Imagine a room filled wall to wall with trampolines. Now
imagine several more rooms just like it. That’s Sky High. It’s just as much fun
and exhausting as you are imagining.
We have only ever been to the Sky High in Concord, so it is
possible the other branches are set up differently. At Concord though, there is
one room that is for straight jumping. It’s the biggest room, and it is full of
trampolines. They’re even on the walls.
Next there is a room with a pit full of foam at one end.
Here you can wait in line, then jump down a long trampoline, jumping into the
pit at the end. This is a great photo spot moms!
Another room is dedicated to dodgeball. When my young girls
wanted to try it out I was somewhat nervous with all the much bigger teen boys
in line to play. I was happily surprised however. While they were fairly
ruthless with each other, the bigger kids made a lot of effort to avoid
throwing to hard or fast at the little kids. As you can imagine though, it’s an
easy situation for accidents to happen. My girls came out smiling, but I did
see one little boy take a hit with a foam ball that was not meant for him, and
it didn’t look fun.
As for the little kids, they do have one smaller room
dedicated to the smaller jumpers. I don’t remember the age cut off, but it was
maybe 6 or 7 years old.
In the back they have restrooms, a few video games and
vending machines, and tables for birthday parties. We were there once while a
party was in progress, and the kids all seemed to be having a great time. I’m
not sure what all is included in a party package (the website could tell you if
you want more info) but they at least got lots of jumping time, then cake and
such at the tables later on.
The cost is paid by the hour. Before you pay a lot up front,
try it out for one hour. The first few times we went, we worried that the kids
would whine about having to leave after only an hour, but it turns out that
jumping constantly for that amount of time is darn tiring. They are almost
always ready quit and rest when our hour
is up.
The Concord branch offers a special rate to homeschoolers on
Mondays from 1 to 2pm for $6.00 except when local schools are out for breaks or
holidays. The regular rate is $10.oo per hour.
