Indoor Playground: Meet the New Owners of Fun Run

Amanda West • July 10, 2025

Fun Run in Liberty, MO is a family-owned indoor playground and café bringing affordable, all-day fun to local families with toddlers, parties, and community events.

Welcome to Fun Run: Liberty’s Family-Favorite Indoor Playground

If you’re looking for a place where your kids can play for hours and your whole family feels right at home, Fun Run in Liberty, MO should be your next stop. Recently taken over by new owners Laura Smith and her family, Fun Run isn’t just a play place—it’s a locally owned hub where community, creativity, and kids’ laughter fill the air.

A New Beginning, Rooted in Community

Although Fun Run has been around since 2000, Laura and her family officially became the proud new owners in 2024. Their journey started with a simple idea: to create a vibrant, family-friendly center in Liberty. After a quick community survey gathered 400 responses in just three days, it was clear—this dream was something the Liberty community wanted too.



That spark led them to the previous owner, and by January 2024, they officially reopened the doors, keeping the heart of Fun Run alive while adding new energy and ideas.


What Locals Love Most

There’s a lot to adore at Fun Run, but customers rave about one thing in particular: Toddler Time. Held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, these special sessions are a hit with parents looking for safe, engaging play that wears little ones out (in the best way).


Families also appreciate Fun Run’s pricing structure. It’s intentionally affordable for large families and includes a unique perk—birthday party packages that come with an all-day play pass for every guest. Come and go as you please, all for one price. That’s real value.



The full-service café surprises many with its quality too—especially the breakfast pizza, which has quickly become a favorite. And don’t miss the wooden village, a legacy feature that’s been inspiring imaginative play for over 12 years.


Why Fun Run Stands Out

What sets Fun Run apart? It’s all about variety and freedom. Kids can explore different play zones, from physical climbing to pretend play. Parents love the flexibility—no rushed time slots, just relaxed all-day fun. The entire experience is built around making things easier, more enjoyable, and more affordable for families.



And because it’s family-owned, Fun Run has that personal touch. Regulars know the owners, and the owners know their customers—not just as names, but as neighbors.
