One of the Business' Favorite Reviews What's This?
oh my goodness!! They take trampolining to a whole other level at this place!! I went in expecting something moderately intense, something I would just break a sweat with. Wow, was I surprised! This one-hour class kicked my butt!! The well-trained instructors are like pros at this!! They had us doing everything from jumping jacks, jumps, squats, falling on our butts, tossing foam balls, running across the entire trampoline grid, and even a line dance like exercise! I not only broke a sweat... I was drenched in sweat! Hahaha!!
This class is great for cardio AND muscular exercise!!
It's fairly inexpensive, a one day class is only $7.00... I believe they offer a month membership as well though.
Here's a few tips: Stretch well, bring a towel, bring water, and HAVE FUN!!!
Whether you are doing the dodgeball or trampoline aerobics, you will have fun and a great workout.
You get to be a kid again in the trampoline arena. Catch is, it's very likely that kids there with you. First time I went it was for a college alumni event. I had no qualms pegging former athletes with foam balls. Next time I went, the dodgeball match somehow ended up with me facing an 8-year old blond girl... There is no way out of that situation with pride.
For dodgeball, I had pictured people flying through the air in slow motion and throwing mid-flight. You know, something similar to the zero-g training room in the Battle School of "Ender's Game." Surprisingly, my expectations were set a little high. Once people realize you are vulnerable in the air, most stand on the ground looking like a deer in headlights. Alas, Trampoline dodgeball just becomes dodgeball on a spongy surface. Still a blast though!
The aerobics class whooped me! I scoffed at a friend who told me it was exhausting. I workout regularly, but that session had me sore and sweaty. Great cardio and ab workouts.
You have to try this place once!
I suppose I had high expectations for this place.
Its located in the middle of nowhere in a building that resembles a warehouse.
There ware 2/3 jumping areas i suppose.. 1 is a large jumping area , the other is dodge ball, and the area right across is either entirely for kids 7 years of age and younger or half of it was just closed off.(this was disappointing) i was hoping to jump into the foam blocks.. although im glad i did not.. who knows whats in there (vomit? pee?gum?etc..)
I did not notice the rules for the main jumping area. i suppose they apply to all jumping areas..
My friends and i got onto a few of the trampolines and on the side only to be approached by one of the employees a few minutes later demanding that i either put on my shoes or take off my socks..I already had my shoes locked in their locker so my only choice was to take off my socks..
When I questioned the employee about it he said he didn't know why but those were the rules.
my reaction was
A) the employees should know why they are enforcing a rule
and
B) Im surprised this place is still in business, if random people are taking their socks off and jumping around barefoot .. someone must have gotten some sort of foot fungus at one time or another.. absolutely disgusting!!
My wife and I took my 16 year old sister on a saturday night at like 10:30pm.
If you go at the later hours you don't get the young young kids like other people in this review encountered. This place would receive 5 stars from me if it were not for two, 16 year old umprofessional employees. Everything was great until we mosied over to the dodgeball court where the pimple face employee was cursing, yelling and instigating fights with the other pre-teens. My sister is sixteen but there were other young kids there that did not need to hear that language. Also it did not seem that he even had control of anything what is the point of having him there?
We complained to the manager on our way out but he did not seem to intrested in hearing our comments. This dropped them to 3 stars in my book.
All in all we had a good time. Parents make sure you watch the employess actions and language since half of them are much more imatture than the kids that they are watching out for.
I have so much fun here!! I was never much into trampolines but this this place is different from your little backyard trampoline. You can go crazy here. The foam pit is a lot of fun and you don't realize how hard it is to get out till you do it.
My favorite is dodge ball and I love watching the older folks get really into it and competing hard with these little kids. I may be one of those folks... you will have to come watch to find out.
It gets super hot inside during the summer, so make sure to stay hydrated, the huge fans help quite a bit.
Trampoline and trampoline dodgeball! Was pretty psyched until they went over the rules:
No running.
No sitting.
No leaning.
No cameras inside the trampoline area.
No holding items in hands.
No setting stuff on the trampolines.
No open toed shoes.
No double jumping.
No socks.
Barefoot or tightly secured shoes.
Red zones are off-limit
Yellow zones for standing.
Daaaaang!
This place was kids central. We were at least 2-3 times older than everyone, minus the chaperones. The place itself was super stuffy and according to my friends smelled like sweat and feet.
The trampolines are not big, probably not designed for people over 5 feet. Not much to do. Just jump up and down or off the side. Friends who did flips injured various parts of their body as they landed on the hard padding. Ouch!
Only one court for dodgeball. 12 players on each team. No choosing sides. The court is open to everyone, and our group ended up with kids on both sides, meaning we had to play gentle. Bummer!
We each paid $10 for one hour of play. Not bad. Cool idea but the experience did not meet expectations.
I thought this place was a secret! I wouldn't call this place categorize this place as an amusement park, but it's almost as fun as one!
I took the airobics class on a Saturday morning at 10am for $7. There class could probably have 30 people at least, but there were only 10 of us that day. Basically, the class consists of jumping up and down the trampolines, jumping across trampolines and doing some crunches / situps / pushups on trampolines. This class was sooo exhausting, and I couldn't even jump very high! I didn't even have enough energy to jump on the trampoline walls...when I got tired (3/4 of the class couldn't finish all the exercises), I can just rested on an unused trampoline. I'm not sure I would do it again as I'm only interested in jumping for so long...but my boyfriend (a 20-something guy) wants to hold his birthday party there. I know...men will always be children.
They also have dodgeball tournaments here, but I don't think I would have enough energy to participate.
-1 star for the people who were supervising the foam pit. The foam pit is basically a pit you jump into from the trampolines. The employees would only let us jump on a couple of trampolines around the foam pit so we couldn't get a running, jumping start and catapult into the pit.
I never thought I would actually go. I'm kinda scared of trampolines. But I did it anyways. I played trampoline dodge ball...and I loved it.
It cost $9 to get in for one hour. We went on Thursday night at 7 pm-8pm and we played with a whole bunch of little kids. It was really fun, but sad when they got pegged in the face. At first I was being whimpy...but by the end I felt as if I was invincible. Not to mention a bit sweaty. My boyfriend and his friends were dripping sweat.
They have aerobic classes. I think its $40 per month unlimited or $30 for 3 months. You can also buy a 10-pack for $60..($6 a session).
And I thought it was gonna be kinda dirty...but it really wasn't. Fun place for a kids birthday.
All in all I enjoyed it. I would go back!:)
Great place to leave your kids and let them run around, meet other kids, and get their energy and aggression out in a Dodgeball game or in the large trampoline area!
I paid my money and didn't expect much. But as soon as I started jumping, I realized how great a workout this place is! The staff is helpful and its a great place to be a "kid" again.
Pros:
Place to relive your childhood and have fun jumping around.
Has a sit down area to watch TV or read magazines as the children play.
Cubbies are there to place items while jumping.
Can get a good workout within 10 minutes of continuous jumping!
Cons:
It is a liability and paperwork must be signed before engaging in playing on the trampolines.
The smell of mildew lingers in the air in some areas.
I'm not sure when the foam pits are changed, but I'd ask before I jump into the pits.
You can get easily hurt if you are not careful! So jump at your own risk! And Have fun safely!
I came here for a friends b-day party and had never heard of it before. We are all 18 or more so we went later in the night and there weren't to many kids there.
We had a blast. Our group was of about twenty people so we all went and played dodge ball and had fun bouncing off of the walls!
The only downside for me was the foam pit. It was very shallow and you weren't allowed to flip into or dive into or do anything but just jump into to it.
First of all, I am in my 20's and the only way I was "LURED" into going to this place was with a bunch of other 20-year-olds. My friend assured me that this was "ADULT TRAMPOLINING." You can imagine my horror and dismay when everyone in my group shelled out $9/each and entered the arena only to find little kids (elementary school age) running rampant!
WE WERE THE OLDEST ONES THERE (by, like, 20 years)! I felt so embarrassed and tried to go back to the cashier to get a refund, but he simply pointed to the sign behind him that read in bold letters: NO REFUNDS.
I sighed and decided to go back into the arena. By then, my group had actually procured half of the entire arena for ourselves! The kids all moved away to the other side (and/or went over to the dodgeball court). Now, with ample space to jump around (with PEERS), I actually put pride aside and had FUN, TRAMPOLINING!! I surprisingly had a blast.
-------
There are THREE main arenas:
1. MULTIPLE TRAMPOLINE arena with trampoline walls = good place to just jump around and be comfortable trying out flips (especially off the walls)
2. DODGEBALL arena = you line up and get separated into two teams (don't worry, the balls are really soft)
3. FOAM PIT arena = there are a few trampolines leading up to a huge foam pit (consisting of foam cubes) to just dive into
-------
If you're in college, definitely go here as a group and leave pride at home. Be carefree and just have fun jumping around and trying out tricks! Leave your cell phone and valuables in the car, otherwise you'll have to rent a locker.
**NOTE** I really like all the automatic hand-sanitizer dispensers. The bathrooms were also very tidy.
Would be 4 or 5 stars except...
Among their game machines, right out where everyone can see, are 4 gun games, where kids can pick up plastic guns and "have fun" shooting them. Have they not heard of gun violence among kids? Of young kids finding guns and accidentally shooting each other?
Just now 3 ~6yo girls in pink are picking up the guns and practicing shooting each other.
Do we REALLY need this?
I did talk to a supervisor, who listened very politely.
I so hope they remove the machines... I'd be glad to bring my kids back if they do. My 7yo and a playdate friend here today, and they're having fun.
Otherwise, they have very nice staff, a good set up, WiFi and tables for parents, some healthy snacks/drinks in vending.
We love this place and come here several times a month. It is popular with kids of every age (including moms and dads) so it's a great place for the whole family to have fun and get a workout at the same time! Whenever I post on my facebook that we're going, several friends show up. So it's a big hit for everyone! I can't tell you how much we love it.

This place is super duper fun! Not pricey ($10/hour), big trampoline area for everyone to bounce,… Read more »
You're answer to a better night sleep!
This place is amazing, this isn't some ordinary astro jump or trampoline deal. This is Sky High, where light jumps turn into 3 feet high leaps. Kids and adults here are jumping off the walls- literally!
The place is divided into the main jumping area, foam pit, baby area and dodgeball death arena (maybe not death, but that's what it should be called!)
There are arcade games here to eat your money, a small counter of snacks and drink machines upon entry. Bring your own stuff, seriously I was parched from jumping 5 minutes in and refused to drink public fountain water. Plus, it doesn't seem like they're too strict about it- that is unless you are bringing in a 6- pack of sodas.
Great place to bring the kids, it'll work up their appetite and knock em' out.
P.S. This place seriously wears you out, 20 minutes in my heart felt as if I was sprinting uphill. Sky High left my legs feeling like jello, loved the rush though. Definitely recommended!
Don't think about it too much...it's just a warehouse with trampolines strapped together that you jump on, section to section. There's a dodgeball court and a sea of foam cubes you can jump into, but good luck getting out. You have to think about all of the other people you just jumped into too. The staff could be a little more ehtusiastic, but seeing as it was 9pm on a Thursday where all you do is watch people and tell them they can't sit down on the trampolines, I can see why they aren't themselves bouncing off the walls.
-MAIN JUMP ZONE-
Multiple sizes of trampolines strapped together with pads protecting you from falling on the bars. There are even diagonal trampolines for you to jump into/onto/flip from. Fairly big, but they have a rule where each jumper needs their own section...probably for when people decide to test the laws of momentum.
-DODGEBALL-
Imagine the movie, but on trampolines and played with foam balls. It's pretty fun and you can even throw in some cool flips and jumps while unleashing a barrage of balls.
-SEA OF FOAM-
Imagine a McDonalds playpen, but with cubes of 1' x 1' foam you can just jump into. No flipping though. It can be quite a task getting yourself out depending on how deep you land. Some try rolling, some try swimming. I tried a bit of both, but just ended up trying to stand up and pull myself out.
-AMENITIES-
There are cubby boxes you can put your stuff in or lockers you can rent for 50 cents. Large picnic style tables and a raised observation area, probably for parents to watch their kids in the "Kids 7 and under" section. Various arcade games, and two big screen TVs with couches that let you watch the jump areas.
-VERDICT-
2.5 stars. Let's face it, you're paying to jump on trampolines. Go with a big group of friends, but beware of the stress it puts on your body. Jump enough and your spine will hate you. It's more tiring than it looks, so pay for an hour, and then decide if you want to keep going.
Van Halen's "Jump" is on the playlist here. F'ing perfect. Also, various Backstreet Boyz and Britney Spars tunes. You'll find it full of back flippin' teenagers that actually appear and act like they haven't ever tried pot and enjoy jumping up and down instead.
The Tues and Thurs airobics classes are a GREAT workout. At $7 an hour, it is totally affordable too. Taking my college girlfriends here when we have our reunion!
Used to work for a teen center & this was one of our field trips.
At first you think, what the hell is so great about jumping around all freakin' day?! But if you have any child left in you.. as soon as you start jumping, you also start cheesing like an idiot. There aren't too many activities to do here & make sure you eat before you go here but it's a great place to bring the kids in your life for a couple hours. * Especially if you want to wear them out for the rest of the day ;) *
Couple of things:
-WEAR SHOES THAT TIE. no socks so don't risk getting someone elses' GERMY ASSNESS on your feet.
-When you're jumping around and abruptly stop on the yellow lines, your upper back will start to complain. Just be careful =)
It was fun, fun, fun! I tried the trampoline aerobics class with Somala A. and Dana K. (thanks ladies!!) and OMG, what a blast!
50 minutes sounded like nothing much before the class, but after 10-15 minutes of warming up and jump and moving around on the trampolines, I was sweating like crazy, breathing harder, my legs and abs feeling tighter. There are different movement and exercise throughout the class so you get a total work out, head to toe.
I usually run and bike for my exercise, but this was definitely one of the most fun and innovative way to get your workout, and it was only $7 for a class!! The instructor was very friendly and encouraging. He was not pushy at all (I can't take the military style instructors..) but pushed me enough that I was not slacking :)
I wore running shirt and shorts, and running shoes. Some people were bare feet, some wore flat shoes. Oh, don't forget to drink plenty of water during and after the class. I am totally hooked now!
For activities..
Mehh... Maybe I'm not as kid-like as I thought I was. Or I'm just not that active. I didn't really care to jump around after 2 minutes of it. Plus I was really paranoid of breaking my knee on all the borders. I would've preferred if the place was one big inflatable jumping place. That would be safer. And you know what, the place wasn't as big as it looks in pictures. And thennn I really didn't like how it SMELLED... or rather, how PEOPLE smelled all sweaty and gross towards the end half of the hour.. Yeah totally not a 9 dollars well spent. Coulda watched a movie.
(Sorry Lyn! I did however, enjoy spending time with you guys tho! haha..)
I wasn't too sure about this place after the first 10 minutes....jumping around and rolling around with boys ages 10-15 years old who haven't learned the concept of hygiene and deodorant quite yet...stinky feet, sweaty little boys and farting. Sounds like fun huh? Actually this place is pretty cool......
We heard great things about this place, so my husband and I decided to check it out and see what everyone was raving about. Definitely a fun place with a few drawbacks.
I am not sure what I had expected from this place before I came but I always imagined it much bigger and nicer. There are three jump areas: the arena, the dodgeball area and the kids under 7 section.
We tried out the Arena area for about 20 minutes. That was all I could handle for the first part, its a great workout! It was a quiet night when we came so we had a lot of space to jump and have fun. Just be careful and don't be like my husband....he thought he could do a front flip and when he tried, he landed on his head and hurt his neck. It's not serious but he is still sore a few days later. Leave the flips to the kids!
The dodgeball area was probably the best part for my husband. Continuous dodgeball games the whole 2 hours we were there. People get put on opposite teams and you play dodgeball bouncing around. Great workout without really working out. Plus my husband made friends with all of these kids and it was cute when the little ones would fight over being on the same team with my husband.
This place overall has alot of positives. Great price especially on Wed when its $10 for 2 hours or $9 for 1 hour and its I imagine less crowded then on the weekends. Plenty of tables for people to sit. If you are a parent its a great place to hang out and read or work on your computer while your kids burn off energy. They also have a large couch and TV area. People working here are very friendly and even the kids jumping here were cool and respectful to each other.
The negatives: this place is dirty and dingy. And don't even attempt to use the bathrooms. Oh my God I about died in there --no ventilation and when kids are involved sometimes they forget to flush the toilets. Just stay away from the toilets. Floors are dingy and sticky and it has that weird metallic smell mixed with sweat throughout the place. Also, wear shoes! I made the stupid mistake of bringing flip flops with me hoping that I could just wear socks when bouncing but they do not allow only socks. Its either shoes or barefeet....ick! My feet were so dirty and sticky after. When you leave, you feel really gross.
Lockers are no longer free....they are 50 cents.
I'll probably come back for groups or if someone wants to have a party. Overall a great place but just expect to get pretty dingy here.
Lately I've been going to their bounce aerobics class, which happens I think every evening on weekdays. For sure though, there are classes at 6 and 7 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's $7 for the full hour of fun strenuous work-out. It's open to bouncers of all levels. A handful of people there can do flips and double flips with no efforts. I, on the other hand, can't even manage to bounce off the side trampoline without landing on my butt. Age ranges from probably 19 up to 40 maybe. Come work out with us!!

This place is a lot of fun. It is just what you would expect from seeing the video and pictures on… Read more »
I had never done anything like this before. Seriously, this is so much fun for people of all ages (and literally, there were people of all ages!). And it's a great workout too. I wore my gym shoes but apparently there was a weird rule about people not allowed to wear socks there but are allowed to be barefooted?
I came here with the boyfriend and his younger cousin one random Saturday afternoon because we had extra time and energy to kill. I had heard about this amazing trampoline place a few months back but unfortunately, none of my 20 some year old friends wanted to spend an afternoon jumping around. Literally.
We got there around 2pm and it wasn't super packed. It's sort of hidden between large warehouse like buildings, but it has a decent sized sign outside and if you can't read, you can just follow the kids to the place.
You go in and you pay $9/person/hour for total access to their trampolines. They have 3 parts: 1 main trampoline area, a dodgeball area, and a younger kids trampoline area with a foam pit.
We spent about 6 minutes in the trampoline area and were tired out of our freakin minds and sweating up a storm. Good thing they had high powered fans to stand in front of or use I would've created my own swimming pool. The dodgeball area was pretty cool. They have an employee manning the games and assigning teams, which is good because without that person, I'm sure it would be ruckus. The foam pit is cool too but all you're allowed to do is jump into the pit and climb out. no playing around with the foam squares.
At first I was convinced that 1 hour in the place was plenty of time, but when our time was up, I almost didn't wanna leave. It made me feel like a kid again. Although my body paid for it the next day. I was sore like a mf-er.
About a month ago, a friend of mine sent a mass email out about Jumpy World (I legitimately thought that was the name until I just searched for it on yelp). Five hours and 30 emails later, we had a plan to drive down from San Francisco to Santa Clara for Saturday morning Airobics class. Predictably, the plan completely fell apart when everyone drank too much on Friday night. But finally....four Saturdays later, down from eight to the truly dedicated three, we got our asses out of bed and made the journey to Jumpy World.
Naturally, we dressed in 80s workout wear. I assumed this was standard practice for trampoline aerobics, but the side comments I overheard about it not being theme day when we arrived proved me wrong. Yes, this place smells terrible. It's a combination of feet, sweat and ass. Aside from the ass, what else would one expect a trampoline warehouse to smell like?
$7 buys you one hour on the tramp. Five minutes of freestyle to start, 45 minutes of hardcore airobics, and five minutes of freestyle at the end. After 45 minutes of 80s/early 90s jams in the car, we were totally ready to get our tramp on, until the following exchange took place:
Girl in line: Have you guys taken this class before?
My friend: No, we're super excited!
Girl: yeah, it's really fun
Friend: we drove all the way from San Francisco!
Girl: Oh....well it's not THAT fun
Whatever biatch!!!! Airobics rulezzzz. And it was THAT fun! I half expected it to be a joke and half expected to get my ass kicked. The ass kicking expectation was dead on, I am freaking sore today. It turns out one hour of bouncing around is actually kind of hard. I'd say we were all out of breath within the first three minutes and my abs were burning within just a few more. I just learned that tramping is an olympic sport and If this place were closer, I'd be at airobics class every week training for 2012.
And it turns out they do have 80s night every month, so my assumption that 80s wear and tramp aerobics go hand in hand wasn't so crazy after all. If it were possible to rent this entire place out for a night, I would somehow get really rich, rent a party bus for all my friends in San Francisco, and have an 80s aerobic trampoline party. Anyone who thinks they can make that happen for me, please be in touch.
HOLY FREAKING COW!!!!!
Awesome. Just totally awesome.
I went with a couple girlfriends to the trampoline aerobics class tonight. Kid you not, this is the BEST flippin' work out class I've taken in a long, long time. It beats Zumba, hip-hop aerobics, fake cardio on the sit-down bike with the latest copy of Lucky Magazine.... etc. It was an ass-kicking workout and absolutely hilarious. I mean, you're jumping around on giant trampolines. Way more difficult than it sounds, and hysterical when people (like me) fall, or get so exhausted they just have to sit.
In fact, I am hesitant to even write this review because I'm afraid more people will go and spots will fill up... buuuuuuut that would be selfish.
Laying it all out there: It's not super clean, and yeah, it smells a little funny- but I wasn't in it for the scene. I wanted a fun workout that would leave me breathless and sore.
I got it.
Great music, energetic instructor (Jeremy), and a seriously challenging hour long calorie killing session.
Going back next week. Can. Not. Wait.
UPDATE:
Wanted to include a little more info:
It's only 7 bucks to take a class. They offer monthly passes that will save you some cash if you decide you're hooked and want to make Tramp Aerobics part of your routine.
And yes, there ARE guys in the class. Normal, cool guys who didn't just skip Jazzercise one week to try some new kind of cardio. (Not that there's anything wrong with guys in Jazzercise... I'm just sayin')
Fellas, if it helps, call it "trampoline fitness". Perhaps the "aerobics" terminology is a bit off-putting. It's not yo mama's work-out class.
Yes, you can wear your sneakers.... or go bare foot. (No socks- too slippery.) I busted out my jazz dance shoes- I felt like tennies were too bulky.
And YOU WILL get sweaty. So plan on a buffer between class and meeting friends for dinner.
Go here to feel like you're 13 again. Go here for your birthday party, and feel like you're 6! With an old school pizza party, people to clean up your mess, and awesome teeny bopper beats blasting in the background, Sky High is the roller rink of the 2000's.
Be sure to Superman jump into the foam pit!!
If you're a parent with a hyperactive kid, this is definitely the place for your little devil to exhaust himself after literally bouncing off the walls.
One star knock off as it felt a little dirty - kids (and normal people) probably won't notice this.
This place reeks!
This place overall is alright. Not the funnest. You get tired as hell jumping around. I couldn't even last the full hour. Part of it due to the lack of cool air in there.
This place is fun--just like the other reviewers wrote..its just jumping around which is cool
My biggest complaint which will be the only reason my friends and I aren't going back and why they only get 2 stars are the people who work there.
They are just RUDE--they stood there and made fun of us the whole time. I wanted to complain about one guy specifically who was short with spiked black hair to the manager but I didn't see the manager before we left. They would laugh at my friends every time someone fell and made rude looks. I asked one guy a question at one point and he mocked me for 5 minutes. SO RUDE. i would never bring kids around them either. Im pretty sure I can find other place to jump around.
I'd say that Jenn P's review is pretty much spot on. I went to the same birthday party with her, Kat C. Jane L. and Chris P.
First of all, is it just me or does the birthday package seem like a rip off?? $25 a person for 2 hours, a bottle of water, a slice of pizza, and a reserved table - I mean c'mon??
This place is definately a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be and YES, just like every single other yelper's review about this place - it smells like feet when you walk in......
My only piece of advice, wear shoes with good supports - my arches started hurting after awhile. The foam pit is fun although foam gets EVERYWHERE, including in your mouth, nose and eyeballs - so be prepared and yes, close your mouth.
Would I come back? No. But would I suggest this for kids? Yes.
I'm only giving this place 4 stars because it's not well ventilated and smells strongly of sweaty gym socks. Aside from the smell and poor ventilation, the place is awesome. It's so much fun.
I've been here a couple of times for their air aerobics class. Let me tell you, it is such a good work out. I'm sure you're thinking, it's only a trampoline, how much of a work out can you really get? Trust me, after a few minutes into the class you'll be sweating like crazy.
The good part is you don't feel like you're working out because you're having so much fun! If you come with a group of friends, it's especially fun to see the guys get tired out and have to sit down to rest.
The classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays and are only $7. They also offer dodge ball, which I haven't tried yet. If you're just there to jump, you can buy time slots on their website.
If it's your first time, it's a good idea to register on their website and sign and print out the waiver. It will help speed things along when you get there, as this place is very popular. Also bring lots of water or cold drinks and a towel because you'll need it.
There isn't a whole lot of supervision in the trampoline areas, so I would suggest that you keep an eye on your kids if you bring them there. One time I was there and a kid broke his ankle. It took a while for them to get a stretcher to take him out. So be careful!
Nasty, sweat-dripping fun. Bring a change of clothes.
There are three areas
1. a big huge area with trampolines strewn together
2. a dodge ball area.
3. a big pit of foam blocks to jump into.
The big huge area is fun to try to do flips on and bounce off the walls.
The doge ball area is great--there are sometimes little kids that want to play though, which can be admittedly a little unfair.
So much fun! But it wears you out quick. They have time slots so you have to get there early if you want a good slot. Also, if you plan on bringing kids that aren't yours, make sure you get the parental consent forms signed before you get there. Otherwise, it's such a hassle to have to go back to each parent to get their signatures.
At first I thought an hour (or I think it's less) of jumping wasn't gonna be worth my money, but i was so out of breath in the first 10 minutes of jumping. And it was a blast. They have four areas inside... the coliseum (i think that's what it's called) is where most of the trampolines are placed. behind that they have a section for dodge ball, the foam pit, and a little section for little kids. It can get a little crowded there, especially on the weekends, but you usually have 15-20 min for you and your party before another wave comes around for their time slot.
Two thumbs up for fun!
TRAMPOLINES!!!
At first thought, this place would be soo awesome to go to. I was pretty disappointed. From outside the place looks very cheap and medicore. It was just that. The price of $9 an hour isnt bad at least which is great so i tried to get my moneys worth. After a few minutes of bouncing i realized, this is it. Its just bouncing around. Pretty mediocre if you ask me. Sky High has 3 sections which are all equally disgusting. Kids are everywhere, jumping around, rubbign sweat on every foam casing. Its pretty bad here. With perspiration comes stench. All bad.
The only fun part was the dodgeball but it was just ehh. Not the greatest thing. You can only do some much here and not get injured. The yellow dividers are terrible. It would be impossible to not have them but they are a pain. Landing on one is guranteed injury. This place got so boring after the first 30 mins.Good thing we only paid for an hour.
This place should have a basketball area.
I don't know what parents are thinking when they plan their child's birthday parties here. Sure it'll tire them out right away and get them full with pizza, but I just don't think that's worth the amount of germs that they are likely to attract here. It's nasty here. Like, a funky nasty. It smells and it's sticky everywhere. Sticky from what? You tell me! If you really want to catch something, I suggest you jump into the foam pit where you can't do any flips, turns, or dives and come out smelling like 3 fat kids who just came out of the trampoline dodge-ball game.
my 7 year-old came here for a b-day party & LOVED it. trampolines, dodgeball & foam pit. she played non-stop for 2 hours.
there is a lounge area w/ 2 TVs-- one with a split screen of all the trampolines so you can keep an eye on your kid while you watch SportsCenter or read magazines- nice touch for lazy moms like myself :)
I could do without the violent video games & junky food, but what are you gonna do?
This place is a crazy workout, you basically, LITERALLY fall apart after 4 hours here. It's so fun, too - it's like this big room of trampoline. I went with a couple of girlfriends and had a blast.
We spent most of our time in the first room with the trampolines, but we did go into the second room with foam blocks (in which one of my friends stepped on a small child by accident). I didn't even see the third room but it's supposedly something to do with dodgeball.
The downside of this place are that you can't expect to find hygiene at this place, since everyone's sweating left and right, little boys farting and spitting, drooling, etc., so it's pretty smelly up in this joint. The other downside is that it's so danged expensive - though it's a lot of fun, it just seems like a rip-off at times.
Overall, it's a great place - not to mention the AMC theatres close by, so you can catch a movie and a dinner after your intense jumping session :]
Blood, this place ROCKS!! Their dodgeball zone is hella fun. My friend got a dislocated finger over here cuz it wuz hella fun. I wuz hittin that Deion "Primetime" Sanders everytime I had a highlight.
Here goes some video footage for people to get a feel for the place.

If you have hyper kids, this is the place for them. I promise you'll get them to bed early after a few hours at this place. It's $9 for an hour which isn't bad at all. This has been my second time there and I've realized how exhilarating it is to go and jump around on the walls especially after a long, stressful day at work (for the older folk). The dodgeball area they have is awesome! Playing against a bunch of 12 years really gave me a run for my money. I think I lost two pounds in one hour. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get a great workout and sweat their butts off.
p.s. I'm strongly considering the aerobics class that they have there... GREAT idea.
"Dodgeball?"
This is just rating the dodgeball. Because what is the point of jumping around when there is dodgeball. You can jump around anywhere, but where can you play dodgeball with bouncing around everywhere.
