German term or phrase: Innenlauftrommel
This appears to be an item of playground equipment that is something like a hamster wheel for children. Does anyone know the official term for this in English?

hamster wheel
Explanation:
after googling on several sites for playground equipment and the like, this still seems to be the best term. There is no technical term for the one you are looking for. A merry-go-round- would not fit here. I hope this works.
Good luck and Happy Easter
