Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park is Colorado Springs' ultimate indoor playground for burning energy year-round. With attractions ranging from a dedicated toddler zone to challenging ninja courses, this expansive facility offers something for every age and ability level, making it perfect for siblings of different ages or hosting active birthday parties.
Weekday afternoons right at 4:00 PM opening or Sunday mornings when doors open at 10:00 AM offer the least crowded experience. Avoid Friday and Saturday evenings when birthday parties and large groups pack the facility.
Pricing is typically by the hour with package deals available; all jumpers must wear special grip socks (purchasable on-site). There's a small cafe area for snacks and pizza, plus seating areas where non-jumping parents can supervise comfortably.
As an indoor facility, Urban Air is perfect for Colorado's unpredictable weather and especially popular during winter months and hot summer days. Hours expand during school breaks and holidays, so check their website for special holiday events and extended hours.
