  3. 3.Purchase Sky Zone's special grip socks required for jumping, they're reusable for future visits and provide better traction than regular socks

What to Know

Jump sessions typically require advance booking and special grip socks (available for purchase on-site). Parents can watch from designated viewing areas with seating, and there's a small cafe area for snacks and drinks. All jumpers must complete a safety waiver before participating.
