler play area using non-toxic, easy-to-clean PVC padding and safety netting to effectively prevent accidental falls. Furthermore, we established a parent café and lounge area with an unobstructed view right next to the toddler play area. This allows parents to relax and enjoy a cup of tea while easily keeping an eye on their children. This integrated layout has significantly boosted the venue’s food and beverage revenue.
3.Safety Certification and Material Integrity
Commercial operators and real estate asset managers must uphold rigorous safety certifications to mitigate liability risks. During fabrication and installation, Liben Group executed strict quality control procedures:
3.1 Galvanized Steel Framework
Frame structures undergo hot-dip galvanization internally and externally to prevent corrosion caused by humidity variations.
3.2ASTM & EN1176 Compliance
Every trampoline module, climbing wall, and connecting harness strictly aligns with ASTM F2970-13 and European EN1176 safety standards for commercial play equipment.
3.3Flame-Retardant Padding
Foam pits and wall protection mats utilize non-toxic, flame-retardant PVC fabric, satisfying commercial building fire protection codes.
For commercial operators evaluating reliable production standards, partnering with an experienced trampoline park equipment supplier ensures long-term operational compliance and structural longevity.
4. Commercial Space Synergy and Regional Differentiation Strategies
In a commercial real estate environment where homogenized competition is becoming increasingly intense, the Hohhot branch of “Happy Special+” has not limited itself to being merely a “children’s playground.” Instead, through clever commercial space synergy and unique brand positioning, the venue has created a powerful “siphon effect” within Binhai Life Plaza.
4.1 Cross-Sector Collaboration with the Mall’s Food & Beverage and Retail Tenants
Through co-branded discount coupons and a points-exchange system, the venue has established deep partnerships with the mall’s dining brands and children’s clothing stores. Families who have played their fill can dine and shop directly within the mall, creating a closed-loop family consumption experience that combines “play, dining, and shopping,” which has significantly increased the average transaction value for the entire mall.
4.2 Creating a Regional Youth Sports Competition IP
To overcome the limitation of traditional amusement parks—where visitors “go once and never return”—the venue utilizes its Ninja Challenge Zone and high-altitude trampoline area to regularly host the “Hohhot Youth Fitness Challenge.” These competitive and social events have successfully attracted large numbers of teenagers and parents to return regularly, establishing the venue as a well-known family social hub in Hohhot.
4.3 “Generation-Gap-Free” Accompaniment Experiences for All Ages
Many traditional indoor amusement parks focus solely on children, neglecting the parents’ experience. From the very beginning of its design, Happy Special+ specifically incorporated high-intensity trampoline and high-altitude challenge activities suitable for adults. As a result, not only do children have fun, but young parents can also participate, completely resolving the pain point of parents finding it “a chore to accompany their children,” and significantly extending the average time families spend at the venue.
5. Seamless Delivery Process from Factory Manufacturing to On-Site Installation
The successful completion of the Hohhot Binhai Life Plaza project—on time and to the required quality standards—was made possible by a standardized and transparent cross-regional delivery process. As a professional turnkey indoor playground manufacturer, Liben Group demonstrated rigorous engineering management capabilities throughout this project.
5.1 Factory Pre-assembly and Quality Testing
Before being packed for shipment, all equipment undergoes trial assembly at our standard production facility. This not only allows us to identify and resolve dimensional deviations in components in advance but also ensures rapid, error-free integration during on-site installation.
5.2 Professional On-site Installation Guidance
Upon arrival of the equipment in Hohhot, we dispatched a team of experienced engineers to provide on-site guidance throughout the entire process. The installation process proceeded strictly in accordance with the pre-approved engineering drawings, with every step—from drilling and securing the steel structure to sewing the safety mats—carried out by qualified professionals.
5.3 Third-Party Safety Testing and Compliance Delivery
Prior to the official opening, the entire facility underwent rigorous third-party safety tensile and load-bearing tests to ensure that all equipment fully complies with national and international safety standards.
Industry professionals seeking information on internationally recognized safety testing standards and equipment load-bearing specifications may refer to the relevant technical guidance documents published by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) to establish a more comprehensive technical quality assessment system when planning their own projects.
