Background
[back to top]
Big Sky is a an indoor adventure play center on the south west side of Peterborough.
Big Sky opened in late 1995 and was taken under new ownership in 2004. Since that time new attractions have been added as well as several refurbishment projects to the whole Big Sky complex. We will continually look for new attractions to add and improve your whole Big Sky experience. Have a look at the rest of our web site to see what's on offer. Visit us soon!
Since new ownership took place Big Sky has now become a registered member of the Play Providers Association. The PPA sets standards and compliance conditions for membership. This includes a regime of annual inspections for 'soft play' facilities. |
