House of Air Trampoline Park and Café
★4.0(246 reviews)$$Trampoline Park
🕑 1.5-2 hours (including 60-90 minute jump session plus time for arrival and cool-down)👶 Best for ages 5-14. Younger jumpers (5-7) love the foam pits and basic jumping, while tweens and teens get competitive with dodgeball and perfecting tricks. Children must be at least 3 years old to jump, and tots may find it overwhelming during busy times.🧡 Saved by 10 families
