Venue type: Indoor
With a whopping 35,000 square feet of linked trampolining, the folks at Jump Zone Santry are serious about their bouncing!
With the entire floor and most of the walls covered in trampolines,
once you’ve got your anti slip socks on you’re free to perform amazing
tricks (landing safely in their deep foam pit), run and leap like
Superman, or play dodgeball like you’ve never played it before!
It’s easy to get the hang of and madly exhilarating, plus even if you come down with less than maximum grace the tramp seams are professionally padded for your safety. The minimum age is 5 years and the maximum around 55, so you’ve no excuse not to give it a go, after all you’re in charge of how hard you bounce!
Their 2 individual Bounce Dodgeball Courts can be accessed by joining a league or by booking a group. It adds a whole new dimension to the game to leap metres at a time in avoidance or pranging your target from overhead!
They also offer a range of kids’ parties too with differing lengths of bounce time and activities involved, so if the place has put a bounce back in your step (did you see what we did there?) then why not book it for your next special occasion and have your party go off with a boing!
