Slick City Action Park, a US-based indoor slide park and family entertainment centre (FEC), has announced its expansion to the UK.
For its UK launch, Slick City Action Park has teamed up with Activeon, Europe’s leading trampoline park operator.
The two companies will bring Slick City’s concept to multiple European markets, with the first venue to open in the UK at the end of 2025.
This will be followed by additional UK sites, with an expansion into mainland Europe scheduled for early 2026.
“We’ve had tremendous international interest in Slick City since launching just a few years ago, but we were intentional in making Activeon our first partner outside the US,” said Bron Launsby, CEO and founder of Slick City.
“Their unmatched industry expertise, proven operational excellence and understanding of our slides and technology make them the ideal choice to bring Slick City to Europe.
“With their scale and reach, we’re confident this partnership will set the standard for what’s possible in indoor family entertainment globally.
“We anticipate the rollout speed in Europe to reach the same pace as we have seen in the US and look forward to opening over 50 locations in the next few years.”
First UK Slick City to open in 2026
Founded in 2021, Slick City is redefining indoor family entertainment with its signature waterless slides and air courts.
The brand is expanding rapidly, with more than 95 parks already open or in development across 32 US states.
Recent openings include Tulsa, Oklahoma and Arlington, Texas, with between 12 to 14 additional US locations due to open by the end of 2025.
“We’ve watched Slick City transform the indoor leisure market in the US, achieving extraordinary growth in just a few years,” said John Nylen, CEO of Activeon, which has 74 trampoline and leisure parks in eight countries.
“This partnership allows us to bring that same energy and innovation to Europe.”
Petter Haagaas, chief development officer and founder of Activeon, added: “This concept is industry-defining for indoor leisure.
“Slick City offers something truly fresh and dynamic – it’s pure adrenaline indoors. We are thrilled to confirm our first opening in the UK for late 2025, with a large pipeline of projects to follow across the UK, Germany and other European countries shortly after.”
