Insider tips
- For birthday parties, consider their packages as they offer better value (including food and drinks) than paying à la carte or choosing alternative venues.
- Be prepared for potentially high additional costs if children play many arcade games, as funds can deplete quickly.
- Inquire specifically about what is included in packages, as laser tag, bowling, and escape rooms are often separate, additional charges.
- If your child has a specific preference for bouncing, note the mandatory ball pit-first rule for the bounce area.
Good to know before you go

- Parents expecting high-value redemption prizes, as they are reportedly less attractive than at competitors like Dave & Buster's.
- If your child is particularly sensitive to mandatory play sequences and only wants to use the bounce house without first entering the ball pit.
- If you are looking for budget-friendly food court options.
- Overall pricing is considered expensive; a basic package for bouncing and arcade play costs approximately $40 and often excludes premium activities like laser tag, bowling, and escape rooms.

What parents say
"The variety and quality of fun experiences available here for the kiddos makes this definitely one to add to the list. There are multiple birthday party rooms to host your event, and games that include bowling, VR, and even a bike racing game (where they actually have a physical bike to "ride" as they play the game). Laser tag is also available and a bounce room for the littles. Our party concierge was pleasant and made the experience seamless for us. Party packages offered were a bit more wallet friendly than Urban Air (the prices included food, while at Urban Air you have to pay for food "

"Found this indoor amusement and bounce location in Atlas Mall as a new place for the kids. Walking in you have to sign a waiver, which is pretty standard for any place with a ballpit or trampoline.
