| - I like it! I really like it!
After seeing that 1,000+ bought a Groupon to this place, I purchased one for me and a friend at $15 each. This will include two-hours jump time for each of us on the main court, Sky Socks, and access to the foam pit and dunk court. We came in on a Sunday morning not really knowing what to expect because neither of us have been here before (not at the old location either). Let's just say my childhood lacked bouncy houses so this was all completely new to me.
It wasn't crowded on that Sunday morning so we came in, saw a waiver-signing station, signed our waivers and walked up to the nice gentleman at the counter. We showed him our phones so that he could redeem our Groupons, checked our IDs (have this ready, they love that), gave us giant stickers that said what time our fun ends to place on the front of our shirts, and I paid $2 extra for pink Sky Socks :) (I forgot what cause they were for). Afterwards, he told us where lockers and restrooms are and then to go to the main court where another employee will explain the rules. Easy enough.
If you want to use a locker, make sure that you have two quarters on you. If not, there is a change machine right next to the lockers. It's the type where you put your belongings in, keep the "door" open as you insert two quarters, close the door, and turn the key to the right.. Then the key pops right out. Boom! Your own locker. Yes, if you open the locker and then want to close it again then it's another two quarters.
Bring your own water! Refreshments and snacks are pretty pricey here.
We made our way over to the main court and were promptly spotted by another employee. He asked if it was our first time and quickly explained the rules to us. They do court separation so tykes on the left side and adults/big kids on the right side. One person per trampoline. I know some people were put off by that, but I saw a dad and his little girl abiding by the rules just fine. They met each other in the middle, were on separate trampolines, but still held hands and bounced together. I appreciate the rules set in place so that people don't get too rowdy and possibly get injured or injure others.
Anyways, I had a blast! It took me a little while, but after half an hour I experimented with different tricks to see what I could do. Doing a front flip into the foam pit was AWESOME, but man was it difficult trying to get out of it even with the rope provided to assist you. I was highly impressed with the amount of back flips, front flips, and other tricks I don't know the names of done by others. I saw that they also offered fitness classes here and I'm curious how that goes!
Can't wait to go back!
