JumpTime

We have been to jump time in Meridian and Boise on a few prior occasions. Yesterday after being cooped up at home all day with a fussy baby my 8 year old and I set out with baby in tow to go to jump time meridian. We paid admission at 9:14 p.m. it seems ridiculously expensive at $ 10.50 per hour. I would have been fine with this rate if we were not treated like second class citizens the entire time we were there. They closed the foam pit at 9:40 so they can clean. after aaking if it was going to be closed for the rest of the night, I was told that it would «maybe» be opened up again and that it was really up to the Tramp Guard. I was told to ask the Tramp Guard about it just to continue getting completely blown off, vague answers, and told to ask other employees about it. My child was very disappointed because she did not even get to set foot in the foam pit area despite me having paid full price admission.
Here’s what really gets me, it was abundantly clear they were dead set on getting out of there no later than a nanosecond past 11 o’clock which is there closing time. After closing down the foam pit they continued their cleaning duties, asking me to move out of their way two different times. An employee was dust mopping the floor gaining closer and closer proximity to myself and my 11 month old walking infant. When he reached my baby with his dust mop he just looked at my baby and then looked at me like «get your kid out of my way». I swooped my baby up very quickly; If I hadn’t been so quick it was clear the employee would have swept on top of my baby’s hands!!! They mopped a section without restricting access to it which made my 8 year old daughter have walk barefoot on a wet, chemical covered floor. Prior to my daughter stepping on the wet floor, she asked the employee who was mopping if she could go where he had mopped so she could look for her socks. He told her to proceed with caution because it was slippery. He didn’t pay any mind to the fact that she was barefoot and that it’s a huge OSHA violation to allow a barefoot child/​person to walk on a wet floor.
THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN.
There was no manager on duty, the employees were selfish, rude, and unprofessional except for one young man. Unfortunately though, he was not proactive in communicating to any of his coworkers regarding the reopening of the foam pit. I mentioned the fact that I was very unhappy about it closing early having paid full price. If the employees were half decent, had received proper training, or perhaps if there was a manager on duty, this part of our problem at Jumptime Meridian could have been resolved very easily by simply offering to extend our time allotment. It is clear that it’s their way or the highway, and they will gladly accept your money at the full price rate too. Oh, and customers are a mere inconvenience.
Jumptime Meridian, be prepared for a BBB complaint demanding all of my money back and a call to OSHA.

We been coming here on and off for years. My kids always beg me to take them here whenever I ask them; so what do you guys want to do today? I have mixed feelings about this place. It’s expensive ($ 10/​hour), it’s kind of dark but it’s a good place to go when it’s too cold to play outside. After all my kids enjoy their time there.

I’ve gone there and my kids never had fun! It was expensive also. Jumptime I think needs just a little more things then what is there right now. The kids just really didn’t like it and I want them to enjoy themselves.

We’ve been to Jump Time several times. It’s essentially a gigantic warehouse filled with trampolines, allowing you to jump, hop, and play to your heart’s content. They also have a swimming pool-​sized pit filled with foam blocks to dive in, a dodge ball area, and a mini basketball court where the added boost of a trampoline makes shooting baskets a lot more interesting.
If I were to have written this review in the winter, it would merit four stars – not perfect, but very good. So fun that even my straight-​laced brother in law, an attorney, loved jumping. But our most recent visit (in July) has changed that opinion because Jump Time is not air conditioned. It was 100 degrees outside, and 90 degrees in the building. I asked a worker if the air conditioning was broken, and he confirmed that they just don’t have it. They do have several large fans to at least keep the air circulating, but it’s not enough. I was uncomfortable just sitting there, and my children, who were running and jumping, were asking to leave after 20 minutes – an unfathomable thing coming from kids who begged to go in the first place.
Jump Time is also pretty spendy ($ 10 per hour, per child) and they don’t do a very good job policing the jumpers. They assign each jumper a colored wrist band that corresponds with your «end time,» and they announce over the loud speaker when your color’s time has ended, but they don’t enforce it. That means that kids whose parents pay attention to them leave when they’re supposed to, but rowdy, unsupervised kids with checked-​out parents linger far past their paid time.
I split the difference on my review – three stars (two in the Summer, four in the winter), but personally, we won’t go back until after the hot weather ends.

Very impressed, what a fun unique place to take the kids to let them get all that energy out, totally impressed with the service. Jason was very helpful give that guy a raise! I will definitely come back there soon!

My 4 year old loves coming here. He tells us all the time that he wants to go Jump!
Great way to get the silly out when the weather is bad. My husband takes him for an hour and he’s begging for a nap by the time they leave!
I gave 3 stars for suggestions on improvements to make it all the better. I agree with another helper that the toddler zone is not monitored at all. When we first started coming here, our son was just a little guy and he would get trampled by these big kids who should not have been in the room to begin with.
The pricing was great for kids under 3. But I feel like it starts getting a little steep for 3 and older.
One nice thing, is now that our son is old enough to jump on the larger equipment my husband can join in with him. He says it is quite the workout.

Fun, but Never saw an employee at all in jump time junior. No kids under 48 inches were supposed to be jumping there, but many were, making it unsafe for my two year old.

Great place to take kids to play. An hour is all I can afford ($ 10???). I like keeping an eye on them as they jump but as they pass from Dodgeball to the pit to basketball and back again, I am running around on the perimeter. Makes it hard to actually work on anything.…Some type of upper level viewing area would let me stay in one place and keep an eye on them.
