Hyper Kidz Indoor Playground Coming to Blaine, Minnesota

A major new family attraction is on its way to Blaine, Minnesota. The Blaine City Council has approved plans for Hyper Kidz, a national indoor playground franchise, to move into the western half of the former Best Buy building at 10985 Ulysses St. NE, just off Highway 65.

From Vacant Store to Family Hotspot

The 45,000-square-foot building was originally constructed in 2007 for Best Buy, which closed its doors in 2017. Since then, half of the property has been filled by an Aldi grocery store, but the other half—roughly 22,400 square feet—has sat empty for years. That’s about to change as Hyper Kidz moves in, bringing a new wave of energy to the space.

What Families Can Expect

Hyper Kidz calls itself “the ultimate indoor playground,” and for good reason. The Blaine location will feature multiple activity areas tailored to different age groups, along with spaces for soccer, basketball, and other active play. Private party rooms will make it a go-to destination for birthday celebrations, while the café and kitchen will offer food and drinks so parents can relax during visits.

This mix of entertainment and amenities positions Hyper Kidz Blaine as more than just a play space—it’s designed to be a full family experience, especially valuable during Minnesota’s long winters.

A Growing National Brand

Founded in 2018, Hyper Kidz has quickly expanded across the country, now operating 25 locations in 12 states. The Blaine location will be its first in Minnesota, signaling both the brand’s continued growth and Blaine’s appeal as a family-friendly community in the Twin Cities north metro.

What’s Next

According to city records, the project won’t require extensive renovations beyond some interior construction and buildout. While no official opening date has been announced, the approval of permits and construction will be the next step before families can enjoy the new attraction.

For residents of Blaine and surrounding suburbs, this development represents both a new entertainment option and a positive reuse of long-vacant retail space.

Final Thoughts

Hyper Kidz Blaine is a welcome addition for local families, especially those looking for indoor activities during Minnesota’s colder months. Whether for a birthday party, playdate, or just burning off energy on a snowy day, this new playground is sure to become a favorite in the north metro.
