Brisbane Airport is continuing to make changes and improvements, and will soon welcome Australia’s largest Area 51, with the indoor playground and all-ages attraction landing at Skygate next year!
Spanning more than 7,000 square metres, the purpose-built facility will have no problem fitting giant play zones such as climbing arenas, trampolines, ninja-style obstacle courses, inflatables, sports court, and high ropes, as well as a toddler-zone, an in-house cafe and more.
Like other Area 51 locations, the fun is not just for kids! The space will also cater for corporate events and birthday parties, as well as evening adult-only sessions.
Area 51 Skygate is expected to open in late 2027, marking its seventh location in Queensland.

Although the final design concept for Area 51 Skygate is yet to be finalised, we know wec can expect it to feature new and cutting-edge attractions, as well as classic, well-loved experiences.
As Area 51 World Chief Operating Officer Michael Affleck put it: “We are incredibly excited to bring one of our newest locations to this community and create a space where people of all ages can come together to play, connect, and make lasting memories.
“Our goal has always been to deliver more than just entertainment, we want to create a community hub that offers adventure, energy, and experiences for families, friends, and groups.
“This new venue represents an exciting step forward for our company, and we look forward to becoming part of the local community and providing a destination that inspires fun, connection, and unforgettable experiences for years to come.”

The Skygate precinct has already grown into a destination in itself, with shopping, dining, and entertainment options for the whole family, like the jaw-dropping Dinos Alive and, in Landers Pocket, venues like 4 Pines Brewery and the Never Never gin distillery, complete with an 800-capacity venue, beer garden, gastropub dining, and multiple event and function spaces.
