Jump America

My brother loves this place but it is pricy. At the same time you can get the bang out of your buck my brother goes at 6 in Friday and it ends at 10 which is 4 hours for $ 17… which is about $ 4/​hr… so its not so bad

Check in process is PATHETIC! 30 minutes!
Party members are split up during the check in/​waiver process. That includes 2 minutes spent filling out waiver on the computer.
getting inside… well. you must watch the video (additional time).after that you walk in and have no idea where the party table is since party host somewhere inside.
the only positive is my kids have a good time with friends. other then that my rating would be 0.

We came here for the first time as part of a Scouting event. My daughter liked it so much, she absolutely had to have her birthday party here.

It was ok. Paid for 2 hours and left after 1 ½ hours. Kids were bored. Wasn’t worth our drive from WI. Going to Milwaukee one next time.

Kids had fun but IMO way too expensive for a simple kids activity. Cost $ 50 for two kids, 1 parent and mandatory socks. High cost for two hours of activity in the middle of winter. Will not go again unless with a discount thru Groupon or such

Went to try this place with my son (3yrs old). It was a huge waste in my opinion. The staff took a long time trying to figure out how to enter a promotion into the system for a discount that had already been running for two days. They also charged me as an adult for access to the facility. Adults that show up with kids as young as mine should be given free access to help guide their kids around. I wasn’t there to work on my front flips into the foam pit after all!!! Also, this is really not a place for kids under 4 IMO. They only have one area dedicated to the young ones. They had staff standing around at multiple unused areas of the building but had the little ones section closed off due to the fact that there wasn’t enough staff on hand to open it. While we waited for them to open it we tried a few of the other areas (dodge ball, foam pit, large bounce area) again fun for a few minutes but it gets old fast. The staff runs the place like Guantanamo. If my child ended up on the same trampoline as another child they blew the whistle. If my son took more than two steps without jumping they blew the whistle. If my son didn’t clamber out of the foam pit as quickly as they would have liked they blew the whistle. My suggestion, if you do want to try it, pay for a half hour and see how you feel after that. I am sticking with Bella’s bounce house where kids can actually be kids without having whistles blown at them.

Jump America is every kids dream playground. As head coach of The Chicago Boyz Acrobatic Team I cant say enough great things about Jump America. The owner Joe is amazing and lets our team jump for free and has donated foam blocks to our organization. This place is safe, fun and huuuuge! I recommend Jump America to everyone I talk to. We love this place

My 5 and 8 yr old absolutely love Jump America. We started coming about a year ago, and usually attend the Friday night «Jump and Jam» which includes a live DJ with Music, light show and other fun activities. At $ 15 for 7−10pm (including Pizza) you can’t beat it. Just be sure to arrive before 6:45 or you’ll be stuck in a long check-​in line as it is quite popular.
This is also our go-​to place on days when school is closed or when the kids need to burn off some energy. Parents should know the food options are very limited and the tables for parents are not as comfortable as other places like The TreeHouse (who has mastered a comfortable environment for parents willing to stay for hours and hours). That said, the variety of activities (Jumping trampolines, basketball trampoline, foam pit, two dodgeball courts and a bouncy house), combined with very friendly staff and Management, make this a great spot to keep the kids active and entertained.
They also host birthday parties. My daughter had her 8^th at Jump America in February. They make it very easy to have a great party. Bring your own grippy socks (or buy there for $ 2). And while you can fill out the waver there, you are much better off completing it on their website (
) ahead of time so the kids can get right in and start their jumping!

Took the kids here for Labor Day weekend because weather called for rain. All 8 kids ages 2 – 19 had a blast! It’s nice that the jump areas are sectioned off by ages so the little ones do not get bumped into. Very large, a lot of areas to keep every one busy. Dodge ball, foam pit, basketball, & free jump. Plus a handful of arcade games, snacks & water is also available. Taking away 1 star because I stepped on gum on the main floor while barefoot — that was gross! All & all great place to bring the kids. Well worth the hour drive to get there.

I had my sons 8^th birthday here. The kids had a blast, I cannot complain about that at all. What I do think was the only problem is the pricing for parties. It is $ 265 for a party of 12. I did not have 12 kids coming I had 9. I could have done a party of 6 and then added on, however, once you price the extra pizza (we had some parents stay) the extra kids it almost would amount to the $ 265. What I did not like is that they don’t give you a price reduction if you have less than the amount of kids in the package. Every place I have booked parties for birthday’s does not make me pick a package based on the size, I get a price per person charge. But that was not the only thing that bugged me. They kind of nickel and dime you to death. EVERYTHING is extra. You cannot bring your own drinks in and the package price only includes one drink per kid (juice or water) for 2 hours so that is 12 drinks. So I got extra water for the parents and the kids who were so thirsty after one hour. They are a dollar apiece. But what bugged me the most is when they did bring the juice out it was carpi sun juices and they brought 2 boxes out (20 total) I did not ask for 20 they just brought it out and charge you for them. There were left overs in the box and I ended up taking them at the end of the party when I realized I was charged for them. That really bothered me. As I said my son had a blast as did his friends. I won’t return to plan a party. I think it is VERY expensive for what you get. I would maybe come for open jump for an hour or so.

Great physical entertainment. The cardiovascular work out is part of the fun. I spend most of my two hours jumping all over the place. The best part is the dodge ball game. The employees do a fine job setting up the games and making it fun for all. The basket ball hoop was kind of boring since it’s difficult to jump high enough to dunk the ball. Also, the space for the basketball activity is rather small.

We celebrated my son’s 4^th birthday here and everyone had such a great time! The staff was incredibly helpful with the planning and organization, allowing us to participate in the celebration stress-​free. The younger kids have an area to jump all to themselves so you don’t have to worry about older kids bumping into them. The older kids loved the basketball hoops and playing dodgeball. My son’s favorite part was the foam pits and we could not tear him away. The best part is how worn out they get after just a short time jumping! We can’t wait for our next trip!

Jump aerobics is the BOMB!!! Holy cow, I had no clue! I thought it would be some low impact, fun to bounce around and try just once, but I’m hooked! You may find this hard to believe, but it was probably the most intense cardio workout I have ever done (besides hiking highland bow in Apsen). I’m an avid runner and pretty fit, and this has left me almost unable to move the next day, no really… ouch…
Four of us went and when we first got onto the trampolines we were immediately 8 years old. SOO FUN! GO! Even if you’ve never been to a class, try it! Dorothy the instructor is rad. We will be back for sure.
P.s-if your curious, the class was mainly women, (we brought the only 2 guys but they loved it!) and I would guess late 20’s and 30’s.

I did a jump cardio class with my girlfriend. I scrapped up my toes and my girlfriend twisted her ankle

I brought my ten year old daughter and her friends on a friday night. They had a dj!!! She played all the songs that kids are into now days. They had such a good time. My husband and i sat and made fun of some girls that were trying too hard to be cool in front of boys. I like that theres someone supervising inside each jump area and they are separated by age groups. There were some older guys that didnt look like they belonged there…

Took the kids here in a rainy day. Pretty large facility. The kids loved this place & were tuckered out after all the jumping. The price wasn’t bad for an hour of jumping ($ 12 per kid).
When you first walk in you go to one of the 2 computers against a wall & register you & all the kids-​pretty simple but if there’s a lot of people trying to get in you might end up waiting a bit-​they might wanna get a few more computers if that’s the case.
They use wrist bands for the kids entry on trampolines– just confused how they know you’ve been there for your full hour? If they just base it off «on the hour» monitoring then I would suggest making sure you don’t show up midhour.
Lots of birthday parties going on & tons of kids but no one was on top of each other.
They are open pretty late so I am curious if older kids or adults frequent this place for a unique fun night? Gotta look into that lol!
If it’s crappy out & need to burn of some kids energy check this place out.

I took my daughter her for her birthday along with a couple friends and her siblings. We all loved it! I thought at first nah im not going to jump on the trampoline, im to old for that. I was wrong i had a ball! Unfortunately i jumped and split my new pants right down the middle. (no one ever said h&m was quality over price. smh) However i kept on playing and jumping.
They have multiple courts for jumping a small area and a large area. They also have 2 foam ball pits and 2 dodge ball pits. I will warn you. You will get hot, you will sweat… and you will smell feet! lol but the fun factor outweighs that by 1000. Please make sure to bring a towel to wipe your sweat off and to be cost effective bring your own drinks… water…gatorade…ect.
I had fun im sure you will as well.

quick summary: okay place with too many rules/​bad trampolines that take the FUN out of it.
Warning: there are these blue «pads» in between each individual trampoline that hurts a LOT when you mistakenly land on it. and you WILL because they are too wide and the trampolines are too small.
put some cushion on that Jump America, i’m sure many are hurting themselves!
AAAAND you’re not even allowed to double bounce (or «launch») anybody.
actually you can’t really do it even if you wanted because the trampoline squares are way too small, along with the rock hard «pads» in between each square… Lame-​o.
and i don’t have a negative agenda at all. i was very, very excited to go to Jump America for real. i’m 22 years old and brought to of my friends who were equally excited… and to be honest we were all let down.
like it’s hard to be yourself and act like nobody is watching when you have these creepy «court monitors» just literally standing their staring at you, not moving.
i’m all about spiritual freedom, and it’s hard to enjoy this place…
–unnecessary rules
–small/​dangerous trampolines
–overly strict monitoring
… i’ll now look elswhere. :)

Even as adults me and my friends have gone here and really enjoyed ourselves. It’s good to know they also offer aerobics on the trampolines as well and the staff was pretty nice. Even though the place was filled with kids on a Friday night we were still able to have plenty of space to jump.

This place is a dream come true! Remember when you were a kid and you could join join a gymnastic class JUST to get to jump into the foam pit at the end of it? Don’t remember this? Well now you can!
It took us a cool 45 minutes to get to Jump America from the North side of Chicago and the drive was beautiful to boot! This trampoline-​oasis is nestled in the un-​assuming confines of your typical suburban business park. I had so much fun bouncing around, I started day-​dreaming about moving to Gurnee and doing this every week! We were a group of four 20-​somethings and by far the oldest people there. Ideally, this space could be rented out for older crowds so as not to scare any of the kids and their parents.
My only complaint is how sore I am going to be tomorrow– I am definitely not nine years old any more but the dream lives on.
