Bounce U

What it is:  Bounce U is another indoor playground with inflatables.  They offer open bounce for kids 7 and under every morning during the week, for families in the evenings during the week (includes food package) and for all-ages in the afternoons during the week and in the mornings on the weekend. 

What we liked:  There are two rooms with inflatables.  The first room is open for the younger kids (7 and under) for the first part of the session (from 10am to 11am) and the second room is open for the second part of the session (from 11am to 12pm).  The first room has inflatables more appropriate for the 4 and under crowd.  They have bounce houses, inflatables with smaller slides and climbing walls, an area to play soccer and a great inflatable skee-ball game where my son spent most of his time.  They allow parents to go on the inflatables with their kids but both parents and children need to wear socks. 

What we would change: Since they only open one room at a time and the rooms aren't very large it got pretty crowded.  The second room also had inflatables and climbing structures more appropriate for older kids so it would have been nice if we had access to both rooms during the two hours.  Also there were a few bigger kids that definitely looked older than 7 that were playing pretty rowdy around the younger kids.  Although the staff tried to keep them in line, they probably shouldn't have been allowed into the rooms in the first place.
