Sticky Fingers Trampoline Park is an indoor wonderland for bouncing, jumping, and burning off energy, rain or shine. With dedicated zones for different activities including dodgeball courts, foam pits, and multiple trampoline areas, this Queenstown attraction keeps kids active and entertained while parents can relax knowing their children are safe in a supervised environment.
Weekday mornings or early afternoons (10am-2pm) offer the least crowded sessions. Winter months (June-August) see increased demand from ski resort families seeking indoor activities on rest days, so book ahead during this period.
All jumpers must wear special grip socks (available for purchase if you don't have them). Sessions are typically booked in one-hour time slots, and waivers must be signed for all participants. Food and drinks are not permitted in jumping areas.
Open year-round, making it an excellent rainy day or winter activity option. Particularly popular during Queenstown's ski season (June-September) when families want indoor alternatives. School holiday periods see increased crowds, so advance booking is essential.
