BounceU Frequently Asked Questions

General

Is there an age limit?
BounceU is suitable for ages 2 to adult. However anyone who is 1 - 17 years old is counted as a participant. Walkers up to 2 years can go in, but since the equipment is quite big and manufacture safety requires minimum heights for riders(34 inches) children that do not meet the required height will not be allowed to ride. They are encouraged to enjoy the toddler area or any of the interactive games. Non-walkers and young toddlers are NOT allowed to go on the equipment. We do encourage adults to participate in the bounce rooms.
Can we just come in and play?
You are welcome to come in to play during our scheduled "Open Bounce" times. Please see our Events Calendar for scheduled Open Bounce times.
I forgot my socks! What can I do?
EVERYONE - Parents and kids - MUST wear socks in the Bounce Arenas. We offer socks for sale at the front desk
What forms of payment are accepted?
For your convenience, we accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express. Sorry no checks.
Can a guest play while wearing a cast?
In the interest of safety, any guest wearing a cast or other motion limiting device (splint, sling or brace) will not be permitted to participate on the inflatables.

Birthday Party

Do I have to know my head count and other options when I reserve my party?
No. We will call you approximately one week prior to your scheduled party date to confirm your head count. You can place your order for food, cake, and other add-ons at that time.

A $100 deposit is required to reserve your party. You may pay over the phone with a credit or debit card. The deposit is applied to the party price and is non-refundable. 50% of your total bill will be required one week prior to your party when your party details are confirmed.
You say that the party includes a certain number of guests. What if some parents want to stay and watch? Do they count as party guests?
No. Adults may stay during the party and watch the children play on the inflatables, or just relax at BounceU and socialize with other parents. They may also participate, as long as they first sign our standard Release and Waiver and are issued a wristband or a hand stamp.

LOTS! First we thoroughly prepare the room so that it's all clean, tidy and organized for your group. Then, we setup the party room with any items you may have brought such as your cake and paper products. We will take care of setting the room up with the gifts. During your time in the party room, we will be there to provide more supplies or drinks, take care of the spills, and check with you from time to time to see if you need anything else.
