BOB
KRAUSE
PRINCIPAL
Bob is the creative engine behind United Play. He’s a visionary leader who is known for his innovative approach to business. His creativity and entrepreneurial vision span 30 years. During that time, he has led several successful start-ups. He first bounced his way into the family entertainment center industry as a potential investor in a growing trampoline park business. Since then, he has owned, designed, and built 15 indoor adventure parks. Eight of those are part of his latest venture, Uptown Jungle Fun Park.
In 2016, Bob launched United Play Systems with Dave Wilson, founder of Snappers Fun & Sports and All Kids Play. Along with his partner who has played a huge role in where the industry has been, Bob believes United Play will be a driving force in where it’s going. He has a passion for bringing next-level creativity to the FEC space. His deep, hands-on experience building and installing indoor adventure parks give him the logistical skills to implement his creative visions to perfection.
Bob loves his work but his greatest passion is his family. He and his wife have raised three children who continue to be their greatest playmates. For fun, Bob loves spending as much time as possible in the ocean surfing with his buddies and his kids.
