Pump It Up

Kids can jump, bounce, climb, and slide at Pump It Up, the award-winning “inflatable party zone.” The climate-controlled arenas are filled with huge inflatable structures and provide a great space for birthday parties (which include private arena use, rather than just admission during public hours). Doors open at other times for Pop-In Playtimes and a variety of scheduled programs. Typically, parents are required to remain on-site while kids play.
