A New Audio Experience at PLAY! PARK

The collaboration between PLAY! PARK and Audio-Technica is gearing up for its fourth exciting installment, titled "Let’s! PLAY! SOUND with Audio-Technica!" This incredible event runs from January 26 to April 26, 2026, promising an immersive sound adventure designed to engage children with the fascinating world of audio.

Key Features of the Event

The main theme revolves around the concept of experiencing sound through vibration. Children can explore this through a variety of specially designed play equipment and activities. The event encourages creative play, allowing kids to engage with the fundamentals of sound and music.

1. Ride the Turntable!

A giant, two-meter turntable play structure will be a highlight of the event. Children can climb onto this record player, operate a handmade tonearm, and change records.

Kids can play instruments or sing while standing on the record, creating their own unique sounds and enjoying their surroundings freely.
