| - All my mommy friends have been talking about Pump It Up for quite awhile, so we had to check out what the hype was about. It took me awhile to visit because we had gone to Bounce U about a year ago and it was miserable. It was packed (they had a party, during open play. Stupid, or cheap? One of the two!), the AC was on too low so everybody was sweaty, the open bounce was 1.5 hrs I believe and my kids were asking to go after 45 minutes. I was like "oh heck nawww", since we had to drive all the way to BFE to get there (approx 30 minute drive). So, I forced my children to have fun at Bounce U.
When we go to Pump It Up, we're there for all 3 hours of open play and my kids are sad when the person comes on the speakers telling everybody time's up. The AC is set to a fantastic temperature although the music can sometimes make me feel like I'm at da club (really really loud house music). The teens who walk around supervising are nice and carry bandaids for injuries. The price can't be beat. It's cheaper than every other indoor play place I can think of that doesn't suck.
I also just learned about some program where they watch your kids for 3 hours for $20. They let them run around all crazy and then feed them lunch. The kids have to be 5+. Sounds like a pretty good deal.
Downsides: Unlike some other indoor play places that are open all day, there is a schedule for open play. Check their website for the days & times.
There was once a huge group of people who showed up at open bounce (10 adults, maybe 3 kids), and the adults kept telling my kids not to go into the obstacle course because they were too busy racing!! Super ghetto, and probably a favorite place for them since all those grown ups are free and they only had to pay for the 3 kids! One of them was wearing booty shorts that already had her oversized bum hanging out the bottom, and then was climbing through the obstacle course bent over, AT A KIDS PLAY PLACE!!?!?!?!? Perhaps a dress code for teens & adults should be enforced, something to the degree of... No buttcheeks & wear socks! Thanks.
Last downside, this place was hard for me to find! I had it up on my Maps GPS, but Maps told me it was on the left side! I should have known it was going to be wrong when my son (5) warned me about how much Maps has been failing recently, but I didn't want to believe it. It is on the right side when you're heading West from Las Vegas Blvd on Sunset, and you have to cut off the random car lane on the right to get in here. Watch out for cars!
