About

With dedicated dodgeball courts, sprawling foam pits, and challenging ninja warrior courses, this high-energy venue gives kids a safe space to jump, flip, and burn off energy while parents can relax knowing everyone is having a blast.

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Purchase grip socks at the entrance or bring your own from previous visits to save money, as regular socks are not permitted on trampolines for safety reasons.
  2. 2.Book jump sessions online in advance, especially for weekends and school holidays, as time slots fill up quickly and walk-ins may face long waits.
  3. 3.Visit during weekday mornings or early afternoons to avoid the after-school rush and enjoy more space on the trampolines and courses.
  4. 4.Pack a change of clothes for kids as they will work up a serious sweat, and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the session.
  5. 5.Parents can jump too or watch from the viewing areas with free Wi-Fi, and there are party packages available if you are celebrating a birthday during your South Africa trip.

Best Time to Visit

Weekday mornings or early afternoons offer the best experience with fewer crowds and more space to enjoy all activities. Avoid weekends, public holidays, and after-school hours (3-6pm) when local families pack the facility.

What to Know

Sessions are typically booked in hourly increments, and grip socks (available for purchase) are mandatory. The facility has a cafe for snacks and drinks, and most locations are in shopping centers with ample parking and additional dining options nearby.

Seasonal Notes

As an indoor facility, Bounce operates year-round and is especially popular during Johannesburg's rainy summer months (November to March) and cooler winter period (June to August) when outdoor activities are less appealing. School holiday periods see increased crowds, so book ahead.

Nearby Eats

Most Bounce locations are situated in major shopping centers like Fourways Mall or Stoneridge Centre, offering food court options and family-friendly restaurants including Spur Steak Ranches (a South African chain with great kids menus) and Ocean Basket for seafood.
