Engage the warp engines in an out-of-this-world adventure with the UFO Playground Plan, a substantial 22x22-foot flying saucer playhouse that combines retro sci-fi charm with imaginative play. Designed for children aged 3–10, this three-level structure features a central "tractor beam" access ladder, a full wraparound porch and retro vibes throughout. The open dome top with a satellite dish adds to the authentic UFO aesthetic, making it a standout feature in any backyard.
While the playset's design is inspired by classic 1950s sci-fi movies, it offers modern play features that kids will love. The themed entryway ramp and portholes complete the UFO look, sparking endless imaginative scenarios. With over 200 square feet of usable interior play space, there's plenty of room for kids to explore, play, and create their own alien adventures.
