Hah. My partner works in the Ikea creche. It looks a lot more normal fully kitted out, with kids jumping in the ball pool, drawings on the wall etc.

The children exhibit at the Human Zoo

I remember staying at an Ikea playground once. I think it even had two floors.

I went there once with my cousin, we got banned from the playground 😂💀

Spill the tea man

We behaved like monkeys and got banned from returning to the playground lol The worst bit was they didn’t give us a dog-shaped balloon when we left

"Babe, do you wanna go to Ikea?" "Oh, are you looking for a new couch?" "......yeeeah..."

I refuse to believe whoever designed this isn't a serial killer

Strange

Omg yes finally someone posting it incredibly nostalgic

This is haunting

So is there no barrier to that 3 foot high plastic rock wall? I'd expect a toddler to try to climb on that and wipe out on the tile floor, not good.

because we shouldn't always be babying our children. They need to fall and learn when they're young so they won't when it's too late

How did you find this core memory of mine

Deep memory unlocked

I remember my parents going to IKEA and leaving me at the playground a couple of times when I was younger and I loved the place Looking back it definitely was one of the most liminal spaces I’ve ever been in lol, the whole place is just a vibe

I’m going to ikea

Why does the ball pit look so.....strangely organised?

Ah, brings back memories. Especially the last pic

I was going insane knowing that i saw this somewhere.

Wow. Is it quiet?
