Bounce U

I’m one of those parents who hates bounce house places. I know the kids like them but they’re just not my thang. We’ve been to Monkey Joe’s before for birthday parties and this place is WAY better than Monkey Joe’s. You get private rooms for the bouncing so that’s nice. There were two workers at our party and they helped all of the kids get up and down the slides. Plus, they didn’t seem to care if parents were in the bouncey things which helped since the kids were so small. The party part was a little disorganized — I think the workers weren’t quite used to dealing with 3 year olds as opposed to slightly older kids. But they had fun. I was impressed with how they shuttled everyone from room to room and everything seemed pretty clean. Vetta’s Soccerdome is my favorite for birthday parties but this was a very close second.

We usually find ourselves at Monkey Joes, but the description of the private bounce rooms at Bounce U peaked my interest. The crowds were much smaller, the noise levels lower and the equipment was much more fun. My soon-​to-​be four-​year-​old son loved the variety of activities. «Beans» did a great job entertaining the kids and keeping them safe. She also answered all of my questions. Such great customer service! We can’t wait to come back.

Both of my sons loved playing here. I have a 5 yr old and a 2 yr old. The 5 yr old ran around and did everything possible while I helped my 2 yr old through the large bouncy obstacle courses. Of course, that meant that I has hot and sweaty afterward but we all had fun. Make sure to remember to take socks for everyone that is going to play on the bouncy things or you will have to buy them there.

Its a strange business model: Hire a bunch of teenagers, buy a 8 or 10 blow up houses, and charge $ 350 for a birthday party that includes a bottle of Coke and few Domino’s pizzas. My kids love it here, but I would rather have a colonoscopy.
I get it, its not about me. I just think they could do a little more than the bare bones they offer for a party. Their profit margins must be huge. Maybe I should open a franchise.
