Enormous Elephant Playgrounds

Phill by Nuca Studio Entertains Kids While Parents Enjoy Dinner

— October 24, 2011 — Art & Design
I remember the days when McDonalds still had playgrounds for kids, but none of them could measure up to the Phill by Nuca Studio one.

The brains behind this extremely funky playground are the Argentinian designers at Nuca Studio. Parents can leave their kids in this downstairs play area while they dine in peace upstairs. A giant elephant is the most prominent feature of the Phill by Nuca Studio playground. It has been designed to look like it's listening to a similarly enormous mp3 player.

This place definitely makes me wish I were still a kid.
