About

Pump It Up Hanover combines the best of both worlds - a family-friendly pizza restaurant with an indoor inflatable playground that lets kids bounce off energy while parents enjoy a meal.

Highlights

  • Multiple inflatable bounce houses, slides, and obstacle courses
  • Arcade games for additional entertainment
  • Pizza and snacks available on-site so families can refuel
  • Climate-controlled indoor facility perfect for year-round play
  • Dedicated play areas separated by age groups for safety

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Arrive early on weekends to avoid peak party times - the venue gets crowded with birthday celebrations between 1-4 PM
  2. 2.Bring grippy socks or purchase them on-site, as they're required for the inflatable play areas and regular socks can be slippery
  3. 3.Book a jump session online in advance during peak times to guarantee your spot, especially on rainy weekends
  4. 4.Pack a change of clothes for younger kids who tend to work up a sweat bouncing and playing
  5. 5.Check their website for weekday specials and discounted open jump times, which are much less crowded than weekends

Best Time to Visit

Weekday mornings or early afternoons offer the least crowded experience with more space for kids to explore all the inflatables. Weekend mornings right when they open also provide a good window before birthday parties dominate the afternoon schedule.

What to Know

Pricing typically includes jump time packages with pizza and drinks available for purchase. The venue books many birthday parties on weekends, which can limit open play availability. Grippy socks are required for safety on inflatables. Parents can supervise from seating areas while kids play.

Seasonal Notes

As an indoor facility, Pump It Up operates year-round and is especially popular during hot summer months and rainy days when outdoor play isn't an option. Holiday breaks and school vacation weeks tend to be busier than usual.

Nearby Eats

Since this venue serves pizza and food on-site, most families eat here. However, nearby Ashland Town Center offers additional chain restaurant options like Chick-fil-A and Panera Bread if you prefer dining elsewhere before or after your visit.
