| - Jumpin' in the Hood
I had never heard of this place before, though I've been been to Gravity and Flippin' Out Xtreme many times.
For a change of pace, I came here. Mostly because they offered a Groupon, which made it about 2/3 of the typical $20/hour at the places I usually took the kids to.
As usual, big mistake.
This place is in the middle of a crappy mall on Sahara with a liquor and a vaping store along with empty storefronts.
Checking in took 10 minutes, as there are only 2 computers to do the waivers.
Not clear what it used to be, but this place feels fairly budget rate to me. The place basically has no natural light, the walls are dirty, the sound system blurts out distorted rap way too loud out of blown speakers. The only places to sit are uncomfortable metal benches or massage chairs that sound an alarm if you don't feed it $3 for 5 minutes.
The trampolines are made of a more slippery material compared to the other trampoline places. Even barefoot, it was a little harder to stay in control.
The birthday party booths in particular are sad, looking like a cafeteria at a state penitentiary.
All this would earn this a 3 star review, but I need to mention the staff. Maybe because this place is less crowded than other places, but the staff came up to me 4 times in 90 minutes. First to tell me the flashlight on my phone was on. Next to tell me that my 8 year old couldn't be with my 4 year old in the foam pit. Next to tell me that two kids couldn't be on the same trampoline at once, and finally to tell me that my kids couldn't jump head first into the airbag.
In other words, they go above and beyond to be unnecessarily annoying.
Next time, I'll pay the extra $7 and save the drive and the harassment.
