Jumpin’ Jacks

Wow! This business was more fun than I expected. My husband and I debated different options for our son’s 10^th birthday party. We have only been in CA for one year but based on the other parties our sons have gone to, I knew that I would pay close to $ 500 for a party. So I wanted something different, fun, easy and a good value for our kids. We have gone to House of Air, Planet granite and Playmarin for parties but we wanted something interactive, active and where it was «special». My husband found the web site and asked me to call. They were very informative. They asked that we get a permit for the party since we were having it at a park. great idea– we ran a Nerf gun party last year and there was so much resistance from MV Park and Rec. They gave me a thorough low down. I booked the party a month before hand, the park permit was not a problem, since they already had their liability insurance on file with Park and Rec. They did a good job with the emails, 2 days before they reminded me that I had requested that the balance for the party be charged on my card. Very helpful because I kept trying to remind myself to call them to pay the balance.
Th day before the party, they confirmed delivery times and getting the waivers. Th day of the party went off beautifully. They arrived on time. The guys who ran the party were able to handle the kids but were still able to get them to have fun. They even played games with them! They made sure the kids were safe and respectful to them and each other. The kids had so much fun. And let me tell you, these kids have seen it all and have had it all. Some of these kids have laser guns at home and they said these were way more fun. I was surprised that the kids never stopped unless all their lives ran out.
Adding extra kids that showed up were not a problem. At first I thought the 90 minute booking would be too short, but it was fine. The kids were pooped by the end.
My only concern is the feedback from the community because I want to have this party for my 2^nd son. I am wondering if the other people in the park will call Park and Rec and complain about the guns. but really the only way that a bystander would get hurt, would be to willfully ignore that the laser tag party was going on and we did have a handful of those. Even some grandparents with a newly walking a baby walked though our space. They watched us for a while and could see that the giant inflatables were the borders. I even yelled out baby in the way, and the grandmother apologized but they let the baby lead the way, heedless if she got hurt or not. We will see on Monday if I get calls.
Otherwise, highly recommend Jumpin Jacks. I am even contemplating them for a party for my husband’s company.
