What parents say
"Had my son’s 10th birthday party here this past weekend . They were incredibly busy yet managed to cater to our party well . We bought the VIP party package from 5:30-7:30 . We got into the room about 5:40 due to it having to be cleaned . Before that our party host checked in all the jumpers that were there and gave them all socks and wristbands . We scheduled a time to bring the pizzas and drinks and they were a few minutes late but I didn’t mind because the kids were all jumping . Overall it was a good experience and our host was very kind and accommodating. Will return in the future if my k"

"My husband, two sons, and I had planned a small gathering to celebrate my older son's birthday on 3-22 at 3 p.m. When we arrived, the parking lot was packed and cars were parked on the main entrance way. We were informed we would have to wait 45 minutes before the 5 kids could jump. I'm like, o.k...not ideal, maybe we can kill some time and eat pizza there first. There were no available tables, and on top of that, they had no pizza - they said the dough had gotten messed up the day before. So I genuinely asked, can we just order a pizza in since we are already in this predicament? Manager said"

"My grandkids loved it there. It was the perfect place to go on Saturday since it's still cold outside and was 🌧. I ended up signing them up for 3 months. The monthly cost was the same as 1 visit, so that's a no-brainer. Nice seeing them get some exercise instead of on tablets and phones."
