Jump 'til You Drop

Earlier this year my son went to a friend's birthday party at Jumping World in Beaumont and quickly declared that's where he wanted his birthday party.  It is located on South 11th Street in Beaumont, in a big building set back from the road that used to be a bingo hall.  So in August we had the kids' birthday parties there.  I was very impressed.  It is very clean and has tons to keep the kids busy.  We went today after a soccer game since we had passes for one free hour of jumping (given to you when you book a party there).  This is just one side of the trampolines.  There is another side like this one, for older kids.  

There are age requirements listed on all the activities, and workers stationed at each one to make sure kids are taking turns and playing safely.  There's also a toddler trampoline, toddler bounce house and trampoline dodge ball court.

My kids' favorites seem to be trampoline basketball and the foam pit (of course)!

They also have very clean restrooms, a drink machine and a snack bar, where you can even get some hot items.  Although you have to pay extra, there are several arcade games and a water ball activity, which is $7 for 3 minutes.  I probably wouldn't have paid the $14 if we had already paid to get in, but we used our free passes.  Plus, the kids laughed the whole time.

Back to the birthday parties, our host did everything.  She cut the cake, served pizza and drinks and even helped pick up after all the gift unwrapping.  It was so nice to sit back and let someone else do the work and just enjoy the moment and take pictures!  It is a little pricey, with a weekend party being $250 for 10 jumpers.  Each additional person is $20, but the package does include pizza and drinks for the kids.  If you're not going for a party one hour of jumping is $11 per child.  When we went today, it being a Saturday, it was rather crowded, but sometimes you look past the cost and crowds knowing you have a happy, worn out kid for the rest of the day.
