The venue has welcomed over 200,000 guests in its inaugural 12 months, cementing its reputation as a leading family-friendly attraction.
The anniversary celebration was an all-day extravaganza featuring live entertainment, thrilling activities, and vibrant décor, drawing in visitors of all ages. The festivities, which ran from August 11 to 17, culminated in a grand finale that saw loyal guests, influencers, and new visitors partake in a day packed with energy and excitement. Guests were treated to welcome drinks, appearances by the beloved Loco Bear mascot, a magic show, a high-energy family DJ set, a staff dance performance, and a signature cake-cutting ceremony. The day also included arcade happy hours, spin-the-wheel challenges, mini-contests, giveaways, and a memory wall.
Key milestones achieved by Loco Bear since its inception include hosting 2,000 birthdays, entertaining 11,000 schoolchildren and 1,200 teachers, and bringing joy to 6,500 corporate employees. These achievements underscore the brand’s rapid success and broad appeal within the community.
“This celebration is our way of showing gratitude to our community, our loyal guests, and everyone who has supported Loco Bear’s journey from the very beginning,” stated Anshul Khaitan, CEO of Loco Bear. “We have grown into more than just a play destination—we have become a place where families create memories they will cherish for a lifetime. And we are only just getting started.”
To commemorate its new chapter, Loco Bear has significantly expanded its offerings. New attractions include hyper-bowling, darts, and an extended array of arcade games. The venue has also introduced brand-new birthday rooms and a dedicated corporate meeting space, alongside an upgraded, smoother booking system designed for enhanced user experience.
“These additions are designed to make Loco Bear more versatile and inclusive, ensuring that whether you are a child, a parent, a school group, or a company team, there’s always something here for you,” Khaitan added.
A particularly heartwarming highlight of the anniversary event was Loco Bear’s initiative to honour its biggest supporters and even its early critics. The brand invited its top five spenders, five most frequent visitors, and five guests who had left negative reviews in its initial days, offering them a firsthand experience of the substantial improvements made over the past year. This gesture reinforced Loco Bear’s commitment to community engagement and continuous evolution based on feedback.
