Go to an Indoor Trampoline Park
If you have never been to Rebounderz, an indoor trampoline arena that currently has six locations, I would definitely add this one to your bucket list!
When I first heard that there was an indoor trampoline park fairly close to me over winter, I immediately knew that I wanted to go there. Although I didn’t get the chance to go over winter break, my dream came true last night.
A couple days ago I asked my friend Victoria if she wanted to join me and was psyched when she said she wanted to go. Before you go to the facility, you’re asked to fill out a waiver online, which you can confirm with a license when you get there. If you are under eighteen, your parent or guardian has to sign the waiver for you.
What I really love about Rebounderz is how much the facility is geared toward college kids. I noticed on their Twitter account that they have 21 and over nights and some people we met there told us that on Thursdays during the school year they have college discount nights.
I think it’s nice to find a place that’s not solely geared toward kids, so you don’t feel like the a big galoot or nutcase when you go there. I also noticed someone tweeting about how famous people apparently love Rebounderz now too.
After watching a quick safety video, Victoria & I started out on the giant trampoline arena, where you can basically even jump off their trampoline walls. Of course, there are rules though, and the referees are there to blow their whistles if you break any; even so, the referees were so friendly and happy to show off how high they could get on the walls.
Victoria and I also found it comical how many regulars go there, who approached us to say, “We’ve never seen you here before; is this your first time?” They were also happy to show us their flips and tricks. Although Victoria could do some pretty good flips, I was only brave enough to do a few small ones resembling tumble salts (and one flip into the foam pit), because knowing me and my evident lack of motor skills, I pictured horrible outcomes if I tried anything more involved.
We also played trampoline basketball for a bit. I thought the funniest part was struggling to get out of the foam pit, which felt as if we were swimming.
We were still having fun when our hour was up, but discussed how going back there a couple times would be a great workout. The amount of times I needed to get water or take a breather made me realize that I might need to workout more! I would definitely go back to Rebounderz and recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a fun break from the norm.
So has anyone done something similar or plan on adding this one to his or her bucket list? I want to hear about your experiences!
Oh how fun that looks…gotta search here in LA for a location…thanks for sharing.
Yes, definitely! It was so much fun 🙂
It took me a few images to understand the foam pit. I marveled at the conversion process it must have taken to transform the space into a trampoline venue.
Haha, I know right! That must have definitely been interesting :p
I’ve always wanted to go to one – I hear you can even organize a trampoline dodge-ball match – which just sounds like heaven wrapped in bacon lol – Also, I’ve looked into renting a bouncy castle – it’s easier than one would think… Keep up the good life! 🙂
Haha, yes, they were actually having a dodge-ball match when we got there; it looked like so much fun :)! And renting a bouncy castle would be awesome too! Lol
Love it, I’ve been there before. 🙂

Haha, Jennifer, isn’t it so much fun?!
It’s pretty freaking awesome. 🙂
I totally agree :)!
We have a similar place nearby. My grandson has been to birthday parties there. I never really thought of it as an adult play area, but what a great idea. For me though I will wait until I recover from a badly sprained ankle and finish 8 weeks of Zumba classes to get into shape (even then I wouldn’t try anything too tricky). You have given me a great idea in finding a place for grown ups to play! Thank you!
Aww, I hope your ankle heals ASAP! But that’s awesome you’re doing Zumba – how fun 🙂 And you’re so welcome; let me know if you wind up going! Lol
🙂 It’s on my bucket list.
It was so much fun :)!
Looks like fun. wonder if it will catch on and go to all the cities
I know, that would be so cool! 🙂
I’ve been to a trampoline park a few times before and they are so much fun!! I’m glad you had the opportunity to do this 😀
Haha, aren’t they :)?! I loved it!!
They have the same sort of thing in Australia it’s called ‘Bounce’ it’s lots of fun.
Ohh that sounds like a lot of fun too :)!
There use to be one in San Antonio, but i never got the chance to go.
Looks like so much fun 🙂 I have always wanted to do this too! I have a bucket list blog page and I am thinking about combining it with my normal blog. You have inspired me 🙂
WOW! I hope we have something like this here in our country. This looks fun!
Haha aww yes, it was a lot of fun 🙂 I hope so too!
So this is a great idea… Great rainy day/cold weather activity! (I can’t spend beautiful summer days indoors lol)
Yes, I agree! It’s the perfect rainy day activity 🙂 And it’s open until 11 pm, so we actually wound up going at like 7 pm lol
Haha I was JUST talking about this kind of place the other day – looks like sooo much fun! Also, just started following you and can’t wait for more updates, LOVE your blog!
<3, Charlotte
Haha Charlotte, it was so much fun 🙂 If you haven’t gone yet, I’d definitely recommend it! And thanks so much; I LOVE yours too!
Looks like fun!!
It was a lot of fun :)!
OMG that looks like so much fun!!! I’m going to have to see if there is a place like that around where I live.
Yes it was a blast :)! And let me know if you find one!
hahaha omg, the foam pit is horrible :’D As a kid I was in such a foam pit, and I have lost my shoe in it. It was horrible! I thought I would never ever find it again :’D
Haha that’s too funny! But that would be really difficult trying to find it in there, lol. It’s like swimming in quicksand or something!
Hey Christine! This sounds like soooo much fun! I don’t think we have trampoline parks in Toronto. I need to do some research hmmm
Haha, it was a blast 🙂 And you must check to see if you have any! Lol
I will thanks! I’m excited for Bark for Life this Saturday. I helped plan it:)
Ohh, that will be awesome 🙂
It was a ton of work but it turned out well! Check out my blog post:)
Hey Christine!
Just wanted you to know I was researching things I wanna do and sights I wanna see here in Toronto and I located a Trampoline park!!!
Hi Christine, trampoline park adventures might me happening sooner than I thought. The park is 11 minutes down the street from my place! So definitely going before the year is out:)
Omg that’s so crazy it’s only 11 minutes from you! Haha, you def have to go now 🙂
I will! I already informed my friends that we’re going lol
Hahaha, I love it 🙂 I hope you guys enjoy going there!
