In an exciting new venture, Kidztivity has teamed up with Airparx, a leader in the family entertainment centre (FEC) industry, to launch a pioneering Training Academy. This collaboration aims to enhance the quality of training for professionals working with children and young people, ensuring that every visit to a Family Entertainment Centre is both engaging and enriching.
The Growing FEC Market
The FEC market has seen significant growth over recent years, driven by a demand for engaging and interactive experiences for families. With innovations in equipment and installations, the need for specialised training has never been more crucial. This partnership between Kidztivity and Airparx represents a significant step forward in providing top-tier training to enhance the quality of experiences offered at these centres.
A Focus on Quality Training
Chris Sharman, founder and Managing Director of Kidztivity, emphasises the importance of delivering world-class training to Family Entertainment Centres. “Our goal is to elevate the quality of training available, leading to exceptional experiences that foster a love for physical activity and sports in young people,” Chris states. By aligning Kidztivity’s expertise in training and consultancy with Airparx’s innovative equipment, the partnership aims to provide unparalleled support to FECs globally.
Rob Christie, Chief Commercial Officer at Airparx, adds, “We’re delighted to be partnered with a well-respected children’s activities training provider, that is Kidztivity. As the industry is evolving, it’s important to us that children are harnessing the benefit of fun and physical exercise when using our equipment.”

Looking Ahead
This partnership marks the second high-profile collaboration for Kidztivity in the FEC world, following their successful partnership with Oxygen Activity Parks in 2023. As Kidztivity continues to expand its offerings, the commitment to delivering outstanding experiences for children remains at the forefront.
Chris Sharman will be attending IAAPA Europe next month, where he will join the Airparx team to discuss training opportunities with existing and new customers. Visit Airparx at booth no. 12731 on the 24th, 25th, and 26th September 2024 at IAAPA Europe in Amsterdam.
“This is the first of what I hope will be a series of ‘powered by Kidztivity’ Training Academies. We aim to deliver outstanding experiences to children, encouraging them to develop physical skills and, above all, a love of being active,” Chris reflects.
