This place is seriously awesome for those responsible and active kids, teens and adults. It's a huge room of connected trampolines with padding throughout its surrounding. There are more trampolines in the rear of the facility for custom flips and games (one section is filled with foam for added safety).
My wife and I had our daughter's birthday here is it was a hit! Affordable pricing and the employees were very friendly. They kept our cakes refridgerated with no problems and no accidents. Awesome complimentary water bottles in an ice filled tub! Their pizza service is top quality and there is plenty of exotic pizzas to choose from.
Everyone jumped away and there were no slips or mishaps thanks to the management being very firm about the rules prior to letting the kids in. Sky High makes you fill out a waiver so you can't come back and sue them which is protocol, but so long as you follow the rules... you will thoroughly enjoy your time jumping on their trampolines. Good quality jumpers. However, I wish the padded parts were more padded, it feels uncomfy in the non-jumpy area. Note: be sure to provide plenty of water and/or cold drinks for your kids since high activity leads to presperation, dehydration and sweatiness!
An excellent place for a kids party and terrific pizza service! Highly recommended to all rule followers :]

Sky High is pretty fun!! The staff is very accommodating to big parties. 1.5 hours is enough time, 2 hours is a bit much....you start to feel your innards bumping around inside. If you are an old kid like me, make sure you play nice with the thousands of young kids running around the joint.
Fun place to go if you're bored. The service was good plus a cute girl at the counter. At the snack station there was a hella chill dude.
There is an arcade station and its cheaper than most places. And the snacks and drinks are not raised up and really pricey.
A good place to go if you want to practice flips and stunts. There is a dodgeball place where you can go and hit little kids =). HAHA jk.
The price to get in is a lil bit on the expensive side going on at $9 per hour but it is definitely worth it.
Minus one star cause of price and because little kids kept gettin in my way when i was jumping
I am updating because the AIRobics is pretty awesome. I have heard from several sources that it was an intense workout so I had to give it a whirl. Boy, I was sweating like a horny hog afterwards but being that it is so hot in there it is hard to tell how much of the sweat was caused by the actual activity. Nonetheless, I felt like I worked hard and had so much fun that I went back a second time. I would do it more often if it was closer to my house. You can't help but smile when your doing it, bring a friend and prepare to fly.
$7 for aerobics, Tues/Thurs 6pm and 7pm. 7pm is less busy.

Heard such great things, the website made it look cool, but definitely a little disappointed once I… Read more »
I feel like a kid again when I'm here... so much fun to jump off the walls.
***DISCLAIMER: I am not a bad person, I swear. I am actually fond of kids. But, I do think it's everyone primal instinct to inflict pain on those who are smaller than us (natural selection baby). No mercy reigns supreme...***
This place is freakin amazing.
Here is some advice for those of you who aspire to achieve class A T- dodgeball status:
1) Kicking the ball IS legal. Initially when you do it, you'll have all these little squirts whining at you, saying "hey! You can't kick the ba--" but they won't even be able to finish their sentence because they'll get a lightning fast rocketball right in the kisser on a direct flight from your foot. Learn your lesson kids...don't complain
2) After 10pm they bring out the "adult sized" balls. Basically these balls are larger and harder (that's what she said...) and may be too big for people like me to grip. So rather than throw them, I reverted to hitting them with my closed fists like a volleyball. You definitely get higher velocity which leads to greater facial damage on the other end.
3) Doing ninja flips or cartwheels off of the trampolines does NOT improve your dodgeball skills, and makes you look ridiculous. I tried doing an acrobatic spin in midair and was nailed in the stomach with a ball, after which I turned sideways and landed on my back on one of the dividers between the trampolines. After this humbling lesson, I did some schooling of my own; all these agile, showoff high-schoolers who did backflips off the sidewalls were pleasantly surprised when they got owned with a ball in the face.
4) Trampoline dodgeball is not for the weak. People get hurt. Some kid broke his leg in the freestyle pit when he fell through one of the trampolines. Another kid's coke-bottle glasses will be forever cemented into his face thanks to a moneyball from yours truly. Bring your game faces, blood will be shed.
Needless to say, I slept well that night. Not sure if it was because of the intense workout or if it was the satisfaction of knowing that thanks to me, some kid will be eternally haunted by fiery demon balls whenever he closes his eyes.
Minus points for being difficult to find (especially at night) and a little overpriced...but overall it's a very satisfying experience...
...man, I'm going to hell

hi,
I had my son's' 10th birthday party at Sky High. My son made home made brownies from scratch for his guests. He wanted to serve them to his guests with vanilla ice cream.
When we arrived, Lia the manager, told us that he could bring the brownies inside but not the ice cream. Apparently, only ice cream cake is allowed not regular ice cream.
So my son' desert for his friends was lessened over the difference between "ice cream cake" and "ice cream".
Very poor customer service in my opinion, and unnecessarily saddening for my son.
Think twice before having a party at sky High.

This is hell for someone who has obessive compulsive tendencies like myself.
Smells like the gym, has screaming kids bouncing off the walls (no pun intended), and extremely humid.
I got stuck and spent like $7 on a stupid game where you stack bricks up to win a DS or iPod. That was the only thing interesting at Sky High.
I do like the concept and what Sky High has to offer, but I don't like the fact that I could possibly leave one day with ringworms. I don't know if the foam pit has ever been cleaned? Or if they sanitize ANYTHING?
Eh, not my cup of tea.

Me and my now real life friend Jacqueline who recently retired from Yelp went to the airobics class this past Tuesday. It had been exactly 1 year since my first visit where I left with a sprained ankle that is still kankle size and may stay that way forever. I was a bit scared, and it didn't help that 5 minutes after I got in a teenage boy busted his knee pretty badly. Yikes!
I made it though without any injuries, thank goodness....having to hang up my heels for 3 months last year was basically my worst nightmare. If you want to change up your workout routine, this is a great way to do so. It's a good deal too because classes are $7 which is pretty reasonable.

This place is hilarous fun. Being around that many kids though may not be the best mix though, I was constantly wary of the fact that I could flatten one of them if they decided to bounce recklessly in my blind spots (which they did). an adult only time would be nice, if you could keep the high liability drunktards out of there
There were about 15 of us total that took the trip from the tri city to check out the place. I had a cousin visiting so I thought it would be a fun experience because they don't have something like this where they are from.
It was super fun. You can jump up and down all you want and even try doing back flips off the wall, and bounce off walls. There's this foam pit, normally for little kids but we were there late at night so we had the chance to jump in. Watch out for the yellow dividers, they are hard and hurt a lot. I think sky high should do something about those. They also have a dodge ball area, which is great, especially if you have a big group with you.
Note: the place smells like feet, but what do you really expect. Also, the only down side was there were these douche bag "kids," mostly likely around my age, 17-19, that were inside with us and left around the same time, and their those "racer kids" so.. its pitch black and guy turns on head lights and the race each other in the parking lot while people are trying to get to their cars. Super annoying!
I tend to hype things up a lot, and later have to face disappointment because it's not as exciting as I expected it to. This is one of those places, but I mean overall we all had a good time.
I'm a big kid -- I admit it. What better to spend your birthday than jumping on trampolines?
Though I'm well into my 30s, I decided to celebrate my birthday at Sky High. I've never been, but have heard lots about it (before I discovered Yelp).
After finishing up the "adult portion" of the evening (signing liability, paying, etc), my friends & I walked in and magically turned into 8 yr olds. We were first greeted by the snack bar -- stocked with lots of drinks & goodies, lockers (remember using them at the roller rink?), and the biggest trampolines I had ever seen.
With wide eyes and a quivering jaw, we entered the jumping arena. What a rush! We paid for an hour and that was perfect for our group -- not sure our knees/backs would have taken much more lol.
After warming up in the larger arena, we decided to get together & play dodgeball in their smaller arena. DODGEBALL! Yes I got nailed, and yes I had a blast! They also had a smaller arena suited for much smaller kids that includes a foam pit they can jump into.
Sky High keeps staff at all arenas much like lifeguards at pools and does a decent job keeping an eye on everyone. Drop-ins are welcome, but I recommend making a reservation first, especially on weekends.
Kids - both big & small - will have a blast.

This was sweaty fun! I loved it. Just don't jump in the foam pit after jumping around. The foam crumbs will just stick to your sweat.

Holy crap! They should change the name from SkyHigh Sports to SkyHigh SweatFactory! (I don't think SweatShop would fly)
You wouldn't think it would drain you so quickly just jumping around, but you get pretty winded after just 10 minutes.
Dodgeball was fun, and the balls are fairly harmless unless you get tagged in the face or nuts. Then it's a different story.
The foam pit was pretty fun too, but the foam cubes were a bit flaky. I think I got some foam flakes all up in my teeth. Blehck!
Bring a bottle of water with you to hydrate 'cuz you'll need it. They have nice big fans to cool you off and lockers to store your valuables. Just be careful! There's a lot of give with the trampoline tension and material, but it's easy to misjudge and turn your ankle, so keep your wits about you :)

I have been to skyhigh a few times, it was fun for a little while but then it statred to get old after a while. Because there are several people. the chance of getting hurt is quite large. I know a couple people who have gotten hurt here. But otherwise it is good for the pre-teens.

This place is awesome! I came here twice, once for a birthday party, another time, just for fun. A HUGE SPACE FILLED WITH HUGE TRAMPOLINES!! What else could you ask for?
I ran around, jumping up and down and up and down for hours! It gets tiring after a while though. But the trampolines are even on the walls, which makes it even more fun, since you can also jump off the walls! They have 3 areas, one for just the jumping around, another for dodge ball, and finally, one with a big foam pit you can jump around in. They have a TV (that shows different views of the trampolines) surrounded by comfy sofas, so parents can watch their kids.
It's great for everyone, small kids, teens, and adults! I had so much fun each time I came here. Just a warning, after each trip, I was sore all over. The first time, the "sore-ness" lasted a couple of days, but the second time, it only lasted for a day.
Quick tip, wear shoes with laces that you can tie tightly, or you're going to have to jump up and down barefoot.

I love this place. I was hooked on the aerobics classes for a long time. Its a great way to burn calories while still having fun! I would like it better if it didn't smell like feet all the time, but what can you expect from a place that has hundreds of sweaty jumpy people around. I take my nieces and nephews once in a while, they absolutely LOVE it. I really like that this place is one for all ages. I can hang out w/ the kids and still have a blast without having to sit on the sidelines. Most "jump" places leave the adults out in the cold. This is a great place for the whole family. The prices are reasonable as well. A couple times they were filled to capacity and we had to wait for an assigned jumping time. I think they need a better system but I you can also make reservations online.
This place IS cool, but jumping around with a bunch of sweaty kids is a little gross and that foam pit.....yikes, smelly central.
My husband and I have been here with my niece and nephew and with work friends....fun both times.
Dodgeball is cool, just be careful not to get nailed by a 12 year old.
so, fun place to go, great in the winter, when the weather sucks and you need something to do other than movies or watching tv.
and....holy moley, what a workout. Who knew your armpits could get that sore?
I thought that this place was very clean and very well maintained. My biggest issue is that the kid who was monitoring the dodge ball court had a real attitude problem.
My kids and I went to this AWESOME place during a weekend trip to Great America. We had a blast! There was a whole room made of trampolines. My 4 yo son jumped all over and my 9 yo daughter had a blast too. This place is a total workout, we had so much fun. We definitely plan to go back. If you have small kids, try to go on a weekday. Some of the 'regulars' really are talented, but they need much more room.
I would recommend it highly for a jumping good time.
A huge warehouse full of trampolines. What more could your inner child ask for? This place is very popular so try for a weeknight. You'll have more room to "explore." Wear lace up sneakers. Sky High charges by the hour. Start with one hour. We don't realize how much an hour of trampolining really takes out of us till we attempt it ;) Great set-up! Its a hopping good time.

Allison W. and I came here last year with our (then 14-year-old) Pretend Brother and his 9-year-old and 12-year-old friends for an afternoon of jumping, nausea, and muscle strain. I don't want to repeat two of those things, so I just stick to jumping on the couch when I get the urge.
The kids and Allison seemed to like it a lot. Our PB used to do gymnastics, so he can jump and fly with the best of them. He loved running up the padded walls and flipping over backwards (But guess what ? No flips allowed !). The younger girls loved running and jumping into the walls, jumping into the foam pits, and a bit of the dodge ball. Allison even got into it, and laughed as I lay on the mats clutching my knees, ankle, elbow, nose, etc.
The funny thing is, the only way I'd be talked into running all over the place and jumping on things is if I was bribed with alcohol. But it was summer, it was hot, and I wanted air conditioning. It was so stupid hot that day that I thought bodily injury would be preferable to heat.
Now, strangely, I want to go back. It seems stupid to spend so much money to jump around (and the shrieks and squeals of numerous children can be kinda annoying), but it also sounds kinda fun. It's definitely more fun than going to the gym and staring at the back of someone else while you're on the treadmill, but is it more effective ? ...Prooobably not. It's just easier to hurt yourself.

Jumping on the tramp is a BLAST!
Check out Jeremy's Air-robics class! Awesome workout and so much FUN!
For six years I sat on the side lines with frozen peas on my head, bandages on my knees, black eyes - self inflicted...don't ask - cuts, bruises, ripped and bloody hands...oh the life of a gymnast.
I think I miss it.
When I walked into the trampoline "arena" all those memories in the gym came rushing back to me. Everything from the sound of the mats hitting the trampoline to the smell of rank feet, brought back everything I loved - and hated - about gymnastics.
At first, I kinda held back a little. A few hops here. A few hops there. Seat drop here. Seat drop there. Everyone else in my group of twelve was going buck-ass-wild like they weren't 25 year old engineers, psychologists, mathematicians...
My somewhat modest niece went from the calm, disciplined little girl she usually is to the damn Tazmanian devil - running up the walls, hair flying everywhere, sweaty, smelly, laughing, glazed over crazy eyes, and screaming the entire time.
After listening to the laughs and seeing how much fun everyone was having, I had a F*ck it moment: I told myself, "Kristi...you came here to see what you can still do...so lets see what you can still do!"
Apparently, its not much. All those years of training: Gone. A few sloppy back hand springs, some successful front flips, and handstands are all I got left.
But you know what that means? I officially have the right to be sloppy! GOOD*BYE technique its time to have some unstructured, undisciplined, un-"keep your legs straight before I break them" FUN!
An hour was plenty. 20 minutes was plenty. But who am I kidding, I could have spent half a day here and left wanting just a little bit more time...
On my way home - about 50 minutes back to the city - I thought to myself, maybe it's not too late to get back into the gym again. Maybe I could enroll in a few adult gymnastics classes and pick up where I left off. Maybe the passion I have for the sport hasn't dissipated yet...
And then I woke up the next morning stiff as a mummy and unable to move due to my excessively sore muscles. Nope, sorry Kristi. Your days are O-V-E-R, OVER.
As I Ooh...Ahh...Eee....ahhh...Ooo'd down the stairs from my flat I couldn't help but crack a smile.
It was totally worth it.
Now where the f*ck is the Bengay?
[ I should note that one of the employees was a complete crab. Yelling at everyone, being incredibly rude, and super irritable. He was manning the foam pit like a total jerk! I forgot to complain to the manager due to excessive exhaustion but had I not been fighting the urge to tip over and die, I would have! ]

Sky High Sports smells like the inside of a sweaty shoe, but it works for recreation well enough.
You have to see this place to appreciate it. A huge warehouse with massive amonts of trampolines hooked together. Teens love it. If you're taking some teens there just be aware that their medical release policy requires thearent or guardian to sign the form. if you're taking someone else's child who has never been registered before, you must pre-print the release form from their web site before you go. However, once registered, permanently registered. The teens love this and it tires them out great!
This place is the bomb! What better way to get some exercise is there when you trick yourself into jumping around with friends on trampolines for an hour or two.
I've been here several times. Once for a birthday party for a friend and then they also have jump aerobics offered 3 times a week. Tuesday/Thursday nights & also Saturday mornings. Only $7 bucks.
I'm in my 30's as well and I've never had so much fun exercise in my life.
Wow, I'm shocked at how much fun you can have at this place! First off, you think a room filled with trampolines on the ground and walls is sort of weird, but it's a great exercise, and definitely something new to do. However, if you're scared of getting hurt, I'd beware, and probably wear a helmet, though I'm not sure if that's allowed, and you'd probably look pretty pansy and stupid for doing so. I think I bumped into my friends like 2-3 times. One was pretty bad, and I swear that you can easily hyper extend something. It was $9 for an hour, and that was definitely $9 well spent. Would definitely recommend.

As part of a surprise birthday party for my husband we ended the night at Sky High Sports for an evening of trampoline fun. Despite seeing an ad for this place about a year ago I thought there was no way he'd guess where he was going when we headed onto a dark street off Bowers, but then he guessed correctly when he saw the sign. (I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign!) (That's the last Ace of Base reference I'll probably ever make.)
Anyway, our group of 9 adults and a 2 1/2 year old went sick on this place. Our 6 month preggers friend watched (obviously no jumping) and enjoyed herself. An hour of jumping is plenty anyway - you spend a lot of that time tired and just watching other people.
There are three rooms. Room 1 is the biggest room - about the size of an NBA basketball court - and you have plenty of room to jump across the room or on one trampoline by yourself. In room 1 you can see the real pros in action. They do flips and jump off the sides of the walls. That's right - in addition to the springy floors, there are also springy walls. The only part that's not springy is the yellow seam between trampolines. There are a lot of those and they are not enjoyable to land on. If I were doing flips I'd be afraid of hitting my head on them.
A few weeks ago my husband said he met a chiropractor who said much of her business is from people who get injured at Sky High Sports. Sky High really does seem to try to make it safe; however, I don't see how you could make a totally safe trampoline facility. But I digress.
Room 2 is a big room set up for dodge ball. We only stayed for about a minute.
Half of Room 3 is reserved for little kids, the other half is a trampoline area and foam pit. Diving into the foam pit is a must, but it's actually less fun than it sounds. It's a bitch to climb out. We spent most of the night jumping around in this room because we had it to ourselves. Harnessing the powers of physics the guys were trying to do this thing where they would try to jump the highest. (Note: everyone engaging in this experiment were really sore the next day.) Sky High offers aerobics classes, too. I never realized how tiring jumping on a trampoline could be.
I highly recommend bringing a camera. Get low and snap ridiculous pictures of people jumping and posing in midair.
Our 2 1/2 year old friend was the only one who jumped the entire hour. She cried a little when she left and 2 months later still talks about the place where she jumped.
Boring logistics stuff:
When I called ahead, the lady told me that Friday and Saturday were really busy and full of kids. When I asked about Sunday night, in the hour before closing, 9-10 p.m., she said it was pretty quiet then. However, she still insisted that a reservation was necessary. I didn't want to make one because a reservation entailed paying up front and I was worried some of the guests could be no-shows, so I took my chances. When we arrived it was apparent that we really didn't need a reservation so I was glad we didn't make one. (They also said on the phone that it was $10 per person with a reservation and that it would be $11 without, but we were charged $10 anyway. Sweet.)

Not gonna lie - I think this place is awesome!!
Some of my old coworkers were telling me that they went there as a stress relief and jump around.... so i thought that'd be a fun place to go
only problem is - u gotta find the right people to go with
If you go with the wrong people the following may occur:
-you'll be seen as the creepy old guy going there and playing around w/ little kids (MJ style)
-You're going there to pick up on middle school girls jumping around (R. Kelly style)
-you're out to feel like a man, as you wail away at young kids w/ a foam ball, playing dodgeball...
however, if u do it right, and just go out there w/ the mindset of "i wanna be a kid again, and just have a good time, and not worry about everyone else around me, who's an ace at doing triple axel double back flips or whatever..." - then you'll have a great time
couple of downsides
-there's wayyy too many kids! if you go there on a weeknight, i'm guessing it'll be better. I went on a saturday afternoon where there was kiddie parties everywhere, so you had to watch where you were going, or else you might run over a few of 'em
-kinda smelly... imagine an indoor gym where everyone's running around and there's limited ventilation
-did i say there's a lotta kids?

It is actually a lot smaller than I thought it was, but I had fun (and sweated a gallon). This is very kid friendly, so watch where you land! And yea, watch where you land! I hurt my ankle by landing on the yellow border in the main jump area.
If you get tired of jumping, they got DDR and other arcade games to try.
Oh yea, parking really sucks here. The lot is super small.

I loved trampolines as a kid - my mom actually had one and I loved bouncing up and down on it whenever it was out.
When my friend decided to have an outing here - I was a bit cautious at first, but wanted to give it a shot. Hell it was his b-day!
First off the place smells like feet. Worse than a bowling alley feet. Second, I'm a big kid now. A really big kid. I can handle myself at the gym fairly well, but jumping up and down killed my ankles in about 20 minutes, and I lightly sprained my ankle as a result.
Even so, the place is pretty fun. Next time I'd just go straight to the giant ball pit and play things safe :)

This place used to be a lot more fun when it first opened. It gets extremely hot in the summers, which is also do to the huge fans they have that run off water and add moisture to the warehouse.
It would be a lot more fun if each trampoline had the same give, because that's how a lot of people end up hurting themselves.
Also, be prepared to smell feet the whole time. Showering after is a must. Too many kids, not enough room. The way they monitor the amount of people allowed inside in totally flawed.
Overall, it's fun for about 5 minutes if you aren't crazy about flips and what not.

This place is a lot of fun. It is just what you would expect from seeing the video and pictures on their website. We went there for the first time last night out of boredom and had a blast!! $9 for a full hour of jump time and if you're nearing your 30th birthday like us, fourty minutes on those things, was long enough. We came home sweaty and sore but promised ourselves we'd go back to jump the full hour.
If you bring small children here, please watch them closely. Better yet, be on the tramploline floor with them or take them to the kids zone. There are a lot of older children and adults and they will bounce into your kids in the main zone. They don't mean to, but it's hard to control exactly where you're going on trampolines.
We went on a Sunday evening and got the last 2 wristbands for the time slot. They open till late and the children seem to stay out till late too.
Minus 1 star for the smell of sweat and the dirty floors and tables.

This place is fun to go to when your doing nothing on a weekend night. Only thing I hate is it smells kinda funny to me.
There's a bunch of kids during the daytime and mostly teens later in the night.
If you like to jump on trampolines then this is the place for you.
They also have this foam pit where you can try and do crazy flips or whatever and just land in the pits. They also have dodgeball games.

This place scares me! I felt inadequate because I couldn't do any fancy flips and would just bounce in place. After 45 minutes or so, it got tedious. I think you need to come here inebriated in order to enjoy it for what it is. It's a giant trampoline. The dodgeball in the other room was filled with only guys. Even though I wanted to play, I felt intimidated because they took it really seriously....so I just watched. Then I jumped into the giant pit of square pieces of foam. That was fun until I realized how sticky and smelly the foam was....which bothered me because I saw many young girls in short shorts bouncing into the foam fit....I mean, doesn't it make their legs itch?? I was wearing pants and still I coudln't take it...eek.. All in all, it was an experience to have, but I would not return.

This is every human beings dream: a gigantic warehouse filled with trampolines all over the place with which to go absolutely nuts. It really is a blast for anyone and everyone of all ages.
However, a word of warning. BE CAREFUL. It's pretty dangerous, and you can easily hurt yourself (Trust me, I know). It isn't that expensive, great for groups, and tons of fun!
This will wear you out. Don't plan on doing anything afterward except collapse in a little ball and pass out. However, it's a blast, and you can expect... if you don't hurt yourself... that you'll be back again and again.

Up, up, and away. Jump as high as one can! Trampoline floors and walls, I am in my natural habitat here... [http://farm4.static.fl...] Okay, maybe if I was 8 or 9 again and limber. I am old enough now to feel my knees quake at each bad landing and my back crack at each wrong turn. They warn us beforehand. Be careful. Start off slowly, especially adults!
I would jump for one hour, not two. I would also stay away from the foam pit. I've read about major injuries in there if one lands funny. It's not all that exciting. Wear sneakers that lace up, so the shoes can stay on. Store excess belongings in a free locker. Leave a deposit of $5 at the food counter [where they sell DIPPIN' DOTS!], and go jump. This is just a deposit and therefore will be returned when the key is returned. No cameras ON the trampolines. There will be scolding. One can, however, have a friend taking pictures on the sidelines.
Would love to check out their AIRobic classes some time. I imagine them to be very effective since after 10 minutes of jumping, I'm already pretty beat. What a workout!
For those who are dragged along and don't feel like jumping, there's a spot to sit down where the trampoline areas are visible on a television screen. OR another option is to hop on over to the swankiest McDonald's around [http://www.yelp.com/bi...] while one waits for the jumpers!

Fatties like me shouldn't fly unless we buy a ticket on Jet Blue. Seriously, I should always do my best to stay as connected with the ground as possible.
Here at Sky High sports they throw conventional wisdom out the window and encourage you to be like R. Kelly and make you believe you can fly...even if you can only launch yourself 6 inches high WITH THE HELP OF A TRAMPOLINE.
The kids obviously outnumber the adults here. They are fearless little boogers too. They just bounce around all over, run from one trampoline to the next, do flips and dives...then the inevitable happens and one little punk has an accident. During our visit for a friends birthday we had the joy of seeing one boy get his foot caught between two trampolines. He wasn't physically injured so I didn't feel too bad pointing and laughing.
The real emotional damage though comes from their dodge ball court. Yes, they have a trampoline lined dodge ball court. I didn't enter but from the looks of it kids are just as vicious as they have ever been. They were where throwing some heat and aiming for the head. I'm going to lose a little weight and gain back some agility then I'm taking out a few 7 year old girls.
