Doha, Qatar: InflataCity 2025, billed as the world’s largest indoor inflatable event, is underway at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC), offering residents and visitors a popular escape from the soaring summer heat. 

Organised by Visit Qatar, the event runs daily from 1pm to 11pm until August 28, 2025.

Covering more than 30,000 square metres of fully air-conditioned space, the family-friendly event has returned this year with an expanded programme featuring more activities, additional food and beverage outlets, clothing shops, and souvenir kiosks.

As temperatures rise and humidity intensifies across the country, many families are flocking to the event. Lyza Corpuz, attending with her daughter Aisha, said the event provides a safe and comfortable place for children and families to enjoy during the summer break without worrying about the weather.

“Those kinds of events allow Aisha to gather and play with many other kids her age and play safely,” Corpuz told The Peninsula, adding that such gatherings help children learn about different nationalities and cultures at a young age.

The main attraction, the Mega Inflatables and Obstacle Courses, features more than 30 inflatable installations including InflataMonster, Festival Inflata, and CandyMaze, along with giant slides and obstacle challenges for children and teenagers. Other sections include the Arcade Gaming and VR Simulators zone with air hockey, claw machines, PS5 stations, racing simulators, and virtual reality experiences, as well as the Carnival and Skill Games area offering paintless paintball, bazooka ball, and traditional games such as Can Knockdown, Bucket Ball, and Ring Toss. Visitors can also enjoy live stage performances and roaming mascots, with popular characters such as Bounco, Striker, Jumpy, and Slimy engaging with the crowds. Twelve retail kiosks offer toys, accessories, and event merchandise, while a dedicated food court hosts 16 dining outlets. 

Tickets are available in various categories, starting from QR40 for general entry, QR75 for the InflataPass, QR250 for the Super Pass, and QR300 for the Family Pass for four people. For those seeking premium access, the VIP Pass is priced at QR 350, while the Summer Weekly Pass is available for QR 500 and the Summer Monthly Pass for QR 1,500. Infants under one year enter free of charge.

Tickets for InflataCity 2025 are available through BookingQube, Virgin Tickets, Platinumlist, and SnoonuCity, with on-site sales subject to capacity.

The event venue QNCC is easily accessible by Doha Metro and Lusail Tram. Free parking is available at the venue, with valet service provided for VIP ticket holders. 

The venue is fully accessible to visitors of determination.

With an exciting line-up of activities under one roof, InflataCity 2025 is expected to be one of the summer’s most popular indoor family events. Whether seeking thrills, games, or a cool break from the heat, this inflatable experience promises fun for all.

InflataCity 2025 is part of Visit Qatar’s programme to enhance the country’s tourism appeal year-round by offering indoor, climate-controlled attractions.

As summer draws to a close, upcoming events will include Sealine Season, Ras Abrouq Season, and the Qatar International Food Festival.
