BooKoo Bounce

bookoo rocks! Everyone is extremely professional and it is a great facility with lots for kids to do. It never feels overcrowded and it is extremely clean!!! The perfect place to bring your kids!!!

If I’d let them my kids would live here.
We love the walk in play days and I wish they’d have them on the weekends. $ 8 for 90 mins and the rooms aren’t separated. They have wifi so I can roll up in here, let my kids go wild plus sit down and get some work done. Win win!
The staff is really nice but will step in when kids are getting out of hand or doing dangerous things.
Bad: Their $ 13 1 topping pizzas come from dominos.
Mommy notes: Requires socks (doesn’t matter if they match though.), water fountains and bathrooms have step stools, has snack bar, no outside food or drink, few toys for toddlers

The good:
The location is central, the actual bounce houses are clean, the staff helped to move the party along very nicely, the staff was very helpful in general
What they need to work on:
the ceiling was relatively dusty and could have a effect on the allergies of the small children they service
While the staff was helpful, the owners need to implement a dress code. I saw female staffers with shorts that are not only inappropriate for work, but inappropriate to be around kids. I don’t want my daughter or her friends seeing that and thinking it’s ok, nor should any boys be subject to it. Shorts should come at least to the middle of the thigh.

I’ve been here more times than I’d like to admit. I have attended tons of kid parties here and it always seems like every kid is having the absolute best time of their entire short life. They are so convincing that they make me even want to bounce around, but I manage to contain myself. Parties are split up into two areas and halfway through you switch with the other party. My guess is they do this to keep things interesting for the kids. Once they get used to the lay of the land on one side, its like BOOM now you have to navigate this new inflatable land! Just imagine the thrill. They have small party rooms for pizza, cake and presents. They usually almost always have two parties going on at the same time, but like I said, they are separated so your kids won’t bounce with stranger kids (heaven forbid). The facility itself is very clean, and cool. The staff are always walking around making sure nothing goes awry. Bonus points for plenty of seating for the adults.

I had my daughters fourth birthday party. This location is great. A lot of fun for the children and plenty of leisure space for adults. The owner is very friendly and accommodating to each guest. We will come back in the future.

Bookoo bounce is one my kids favorite places. It has a great staff and a engaged owner. It is clean and well set up for kids
This is a well run business and it shows. We have thrown 2 parties for my 5 year old here and both were fantastic. They let you spend half the party in one side and ha
F in the other that really makes it more fun for the kids

Adults allowed… but not in the BOUNCIES!!! Awwwwwww!!!
Nice place for kids to burn off some bouncing energy ORRRRR even for a birthday party. Lots of space and lots of bouncers in various cartoon character shapes.
Socks MUST be worn at all times while bouncing, I believe this to be a health concern. But once out the bouncy, for eating of party participating, shoes must be adorned.
Nice, kid friendly staff. Brightly lit. And the bathrooms, water fountains are all fashioned with step stools for the kiddies to step on for access… too cute.
I plan to return soon, in the hopes they lift the «no adult in the bouncies» policy… :)

I visited BooKoo Bounce for the first time today. It was inevitable — I have a 3 year old.
She absolutely LOVES this place. It’s going to have to be a regular activity.
Prices are quite reasonable and they have a nice variety of bouncy inflatable things… normal bouncy castles, big & small, obstacle courses, and a couple of huge slides. If you have a little one, you may have to keep an eye out for the rowdy larger kids, but otherwise everything is safe and fun for everyone.
Oh, and even the snack bar is reasonably priced, at only $ 1.09 for a bottle of water. Compared to other kiddie entertainment places, that’s cheap.
The employees were friendly, everything was clean (I mean, as clean as it can be with a bunch of children running around), Conveniently located right across the Huey, this place is fabulous.

I had my sons birthday party at BooKoo Bounce today. I was happy with the employees and their politeness, and the facility was also very nice. But, I was not happy with how the birthday parties are scheduled. I was not aware that when you have a party there, you do not get a birthday party room for the entire party. You only get to sit in the party room for the last 40 minutes of the party! The first 80 minutes of the party your adult guests are left with no party room to sit in and nothing to eat or drink! I felt like a heard of cattle being brought into the party room, served pizza and drinks, hurry up and eat your cake and ice cream, then get out kids! No time to open your presents! It was pretty terrible. Plus the cost was almost $ 400 for a 2 hour party and that is extremly expensive. I will never go back there for my kids future birthdays, and all my friends that were there today were also dissapointed in the BooKoo Bounce system. My nephew had his party at the MonkeyRoom and it was very nice… thats where I am having my sons party next year.

Perfect for kids under 8 or 9 years old. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. My kids bumped heads in the first minute we were there and the staff quickly provided them with bags of ice before I even had to ask. They have drinks and snacks for sale and a water fountain.
Dont forget socks! But you can buy a pair for about $ 2

Air conditioned clean and comfortable, more importantly FUN! I came here with a girlfriend that has 2 children age 4 and 9, we were looking for some safe and exhausting play for the kids… The nap after a few ours of afternoon bounce play is certainly a treasured thing to two friends that want to catch up. They had so much fun, laughing bouncing. They had been here once before but it was for a party. They really liked the walk in and play, and so did we. It was convenient and affordable, with friendly staff.
Go Play!

I’m now in my early 30’s and live a blissful, childless existence… but many of my friends have decided to start families and now I’m the favorite «uncle» that gets invited to lots of kid’s birthday parties. Being a good friend I’m always happy to attend a friend’s kid’s party, especially since it’s an excuse to go to shopping and find something really good for the little one.
This is the second party I’ve been to at an indoor inflatable place so this time I have a bit of comparison between the two. Of the two indoor bounce facilities this is by far the smaller, less than half the size of the other one I’ve been to. «Open play» was canceled for the day for the parties. The play area was curtained off into two sections, one of the each party going on. Each section had an inflatable for small children (with signs posted restricting ages allowed on them), a slide, a «game» style inflatable (such as a basketball goal or target for a football), and a large inflatable for all children. Each party was given 30 – 45 minutes on one side and then moved to the other side for another 30 – 45 minutes of play time. After that the parties were brought into the two party rooms for pizza and cake.
Overall not bad, but not as nice as the other indoor inflatable place.

The smell in here is just terrible. I am surprised they stay open and the health department hasn’t stepped in at some point. The teenagers working there could care less about keeping the other kids in order and this is basically a place to take your kids to be ignored. I wouldn’t come back since they don’t clean. There are better places in the city to take kids

I have been for both open play and parties and have always enjoyed myself. The staff has always been friendly and the atmosphere always enjoyable. The location is kind of tucked away behind the movie theater, but after going a couple of times it seemed easy to find.

Pretty much all you can ask from a jumpy house place. Good inflatables and clean. A little hard to find back in the warehouses but close to some good places to eat afterwards.

I brought my god children here last weekend, I was voted the babysitter of three toddlers for the day and was looking for an indoor place to play and found Bookoo Bounce.
So happy I brought them there, the kids loved it! I’ve never seen them so happy, or at least not when I babysit. They ran, jumped, played, and the whole time I was thinking they are going to be taking long naps today! This will definitely be in the regular rotation of things to do on my watch.
The only tough thing about the visit — Getting them to leave.

This is a second review of my experience with BooKoo Bounce and also includes commentary relating to communication I received from the owner regarding my initial review.
The owner of BooKoo Bounce chose to respond to my review by violating Unilocal TOS and giving his own business a 5 star review instead of sending me a message to simply respond. I believe this was done to balance out the low review his company received because of my rating. The owner also offered to make an in kind donation in my name to a local charity of my choice to resolve the issues I had and, as he put it, «reconsider your position & comments.» Hmmm (translation: have me alter my review)
First and foremost I want to make it clear that my reviews are always fair, truthful, and depict my actual experiences. There was absolutely nothing that was false about my first review of BooKoo Bounce, or this one. I stand by it and both of my experiences. I have no reason to lie to disrupt any local business. I realize that business owners feel compelled to defend their establishment as well as think of reasons why what happened might be just a fluke, but it wasn’t. I have been back to BooKoo Bounce to give it a second chance (unbeknownst to the owner prior to contacting me) and nothing was that different to change my review, so I hadn’t. Also, I feel the need to say posting an honest review is not «tearing down» or «attacking» a business as the owner implied. It simply is what it is… a bad experience, review, and rating.
My child was still terrified of the Batman inflatable on the next visit because it fell, again, and hence literally cried out of fear when seeing it and demanded we go nowhere near it. The owner mentioned in his comments the inflatable was fixed, but yet their own employee admitted it had been like that for some time… Interesting!
The smell was NOT simply a dirty diaper and the owner implying this is an insult to me as a mother. I know the difference between a smell throughout an entire place and just one child with a dirty diaper. The odor was overwhelming throughout and I literally gagged when entering both times.
The staff cannot keep up with the older rowdier kids and also did not enforce rules that are posted. I understand that parents should be responsible for their own kids and unfortunately there are parents that just don’t care or don’t watch their children while they are at BooKoo Bounce, which is of no fault to the place. However, why post rules and why have staff members who are allegedly there to enforce them for safety purposes of the other children if they simply do not?
After seeing the most important thing in the world to me be trampled by other older children on the alleged «younger kid» inflatables (all while the staff simply looked on), and be completely terrified yet again, I had had enough.
I am afraid all of this only reinforces that my poor impression of BooKoo Bounce was not a fluke. The owner’s response to my rating, the 5 star review of their own business, my second poor experience, and the owner attempting to bribe me to alter my review will (combined) keep me away from this place for good.
Save your money and take it and your child to the Children’s Museum or any of the Audubon attractions available to children in the city. They are safe and clean.
I stand by my honest reviews.

Nice place for younger kids party. The kids love it and the will be tired when they go home.
