ball pits

Colorful play enclosures

A ball pit is a padded enclosure filled with loose plastic balls, typically found at children's play areas, fast-food restaurants, and indoor playgrounds.

Children jump in and swim through the colorful balls.

The term sometimes appears figuratively for any chaotic, playful environment: The meeting devolved into a ball pit of competing ideas.
