SPACE - Association Française des Espaces de Loisirs Indoor

SPACE (Association Française des Espaces de Loisirs Indoor), founded in 2008 by a handful of entrepreneurs aiming to 'professionalize' new family-oriented recreational activities, is today the leading professional association representing indoor leisure operators in France. Headquartered in Paris, the association represents a dynamic and growing sector comprising more than 2,000 companies, employing more than 13,000 people, and recording 13 million visits per year across France, with close to 300 member venues spanning activities such as trampoline parks, karting, bowling, escape games, laser tag, and virtual reality. SPACE's mission is to defend the interests of the indoor leisure sector and its operators before decision-makers and public authorities, while supporting, advising, and accompanying its members in their day-to-day operations. In 2023, SPACE joined the CPME (Confédération des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises), France's national confederation representing small and medium-sized businesses, strengthening its voice on issues affecting its members across all sectors. The association also engages in advocacy on regulatory matters affecting the sector, such as single-use plastic restrictions for on-site catering and changes to cultural funding programs like the pass Culture's treatment of escape game activities.
