| - My wife and I scoured the Valley for the perfect place to host my daughter's 4th birthday party. We wanted to ensure that she and her friends were treated to a fun-filled and memorable party experience. Suffice it to say, Pump it Up came through in spades!!!
We arrived on the scene a few minutes early to make sure we signed all of the proper paperwork (waivers and whatnot). While we were filling out the paperwork with the manager, the remaining staff immediately flocked to my daughter to congratulate her on her birthday. She was in heaven from the word "GO"!
Pump it Up has two separate rooms in which the children can play. Each room is available for 40 minutes. The first room has an awesome obstacle course perfect to inspire a little competition in the children...and the parents, too! There's also a bouncy castle with an oversized basketball hoop inside. Past that, there's a super tall slide. I was a little nervous that it would be too big for some of the children, but as it turns out, these kids today are fearless! For the smaller children in this room, there's a HUGE circular bounce house with a raised platform in the middle.
After the first 40 minutes, the staff lined up all of the children behind the birthday girl, and took us all to the next room. Here, there are three more bounce houses, similar to the first room, but with some distinct difference. There's a giant basketball hoop that turned out to be quite challenging for even the adults. The basketballs used for the hoop are the size of one of those stability balls you'd find at a gym, only these were FAR heavier. It was quite fun.
But, the life of the party in this room was the climbing wall! It's a 20 foot angled bouncy wall that has different Velcro squares at various heights. The object is to take a Velcro flag and see how high up on the wall you can make it stick. Each of us took our turns (kids and adults alike), yet we were unsuccessful at reaching the top. The youthful staff, however, showed us old folks how it was done...darn kids!
After a sweet group picture, the staff ushered us to the final room. Here, my daughter and her friends were treated to pizza and soda from a local pizza place, and cupcakes we brought from home.
After the food, it was time for presents! My daughter got to sit in their super sweet birthday throne, all while wearing an inflatable "Birthday Girl" crown. She was queen for a day, and she loved it! While my daughter was opening presents, the staff were right beside us making a list of who brought which presents. What a load off of our minds THAT gesture was! We were prepared to make the list for thank you cards ourselves, but thanks to the staff at Pump it Up, we were allowed to actually enjoy the experience WITH our daughter instead of missing something because we were jotting something down.
Now, base price for a 2 hour party on the weekend is $275. That includes the 40 minutes in each room, and 40 minutes in the dining/presents room. Parents are responsible for bringing in their own cakes, ice creams, or cup cakes. Along with the desserts, parents are asked to bring in their own candles, lighters, and serving utensils for the cake/ice cream.
Pump it Up does not allow you to bring in balloons to their facility. However, they DO offer balloons for their parties for an added charge. They will call you the day before the party and double-check to make sure they have everything ready for the party. At this time, you'll also order your pizza, balloons, and veggie trays, all at an additional cost. The added price, of course, depends on exactly what extras you get.
Now, we chose our own theme (Mustache, BTW) for our daughter's party. However, Pump it Up DOES offer theme parties, such as Pirate Adventures or Glow Adventures. For the latter party, it's an extra $1.99 per child.
All in all, my daughter and her friends had the time of their lives! The staff at Pump it Up were certain to make everybody's day special! If you have a child that wants a memorable birthday adventure, then Pump it Up should be at the top of your list!
