BounceU

We had our son’s birthday party at Bounce U and it was a really great afternoon. The location was clean as always and the party went smoothly. I especially wanted to compliment the party hosts, though. They did a wonderful job. Steven in particular was so great with the 4 and 5 year olds. He worked very hard to make everyone happy and engage the kids and the parents, even when everyone was quietly munching their pizza and cake. Thanks for such great work!

Decent place to host a kids birthday party. Service was good. Kids had fun but I found this place extremely expensive for 2 hours of fun for a hand full of kids. It is one of those things you do once and then move on to something else.

i took my cousins to BounceU this afternoon
because 1) they were bored and 2) its inside,
i chose this venue over others in the area, because it looked the more
professional and safe, from the website anyways.
We went on a Weds for open bounce (5.99) per kid.
and to my surprise, this place was wonderful.
super clean, which i like, if didnt have that weird kid place smell
ie, chuckie cheese, or the local skating rink…
the young guy hired to monitor the little ones, seemed highly capable and looked like he was enjoying his job
the kids got a work out. (little did they know. BWAHAHA)…
jumping on all of the many play devices they have… there
i couldnt get them to leave. we stayed for a good 3 hours…
and left with sad faces, wondering when we would be back.
i guess it’ll be pretty soon…
theres no reason to say no.
its clean
they have wifi, and a nice little place for adults to sit and make them selves busy
its super cheap.
its indoors
the kids get a workout.
and they had a wonderful time…
kids ages (6 year old twins and a 10 year old)

When you have kids, you become kind of an authority on birthday party venues. In my 13+ years tenure as a mom, I have attended parties at the zoo, the waterpark, the local park, in basements, backyards, garages, and that annoying kid’s arcade with pizza hosted by a huge rodent. The common theme through all of these festivities is «kids+sugar+gifts+bored adults+tight space+loud noises = loss of my sanity and ever-​increasing hopes for a quick and painless death» It is with this somewhat jaded perspective that I recently visited BounceU for my son’s friend’s 8^th birthday party. I was pleasantly surprised that 1) the space was gracious and easily accomodated multiple large parties at once 2) the play zones accomodated kids AND adults, so if you have a hankering to become one of the Flying Wallendas, you are cordially invited to do so 3) for the REST of us, there were several «quiet» areas where mom and dads could escape the craziness 4) there was WiFi present if you were so inclined to tiptoe through your iPhone 5) the play areas were staffed with capable young people that could keep up with the energy level of the kids 6) the quality of the inflatables equalled or surpassed those typically found at the local fair.
Soon after the play session, it was time to move to the party room. The «party «room was adequately sized, but somewhat sparse and sterile. .. the fluorescent lights made it feel more like the DMV than a birthday venue, and despite the themed cups and plates, the walls and floors were way too institutional, making the vibe very harsh, and the kids seemed to have a hard time coming down from all the jumping and playing to sit nicely and eat pizza and cake (truthfully, my kid just wanted something cold to drink and to head back out into the play area). The party schedule didn’t allow time for the birthday boy to actually open the gifts, which was a bit of a disappointment, or a stroke of genius, depending on how you look at it.
To sum up: 2 hours later, my kids left happy, exhausted, juice and pizza fortified and asking to come back to play. .. soon!
