Where is Urban Adventure Park Going in Wappingers Falls?

It appears from the Google Maps image that the new Urban Adventure Park location would be going in the old eSports Gaming Center spot on Rt 9 in Wappingers across from Home Depot (and that would make sense, but it doesn't look like that would be a big enough space). The popular entertainment spot just closed its doors Dec. 31, 2025. Although it looks like that is where the park will be located, that hasn't been confirmed. One person told us that it will be going into the former Big Lots store (which makes more sense because of the size of the building).

A quick Google search finds that there is another Urban Air Adventure Park in the Hudson Valley, located in Orange County at the Galleria at Crystal Run in Middletown. There is also one in Albany, NY. To learn more about Urban Air and its franchising opportunities, visit https://urbanairfranchise.com.
