I know that you want to see them running about but to be honest, I would stick with wood - if you are sitting in there you will see them and the perspex/corex - if you have a light on, not too sure if they would run around or stay froze to the spot - just my opinion.

I think you would want something as low maintenance as possible. Are you going to leave it up/out permanently or will you be putting it away?

The Lino idea above looks really easy to clean, Hoover or wipe.
