The Air Port

Don’t be discouraged by the price folks. This trampoline destination is worth the money and your time. I’d recommend going for a full hour and jumping with the kiddos at least once. The one feature they are lacking is the foam pit, but they make-​up for it with cleanliness and friendliness. We’ve found that the other trampoline park in town which has the foam pit smells of urine. Ugh! No nasty smells at the airport though. Bring all the little ones and let then bounce until they burn every once of energy possible. It’s like investing in nap time.

I’ll preface this review by saying that to me, a 3 star review is not something to steer clear of. I enjoyed my experience at The Airport well enough and didn’t find myself wishing they would refund my money or anything. With the world being so big and with so many new things and places to check out, I find that a 5 star review means for me that I could see myself being a regular patron there, a 4 star means that I would certainly go back again some day, and a 3 star just means that I’ve seen it and enjoyed it enough, but it’s not a place I’ll go back to without outside persuasion (someone else wanting to go or a great promotion, etc.).
Being relatively new as a business still, The Airport has potential to grow and improve, and it’s my hope that my 3 star review will one day be overcome by numerous 5 stars. I just don’t think they’re there yet. I am basing my review on competitors like Skyzone and Elevation down in OKC.
Pros:
+Cost: An hour was $ 14 and if you bring back the socks they issue, it’s only $ 13/​hr the next times. This may seem like a lot to some people, and trust me, I’m not a big spender by any means, but I find that an hour is plenty of time for me to enjoy a trampoline park and feel thoroughly worn out.
+Free Jump Area: Consists of 3 different lanes with a variety of obstacles so to speak. The seasoned jumper can really do some impressive things in this space and it’s much better than the standard flat trampoline area that most places have.
+Basketball: While Elevation has a court with 2 hoops that you can play a game on, the Airport has decided to have 3 separate rims instead that are set up just for dunking. The rims are at different heights for all skill levels. Let’s face it, the main draw is to just be able to jump high and dunk, why bother with a real court? I think they did well on this one.
Cons:
–Time Keeping: They give you a sticker with the time you can be on the court. There is no color coding so one of the employees told us our time was up 15 minutes before it was. The colored wristband system at Elevation works better in my opinion.
–Dodgeball: While Elevation has two large dodgeball courts that can also be used for basketball or just free jumping, The Airport has 3 dodgeball courts of different sizes. This is well and good, but we were told that we couldn’t free jump on these courts and they were only for dodgeball. I would have had no issue with this but on this night we were 3 of maybe 10 customers jumping and there were employees at every station so they were essentially being paid to stand at empty courts that nobody was using just in case someone wanted to play dodgeball. In my opinion, a trampoline is a trampoline. If all three courts hadn’t been empty I could have understood but they missed the mark on this one.
–Employees: This is meant as constructive criticism and I mean no disrespect, but maybe be a little more upbeat. You work at a trampoline park, a place where kids and adults alike can have fun jumping up and down and defying gravity. The employees need to keep order, I get that, but you work at an awesome place, maybe smile a bit or even have some fun yourselves with the customers.
–Foam Pit: To me, not having a foam pit was a serious swing and a miss. I’m not the most nimble person in the world and the only way I can do flips without injuring myself is to dive in a pool or into foam. That’s the thing I get most excited for. Fortunately they have the real estate, just get rid of one of the 3 dodgeball courts.
–Online Presence: They’re new so they get a virtual free pass here but the website leaves a lot to be desired. I want this place to thrive but they need to get the word out. Sure it’s cool having the place to yourself but I know that it won’t last if they don’t start getting customers to pack the place out.
