Funbox

My kindergartner saw this on a drive by Park Meadows and told me that going there would be "The Best Day of My Life!" The introductory price was $9 per person. How could I say no?For him, it certainly was an experience to remember. It's not often I see him so excited before, during, and after an activity. Kids will love this. The setup delivers as promised, with a bouncy, colorful landcape that goes on and on and on. Giant slides. Obstacle courses. They can jump from mushroom to mushroom, climb walls and slide down the other side, or try to speed through corridors with giant balls or rope crawls. Fear of falling dissipates quickly after the first bounce.To this adult, the place had a distinct "American Gladiators" look and feel. I kept looking for Nitro or Zap in the crowd, but didn't see them, even on the Joust platform where one 11 year old was smacking younger kids off left and right. I appreciated that staff were ubiquitious inside ensuring safe fun--most of the time. Granted, it was the first day, but the logistics and staffing need some tweaks. Buying tickets online is encouraged, but you still have to wait behind people who didn't. Ditto for the special socks needed to grip the surface. Our session was to start at 3pm, but the line didn't move until a few minutes after. We got to the socks table at 3:05 and waited several minutes for the lone employee to deal with someone who dared to try and use cash (egads, right) and another whose card didn't work. We were among the first third of people waiting in line. Many of them were still waiting when we started jumping. Go early. While the website promises a near-90 minute session, the staff wasn't able to deliver that. We were cleared out at 4:15, barely an hour after waiting in line twice. People who waited in line much longer than us got much less time inside.Overall, for $9, the joy my son got from playing here was worth it for us. I had fun, too. The course is all that. It was the first day, so things can trend upward. Four stars for us, probably two if we'd been further back in line and had less time inside.

Drove 45 mins with 2 other families for an afternoon of fun here. While looking for the entrance, a nice young lady told me that I was at the right place but they were closing down due to maintenance. We were told to come back in an hour and a half. However, we already had an itinerary to follow and could not come back at that time. Looked like a fun place but bad first experience. We may give it a shot again sometime.

Friendly and helpful staff. Safety is priority for them and I'm grateful for this even if that means adult admission. Bounce house is very big so in order to make sure your babies are safe, you must be in there with them. Also, staying active with your kids isn't such a bad idea either

The entry policy here is ridiculous. Children are required to be accompanied by parents and to enter the play area you have to pay the full entry fee ($26) regardless of whether you want to partake in the bouncy house activity yourself or not.
