    About the Business

    Established in 2014. Three generations of fun come together to create a one-of-a-kind family entertainment center. The Factory Gadsden was originally designed and built in the 80's by Jim Browning. In those days it was a real-deal fully operational factory, complete with machines, tools, forklifts... the works. When Jim retired and sold the business his son, Dan Browning, carried in his dad's footsteps by opening up his own factories in the greater Gadsden area. In 2013 the building Jim built 35 years earlier was up for sale and because of the sentimental value, Dan decided to buy back his dad's factory. Dan's daughter, Bethanne took on the challenge of transforming the old rundown factory into something completely different. Three generations of Browning's came together to develop a vision for something that would bring families and friends together to make a positive impact on our community. The vision evolved into what today is known as The Factory; a multi-location Family Entertainment Center.

      Excellent place to go no matter the weather! Add it to your list of amusements when the kids get tired of the beach! These trampoline parks are just plain fun! The facilities are in superb shape, clean as a whistle.

      I really enjoyed the employees and their enthusiasm!

      This place is clutch on a rainy day when we can't be on the beach. There was a spot in the center with a ledge and outlet plugs so I could perch with my laptop while my kid played, but had to stand. Not many places for parents to sit while the kids play.

      My son had a blast for his 3rd birthday. Very friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of activities for all ages. The only mishap was we received one less pizza then what we ordered for our party room. Overall a great place for kids to have unique fun in this area

      Great place for family fun. Lots of areas for kids to play and get out energy. Love the rock climbing area. Perfect place to throw a birthday party. My 6yr old and I have a wonderful time being kids together here.

      Very fun for little kids and even big kids! The birthday party was great. You can bet your kids will sleep good that night after getting all of that energy out!

      This place is awesome. My kids always have fun and jump off some energy.

      There's an arcade, foam pits to jump in, an enclosed area for Little's to jump in free from the threat of getting squished, a snack bar, rides which we didn't go on, dodgeball courts and party rooms. The facility is clean. There are places for non jumping adults to sit. I'm happy with the facility.

      It was literally empty when we came at 4pm and only one other family joined us so that's a good time to come if you want the place to yourself. I'm surprised they stay open during the day when school is in session but we're homeschoolers and it's a great alternative for gym. In fact I want to suggest now that the management look into some sort of homeschool discount day fir their slow days, this area has more homeschoolers than anywhere I've ever seen. It might help them fill the place.

      There was no one here to make sure kids were safe and rules were followed but that's ok as I was watching them.

      As fir the other reviews that gave low stars due to "beeping", If you don't like the beeping, don't sit on the massage chairs. problem solved.

      Five stars.

      A little pricy but we used the in app 20 of value for only 15....and used the check in and got an additional 3.00 off. Plus we brought our socks from another trampoline park so we didn't have to pay for socks. Sooooooo for our family of four for 30 mins it only costs Us a total of 20.00 #supersaver :) We liked the variety of jumping games and obstacles. We have been to 2 other trampoline parks. This one has a gated off kidee park that's nice for small jumpers. Over all 30 min for us old and fat folks was the perfect amount of time. Plus she gave us a few min extra so it was more like 45. Good fun on a rainy day

      Purchased a Yelp Deal

      Came back as we are back down here on vacation again. Unfortunately this experience won't keep us coming back. I paid over $60 and left within 20 mins. They had kids in their which seemed like regulars allowing to take the employees mic and cough into it while on. The same kids was running around coughing on purpose while yelling I have corona virus. The employee did absolutely nothing and though it was funny. These same kids climbed up and hung from both basketball baskets yelling help. The list goes on what we seen with our 20 mins there. Very disappointed and won't be a returning customer!
