360 Arena in Vilnius – a business idea born from the need for active leisure
360 Arena in Vilnius. As the weather cools, many families face the challenge of finding fun and meaningful ways to spend their free time. According to Jovita, this was one of the main reasons behind the creation of an interactive entertainment arena. “The idea for 360 Arena was born from the desire to create a space where the whole family could enjoy quality and active time together, experiencing unforgettable moments. Another factor was that we often celebrated birthdays in the same places and wanted something new. Plus, we all know that today’s children spend a lot of time glued to computer screens, immersed in virtual spaces, and competing online. Our goal is to give them the opportunity to engage in real-life competition and interact with each other through interactive entertainment at the arena.”
“After conducting market research, we realized that Lithuania has only a few entertainment and leisure providers offering a wide range of activities for families in one place. Various physical activities, birthday rooms, leisure spaces, interactive games, drinks, and quality food in a cozy environment. So, we came up with the idea of creating a European-level entertainment arena designed for the whole family. It will cover nearly 7,000 square meters, making us one of the largest facilities of this kind in Europe. “Our goal is to become a major attraction for families across the Baltic States,” says Jovita, the head of the upcoming 360 Arena. She shares insights on the business idea that has become a reality and the ambitious goals ahead.
In the entertainment arena “360 Arena” – innovations never seen before in Lithuania
The new entertainment arena in Vilnius will stand out not only for its size but also for its equipment. “We spent a lot of time searching for and evaluating the most modern and innovative solutions in the entertainment industry. We will have equipment not seen before in Lithuania, such as ‘ValoArena’, ‘HiT iT!’, and a ‘Ninja’ course. There will also be highly safe ‘Air track’ gymnastics trampolines and high-level acrobatic trampolines. Additionally, in the future, we will start offering lessons and clubs for those who want to learn proper flips and other acrobatic tricks in a safe environment with professional trainers,” says Jovita.
“Additionally, alongside the trampolines and interactive game zone, there will also be a huge area for toddlers at ‘360 Arena’. The youngest family members can spend time with their parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters. For those seeking an even more special leisure experience, we will offer VIP zones and high-class service, along with the catering operator ‘360 Food’. We also plan to organize corporate events and birthday parties,” reveals Jovita.
Great attention to security
Active entertainment is often associated with various risks. Therefore, as the entertainment arena’s manager states, ensuring safety is one of the main priorities when creating the new entertainment arena. “When setting up the ‘360 Arena,’ we follow the safety requirements of sports and leisure, as well as trampoline centers. All the equipment we offer is certified and meets the highest international safety standards. Regular and thorough technical inspections will ensure the maximum safety of our visitors.”
There will also be periodic staff training on customer service, as well as sports and leisure safety standards at the “360 Arena.” All of our staff will be trained to provide first aid if needed. The arena’s territory will be properly lit and securely fenced. The electronic access system (access through protective barriers will only be possible with special park wristbands) will help control visitor flow to ensure safety. Furthermore, the arena team will constantly monitor and regulate access to the more active zones. This will ensure that only visitors from older age groups can enter them.
The very convenient location of the entertainment arena
The “360 Arena” is being built in Vilnius, at Pavilnionių g. 55, in the “Pašilaičiai” shopping center. When asked why this location was chosen, Jovita highlighted several reasons. First, the vast area suitable for creating an entertainment arena of this level played a key role in the decision. The convenient infrastructure and transport connections also influenced the choice. The “Pašilaičiai” shopping center is located near the western bypass of Vilnius. Another advantage of this location is the large parking lot, providing easy access to the building’s entrances. Lastly, Pašilaičiai is one of the fastest-growing districts in Vilnius, with an active and friendly community. Therefore, it is an ideal place for young families seeking a safe and convenient environment for their leisure time.
