🕑 1.5-2 hours👶 Best for ages 4-14. Younger jumpers (4-7) will love the foam pits and basic jump areas, while older kids and tweens can challenge themselves with more advanced zones and tricks. Toddlers under 3 may find it overwhelming, though some locations offer designated toddler times.🧡 Saved by 6 families
