The Gaga Center

About

The Gaga Center is the first and only place in Manhattan designed for kid-favorite activity gaga.

Story

What is Gaga?
Gaga is a fast-paced, high-energy sport played in an octagonal pit. Played with a soft foam ball, this safe game combines the skills of dodging, striking, running, and jumping, while trying to hit opponents with a ball below the knees. Players need to keep moving to avoid getting touched by the ball. Fun and easy, all children get a serious workout under the supervision of professional coaches.

Two moms, four boys and no place to play gaga: The Gaga Center is born. As our kids and their obsession with gaga grew, our living rooms became too small for playing this fantastic game. It didn’t take long for us to realize that there was no place (and we’re not exaggerating!) in Manhattan for our kids to play gaga. It became our mission to find the perfect spot…and we did!

The first of its kind, and only place to play gaga in Manhattan, The Gaga Center is located on street level on 93rd Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. With high ceilings, lots of sunshine, three permanent pits and a kicking sound system, the energy is boundless.

We believe that kids should have a place to burn energy in a productive, positive, relaxed environment. It’s almost ready and we can’t wait to fill the pits with your boys and girls. Let’s play!
