Sky Zone – South Plainfield

There was a Groupon since this location is a newly opened one. We have previously went to the Allendale location before this one and thought to give it a shot. The parking lot was a bit of a strange setup as you drive through the back of the building and then proceed back towards the front. When you first walk in you would have to sign the waivers and its done electronically. We arrived around 10:45am, so the cashier told us to start for the 11am which we did. I guess they like to start half hours or on the hour which is fine. We had to wait till 11am, although I wish they would just let us in soon as as when your ready.
It wasn’t that busy, but there was a birthday party going on. There is a free jump area, basketball jump, foam pit, and 3 dodge ball areas. During the free jump the workers said the adults could not be in the middle and we have to move to the side with our kids. I was asked to take off my hat as well. Really? I’m not an 8 year old that lose my hat and just leave it there. I went back to put my hat away then my 10 year son want to play dodge ball with a group of other kids already playing.
I took him to the court and an employee started forming the teams. I went to join my son and she told me that I could not play because there’s no other adult so I couldn’t play. Come on, I wouldn’t been rough on the kids if that’s what they were thinking. The rest of the time I was just watching my kids play. They should have opened another court that teens and adults could play. We would have joined that group if anything. The two other dodge ball courts were empty and not being used. So my wife and I wasted our money buying the tickets so we can watch our kids and could not join them.
Overall, this place has many rules that you could not enjoy being able to play with your kids here. The Allandale location did not have all these restrictions. Although I understand there are rules, but you should accommodate people who are playing or paying as well. For instance opened another court since you have 2 others. Totally disappointed with this one and I didn’t have fun at all with whole experience. Hope they read this and make changes

Found this new location of sky zone from a groupon advertisement. Normally my family and I would go the Allendale location (also on groupon) but we figured let’s give the new location.
First, parking is available in the back of the facility and the entrance is at the side of the building. As soon as you enter the facility, you’re asked to sign a liability waiver, which is similar to all jumps elsewhere. Then, we head over to the cashiers where they provide you the sky zone socks (included in groupon deal).
We came here on Saturday at 11am and there were kids but it was crowded. There are 3 dodge courts which two were closed so only 1 was operable. My husband wants to join our almost 10 years old son in a game but the employee didn’t allow him. No adults are allowed to play when the kids are in the same court. While it’s understandable that we don’t want to accidentally hurt the kids, the employee should have opened up another court for the adults to play. We pay for admission too so why not!
In the free jump, there’s about 8 aisles for people to jump. Apparently, you can not jump near your kids. The adults must jump in the two farthest left aisle. This didn’t make sense at all. The whole trampoline is on pegs and the weight jumped should be evenly distributed. Smh. Unfortunately, we thought this location operates and services their customers similar to other sky zones location, so we bought a few groupon tickets for prior to this experience. It’s such a big disappointment and also knowing we need to come back soon to use the rest of our tickets :(

Pretty unfortunate that the crew here feels the customers are inconveniencing them. My group was told we had to wait for dodgeball for 20 minutes which we said ok. Then another 10 minutes goes by after the original 20 minutes and we are told we have to wait another 20 minutes for it to open up. At that point, the young male employee with glasses told us he had something more important to work on. So there we were, stuck doing nothing because the adult side of the large trampoline area was completely filled, we were not allowed to crossover into the kids area that had a grand total of four kids jumping, and we were not allow to play on the dodgeball court even though there were three employees standing around looking for something to do.
This place was nice being that it was down the block from work and we would go as groups after work to have fun but I guess we will have to find some where else to go.

My experience at Sky Zone was great. Granted My boyfriend and I are 20 years old, but the staff was super friendly and talkative. Even seeing them interact with younger children they all did a great job explaining and making sure everyone was safe. I highly highly highly suggest going on a weekday. I went on a Wednesday and had absolutely no line for anything. The rules they put in place seem a little annoying at first but once you start participating in the activity you realize that it’s for your best interest in safety to follow. I would suggest this place to anyone of all ages.
