The Growth of Pop-Up Action Parks and Zones

The “pop-up” phenomenon is not new, but the success of pop-up shops and restaurants has seen the concept continue to grow and move into new and unexpected areas.

What is a pop-up?

A pop-up is a temporary version of a (usually permanent) activity. We first saw pop-ups explode in the restaurant industry with chefs opening in unusual locations for a limited time. The world went crazy for these exclusive events and the pop-up trend was born. Now, we see pop-ups across many creative industries – in retail, art, theatre and music. The benefits include raising brand awareness, consumer engagement, and the ability to be flexible and experimental.

Where next?

We’ve already seen the success of pop-up music and theatre – so where is this trend heading next? It’s all about events, and we’ve seen a growing number of activity-based pop-ups. This summer we had pop-up water parks, a ‘one weekend only’ indoor bike park and the launch of a global pop-up park initiative.

Expect to see many more pop-ups based around sport, gaming and outdoor activities. Thrill seekers take note!

Why are they so popular?

Pop-ups are short but sweet and their limited time frame can create a buzz. No one wants to miss the hottest ticket in town! Pop-ups are creative and offer something unique and innovative to visitors. Their temporary state means organisers can try out new things without the commitment or financial investment needed for a permanent site.

What to expect at a pop-up action park?

Expect the unexpected! Visit a pop-up action event if you’re looking for something different, with lots of adrenalin, energy and fun. Action pop-ups will be highly interactive with a whole host of activities for guests to try out and enjoy.
