| - I received another bounce house birthday invitation. Ugh! Two hours of being stuck in dimly lit rooms with no natural light, sitting on narrow, hard metal benches. Then after 30 minutes shuffled into another room for 30 minutes. Inevitably some of the bouncy attractions are down for maintenance. I think they keep it dark so you can't see how dirty the place is. Then you are shuffled like cattle into another crowded room with uncomfortable cafeteria like tables to eat pizza, soda and cake. Then I hope that the 20 min car ride is long enough for the same stupid gift bag we get every single time, to bore my son enough that I can throw away all the little pieces of toys and trash when we get home. I hate it. I hate everything about it. My kid doesn't care because he gets to play with friends for two hours and eat/drink junk food.
I notice the name on the invitation is a little different than usual...Bouncy World. I think, that's not right. The address is Stephanie Street so maybe the place got a new name. I RSVP that we are attending and dread the pending day.
The day arrives. I ask Siri for directions just to make sure I go to the right place. She takes me to the wrong side of Stephanie. No problem. The correct address is only a few blocks in the opposite direction. I pull up and immediately can see that this is not like any other Bounce House party I've been to.
- First off, there are Windows! Lots of them. And skylights!
- The bounce houses are almost all out in the bright open space. A few are in a bright, big side room used for parties. They could use a little more space between the party tables, but I'm so happy with the place I'm not complaining.
- All that light shows how immaculately clean the place is!
- Free Wi-Fi! It's like angels are singing when I hear that. Finally! I can keep myself entertained for two hours without running up a data bill!
- and the seats for parents! Leather sofas and chairs. No more back and leg pain from metal benches.
- My only complaint is that there are no outlets near the sofas to charge my devices, but I'll bring an extension cord next time....problem solved!
Oh yes. There will most definitely be a next time...and not a Birthday Party invitation next time. For $12 my son can bounce all day! I will definitely be back for that price!
I could not believe that I was dreading spending 2 hours at a bounce house party and then ended up staying 6 hours! Unlike the other places that has a stop watch on the bouncy party, this place lets the kids stay and bounce as long as they want after the party ends at no additional cost. My son bounced until they closed at 8.
This is a definite new favorite place to take my son and his friends on a too hot, or too windy, or too cold day when going to a park is just too miserable.
I should also mention that I spoke with the owner and was extremely impressed with his market research to come up with a truly unique and pleasant indoor bounce house experience in a town that has way too many crappy, horrible indoor bounce house companies. Great job! I'm telling all my son's friend's parents about this place!
