Trampoline Parks in United Kingdom

Most of the 76 parks here belong to a handful of chains: AirHop and its Jump In branches, Flip Out, Oxygen, Ryze and Inflata Nation, with independents filling the gaps. Lets Go With The Children says Jump In sites run from Aberdeen to Tonbridge, that jumpers under 13 need an adult in the arena with no charge for a non-jumping supervisor, and that each has a mini jump zone for ages one to five. Flip Out's own site says NHS staff get a discount at participating parks.

If the visit is a birthday, the venues that separate themselves are the ones where a host runs everything. Reviewers of Flip Out Basingstoke credit hosts with taking the stress off parents, Jump Inc by AirHop Adventure & Trampoline Park Leeds names Katie and Ella, Jump In by AirHop Adventure & Trampoline Park Elstree names Cara and adds laser tag, and at Bounce Central Salford staff bring carts for your supplies. Jump Heaven LTD gets mixed reports on party organisation, so confirm the coordinator by name. Oxygen Acton parties are well regarded, but casual school holiday visits there have suffered from crowding and closed zones.

For under-fives, look for a dedicated slot rather than a corner of the main floor: AirHop Adventure & Trampoline Park Enfield runs under-6 sessions, the earliest toddler session at Jump Xtreme Trampoline Park & That Fun Place Bolton includes toast and juice, and Skyline Trampoline Park, Inverurie, Aberdeen-Shire, which OriGym lists among the UK's best, has a large separated under-5s zone. Sensory-sensitive children have SEN sessions at AirHop Adventure & Trampoline Park Guildford and AIRea51, and autism-friendly sessions with free carer access at Rebound Inflatable Park.

Older children who tire of bouncing get more elsewhere: 22 climbing walls at Velocity Trampoline Park, skate, BMX and bouldering on one ticket at Graystone Action Sports (Skatepark, Trampoline, Bouldering) (Manchester), an ice rink and laser quest at Flip Out Croydon, which Club Hub calls an adventure park rather than a trampoline park, and a wind tunnel with encouraging instructors at iFLY London Indoor Skydiving at The O2.
