Keebee Play

What Keebee Play does

Keebee Play designs and manufactures modular indoor play equipment for commercial and institutional spaces. Founded in 1990 in Calgary, Canada, as an owner-operated business, the company is now headquartered with manufacturing operations at 1000 Wye Valley Road, Midland, Ontario. Its product portfolio centers on wall-mounted and freestanding play modules (available in AM and AW frame styles for system or direct wall mounting), larger manipulative Game Boards, rotating Round Abouts, the Keydo SST415 wall-mounted 21-inch touchscreen interactive system, and modular Play Systems (2 Panel PlayWall, 3 Panel PlayWall, PlayTree, PlayCube). The Odaminmaatig sub-brand extends the line into culturally-grounded play products sharing Anishinaabe, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis teachings, co-developed with Indigenous Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and artist Tessa Shank.

The company's core technology is its interchangeable modular frame architecture, which allows customers to swap individual play modules across installations without replacing the underlying system. All products are commercially rated for public use, designed for children aged roughly 1–12, and built for durability, cleanability, and low maintenance in high-traffic environments. Keebee maintains multi-jurisdictional safety certification (CPSIA / 16CFR / ASTM F963 in the US, CRC.c931 in Canada, EN71 in Europe, ISO 8124 in Australia) through a long-standing testing relationship with Specialized Technology Resources, Inc. (STR).

Keebee generates revenue through one-time equipment sales (catalog SKUs and larger custom projects) plus professional Design/Build services covering design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance. Standard products are publicly listed (e.g., Animal Trax at $595, Grandfather Teachings Flip-blocks at $530, Pollinators Maze at $1,115, Odaminmaatig Cube at $7,945), while custom solutions are quoted individually. The go-to-market combines direct sales via a toll-free line (1-800-563-7740) and email, a North American dealer network for regional coverage, e-commerce for standard Odaminmaatig products, and direct global shipping from Midland, Ontario. Customer segments span hospitality (hotels, resorts), retail (chain stores, shopping malls), healthcare (hospitals, pediatric spaces), libraries and public spaces, food service (QSRs), and Indigenous cultural education programs.
