Family-Friendly Wrestling Shows in Ontario: Entertainment for All Ages
Looking for exciting entertainment the whole family can enjoy together? Independent Pro Wrestling (IPW) brings professional wrestling action to families across Ontario—with shows designed specifically for all ages.
Unlike what you might see on mainstream wrestling TV, IPW specializes in family-appropriate entertainment that parents trust and kids absolutely love. Since 2002, we’ve been creating memorable experiences for families throughout southern Ontario.
What Makes IPW Family-Friendly?
Safe, Age-Appropriate Content
IPW wrestling shows are carefully crafted to entertain without crossing the line. Our content features:
· Classic good vs. evil storylines that kids can follow and cheer for
· No inappropriate language or gestures
· Athletic competition and showmanship over shock value
· Positive role models and heroes kids can look up to
· Exciting action that’s thrilling but never scary for young viewers
Parents consistently tell us they appreciate being able to bring their children without worrying about what they’ll see or hear.
Entertainment That Spans Generations
One of IPW’s greatest strengths is our ability to entertain everyone—from toddlers to grandparents. At our shows, you’ll see:
· Kids on the edge of their seats cheering for their favorite wrestlers
· Teens engaged in the athletic competition and storylines
· Parents enjoying quality time with their children
· Grandparents laughing and getting caught up in the excitement
Wrestling is one of the few entertainment options where a 6-year-old and a 60-year-old can sit side-by-side and both have an amazing time.
Affordable Family Entertainment
IPW makes it easy for families to attend without breaking the budget:
Ticket Pricing (Brantford Air Force Club shows): - Children 6 & under: FREE (with paying adult) - Youth (7-12) & Seniors (65+): $15 - General Admission (13-64): $20 - Family Pass (2 adults + 2 youths): $50 - Early Bird Discount: $5 off (Family Pass just $40)
Compare that to movie tickets, theme parks, or other family outings—IPW delivers 2.5 hours of live entertainment at a fraction of the cost.
What to Expect at an IPW Show
2.5 Hours of Non-Stop Action
Every IPW event features:
· 6-7 professional wrestling matches
· Championship title bouts (Grand Champion, Tag Team, Women’s Champion, Openweight Champion)
· 15-minute intermission (perfect for snacks, merchandise, and bathroom breaks)
· Meet-and-greet opportunities with wrestlers (depending on the event)
Engaging Storylines Kids Can Follow
IPW isn’t just random matches—we tell stories. Our ongoing storylines feature:
· Heroes and villains with distinct personalities
· Championship pursuits that build over multiple events
· Rivalries and alliances that evolve throughout the season
· Dramatic moments that keep families coming back
Kids love following their favorite wrestlers’ journeys. Many families make IPW shows a regular tradition, attending multiple events per year to see how storylines unfold.
