'Forward Motion' is an organization that hosted an adult ball pit event in San Francisco earlier this month. While ball pits are a popular childhood activity, there are few places where adults can indulge in the same kind of play. Forward Motion found a way to make balls pits accessible for adults by combining the activity with alcohol.
The playful pop-up event was part of a joint collaboration between Forward Motion and the San Francisco-based bar Romper Room. Over the course of two days, participants were able to submerge themselves in an adult ball pit while enjoying custom cocktails. Other activities included a limbo game, ball fights and impromptu conga lines.
While the idea of combining a ball pit with a bar may sound unusual, the pop-up event is part of a growing number of childhood activities that have been rebranded for adults.
