The indoor go-kart track is the perfect way to celebrate a birthday, too. The twist and turns will challenge every driver. So if you ever dreamt of being a race car driver, come out with your friends or family for a friendly competition and let your dreams come true. 

Calling all bowlers!  There is a bowling alley too.  Imagine that.  Bowling fun anyone?

The drop zone is perfect for practicing flips and tricks safely. The giant inflatable airbag is great to absorb the impact from every jump while getting your favorite trick down.  

There is one place kids don’t get into trouble bouncing off walls. Practice your favorite tricks and flips on the indoor trampoline at the Prozone Performance Trampolines.  The wall-mounted trampolines spice up those trampoline jumping experiences where jumps and flips are more fun and challenging. 

Let your kiddos burn energy in the Urban Air rope course.

Challenge your balance and your friends to a friendly competition on the Battle Beam. Don’t worry if you fall it’s a short soft landing into a fun foam pit. 

Who knew dodgeball could get more fun?  Play a friendly game of dodgeball on a trampoline. Making the game more challenging and fun you will be dipping, diving, ducking and jumping to dodge the incoming balls. There is always someone nearby to remind you of the rules if you need help remembering them and to help get you started.  So bring your A team and start dodging. 

Leap of Faith is a good way to find a thrill. Put on your harness and climb to the top of the platform to take the leap of faith. Jump and grab onto the hanging cylinder or monkey bars. No worries if you miss it, you have your harness to get you back to safety. 

The trapeze is a great way to work on upper body strength. Challenge yourself and others to make it across the trapeze obstacles while practicing your routines. Show off your skills and put on a show.  Don’t be afraid to fall with the airbag below. 

Bring your team to a victorious win in Laser Tag. The dark smoky and challenging obstacle course is sure to please the best snipers out there. 

Visit the arcade and get your game on. With a variety of games ranging from puzzles, racing, and defenders and fantasy there is a game for everyone.  So when you need a break from jumping, skip on over to the arcade and challenge yourself and your friends.  

Hop on the Sky Rider and soar through the air for a fun zipline experience. 

Climbing walls are a good way to gain balance and coordination while building body strength. They offer walls of different levels of difficulty for the beginner and the pros. 

Play a friendly game of hide and seek in the Tubes Playground and obstacle course.  Race through tunnels, zoom down the slides, and climb down the ladder for an adventure race to the finish line. 

A fun family competition on the Warriors course would be a sure way to settle a score. Just like on TV, you could put your speed, strength, and agility to the test on this fun adventure.
