Y'all have children's play areas in your airports?

Or they designed it for a child? Why not let a child pretend they are the captain of a Galaxy-class starship while they wait for the plane to board. Just tell them they aren’t allowed to self-destruct and they need to share when another captain request and requires them to relinquish command of the vessel.

It's disappointing there are no resident cosplayers in that lounge area. Would be amazing for recording some low-budget fan works.

It sucks that you can't just go and hang out at an airport any more.

The children spontaneously shake in one direction when the action sound queue tells them the playground in under attack.

Usually it's just extra space they don't know what else to do with

Japan and Korea have some and it’s such a godsend if you have a layover flight. I’d much rather hear kids laughter than 4 hours of “where’s the plane??”

Corporate playgrounds are peak brutalism.

There's nothing brutalist about this. Brutalist architecture is about the structure of the building being bare and exposed (from the French "brut," meaning raw). While I don't like most brutalism, some of it is beautiful.

This is just soulless.

It’s pretty brutal if you are a child. This is the corporate equivalent.
