Pump It Up party zone

Review, for San Antonio location:

We went for my daughter's friend's b-day party. As a former inflatable rental business owner, I had a skeptical eye the whole time...


BUT, the place was great. They could have used an extra attendant or two, but overall everything went smoothly. They have two large playrooms, and the kids spend 40 minutes in each one, before moving to the party room. They get another 40 minutes in the party room.

The party room also has an inflatable throne for the birthday kid. Pretty cool.

The play rooms had slides, basketball court, jousting court, obstacle courses, etc - all inflatable.

The pricing isn't too bad for party places these days, I think it's like $250 or so for up to 25 kids. And they also have 'drop-in' time, where parents can come hang out with their kids and play - kind of like open gym time at a gymnasium. I took a few pics, I'll post them later when I get home....

The place was pretty clean, well lit, etc. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary at all. There were two attendants in each bounce room, and one in the party room.


Any other opinions?

 
my friend works there....she actually like working there, beyond me haha

they clean ALOT. I think after every party goes through a zone.

I don't think I could work there. Too many kids for me to handle. But they were pretty content running around playing, I didn't see any trouble happening at all....
 
One of my coworkers actually owns one of those franchises. Never been there, but I've heard its a nice place for the kids
 
My daugter has her birthday in December. It's hard frinding a place for her. i think we did her birthday 1(st) at chuck e cheese. That place though is kind of ghetto. But we next went to a place called jeepers which was even more ghetto. We paid 200 for a birthday party. None of the staff prepaired our table when we came in. Almost all of the rides were broken. We were also not treated very well because we were upper people in a low area.

Unfortunately most of the pizza/party places here are going downhill too - it's too bad, because it's a great market and a great revenue maker. There's a brand new Peter Piper here on the southside of town that is doing well. All of the other places I've been to are dumps!
 
I've been to a one in Santa Clara (Bay Area) with my daughter for a friends' birthday party. I was not impressed: although the slides are great, the building they have sucks. It's a former warehouse, it has horrible warehouse lighting, it is not ventilated nearly enough, and I suspect, the rides are cleaned rather poorly. The first thing you notice when you enter the zone - the nasty odor of old sweaty socks. 🙁

The odor of dirty socks everywhere. The old stained carpet, the slides, the slides... At least the rooms where kids have a snack are indeed clean.

Wow. The one here is about two years old. Didn't notice any odors at all, thank goodness...
