Play attraction in a large group room at Hillside Church


We loved partnering with Hillside Church in MN to provide this incredibly fun play attraction for their large group space! Pastor Mark Miltimore says "What a thrill it brings me to see the eyes of the kids light up when they see the play area that Worlds of Wow designed and put together for us here at Hillside Church, in Mankato. It has become an incredible tool to help us tell the greatest story ever told."

Thanks Pastor Mark!

Gateway Church - Southlake, TX


The emphasis on reaching kids and families is evident at Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, as their new campus opened in November, 2010 that included a 67,000 square foot children’s building called God’s Amazement Park.

The amusement park theme was realized through a highly collaborative team effort. Ken & Mary Jackson, Children's pastors at the church, had a strong vision for creating a visually immersive experience for kids and parents, so the artists at Worlds of Wow came up with a full theming concept that includes multiple tracks of roller coasters that come out of ceilings, burst through walls and even adorn ceilings and walls in hallways and large group rooms.

The church made a significant effort to theme each area that stuck with the God's Amazement Park story arch, yet included artwork, scenes and destinations that included artwork and attractions that were age-appropriate.

As the pictures below show, this is one spectacular project. From the huge emphasis on making Check-in obvious and easy for first time guests to extra wide hallways to the large sculpted 3D characters and soft contained play units for different ages, God's Amazement Park shines as a fun, timeless and immersive experience that has kids excited to come and bring their friends.



The church has continued to see meteoric growth and, after opening this new children's building, has had over a 40% sustained increase in kids attending. Of course, this means that the parents are also now coming, adding to incredible growth for this dynamic church.

We love that the staff of Gateway chose Worlds of Wow to partner with them on creating God's Amazement Park. What a privilege for us to be part of such a Kingdom-focused church's strategy to reach kids and families!

Trinity Lutheran's New Play Attraction


This new soft-contained play unit will be a huge attraction for the kids ministry at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lisle, IL. We designed the play feature to blend with the big tree (built around a structural support column) as the center piece of the room. Worlds of Wow is the only church theming company that adds custom soft play and soft-contained play along with theming!

That's a big structural column now made to be a huge tree!
The play area is tall and wide, providing high play value!
Adding a play attraction is a great way to bring your community in during the week and introduce them to your church. To learn about how your church can use play attractions as an outreach tool,  contact us and we'll give you a free estimate and renders for your space!

Super Fun Slide


Just found these pictures from a slide project I did a few years ago for a church in east Texas. This is way more fun than taking those boring stairs!! Two close-up pictures of one way to enclose the top and bottom to prevent access during services are also included. Has your church considered adding a slide for the kids?




First Dallas Interim Space


First Baptist Dallas is a big church, but even big churches sometimes need to do small things with excellence. Such is the case with their interim space as they make transitions to their downtown campus. These pictures are a great example of how to theme a space with a small budget!

Destiny Worship Center, Miramar Beach FL


We just love the fun and futuristic theme here at Destiny Worship Center! It was a pleasure to work with Wayne and his team. The theme also included a fun play attraction, which is one of the unique things about Worlds of Wow: we're the only company that does theming and play together for churches!

If you're ever in Miramar Beach, stop by the church and say "Hi!" to Wayne and ask him about working with Worlds of Wow.
